California Infant Dies after 8 Vaccines, Family Gets Him Back from Hospital Cremated
Conclusion As long as vaccine manufacturers avoid doing causation studies, as long as this data doesn’t exist, health officials and published vaccine-promoting, peer-reviewed literature can state there is no proof vaccines cause SIDS or other vaccine injuries. How can a medical examiner be sure of which vaccine caused a person’s health to decline when multiple vaccines are given at a time? Overstimulating the immune system via vaccination can lead to a fatal outcome. Since it is proven difficult to narrow down which vaccine contributed to a child’s death after vaccination, giving numerous or combination vaccines should be a concern.

The Good Thing About the Disney Measles Outbreak
Cases of measles linked to an exposure at Disneyland continue to spread, not just in California, but in several other states and in Mexico. The numbers of cases are climbing — and so are the number of exposed people who might get sick — and expose more people before they realize they are sick. Measles is extremely contagious; if someone has it, they will infect 90 percent of the people around them who aren’t immunized. It’s scary, because measles can be dangerous. 1 in 20 people who get it will get pneumonia. 1 in 1,000 will get encephalitis, a brain inflammation that can lead to seizures and brain ...

Improving the care of children and young people in the UK: 20 years on
Introduction In 2000, practitioners in child health asked a simple question—who speaks for children and their health at the policy level?1 It documented the invisibility of children in the National Health Service (NHS) and made recommendations for the future. As we experience unprecedented political turbulence, austerity, increasing poverty and ideological reforms of health and education, is all well in the UK for children, childhood and child health now? The context Children are our nation's most precious resource because of the change in the old age dependency ratio—the number of active working age adults per...

Are Vaccines Right for Your Child? Debunking the Myths of the DTaP Vaccine
Conclusion As a journalist and a mother myself, I found Dr. Lewis’s paper to be poorly written, lacking in substance and containing very few credible references. If parents are given poor information and very few facts, how can they ever make an informed decision about vaccinations? Parents are continually being lied to by the medical profession, the mainstream media, the pharmaceutical industry and world governments, and it needs to stop. How can we trust a person paid to vaccinate our children? Let’s face it – Dr. Karen Lewis is, after all, the Medical Director of the Arizona Department of Health Services. She is h...

What Causes Neck Stiffness?
Discussion The complaint of neck stiffness always makes the clinician a little concerned until he/she understands the whole history because of the potential diagnosis of meningitis/encephalitis. While this potential is always concerning, there are many other causes of neck stiffness or pain to consider that are much more common. Normal wear and tear, injury or overuse that occur in daily activities and work can cause neck stiffness or pain. Often, even in adults, the cause of the pain is not recognized. Good examples are the adolescent above, or an innocent stumble, particularly if carrying something that may cause a perso...

Can You Avoid Lumbar Puncture in Febrile Neonates?
I don’t have a problem with lumbar punctures in febrile neonates. In fact, my son ended up with three lumbar punctures before aging out of the febrile seizure protocols. I do have a problem, however, with doing unnecessary spinal taps. The emotional stress of a neonatal LP on parents is significant, and the physical stress of the procedure on the infant is also substantial.     The pain of the needle and the unique restraint required for the procedure are also potentially problematic. The pain of the needle can be minimized by EMLA cream (eutectic mixture of local anesthetics [lidocaine and prilocaine]) and local ...

Acceptability of immunization in adult contacts of infants: Possibility of expanding platforms to increase adult vaccine uptake.
CONCLUSIONS: Most adults were willing to be vaccinated if offered during hospital visits or clinic appointments for mother or infant. Development and expansion of recommended immunization platforms, such as the cocooning platform, offers the opportunity to increase adult vaccination coverage.

Father Jailed For Life Without Parole After His 12 Week-Old Daughter Died After Receiving 8 Vaccinations!
Conclusion Despite Marrie’s obvious concerns that her daughter may have suffered from possible vaccine injuries, vaccines were the last things on anyone’s mind when it came to charging and sentencing Mr. Sanders. In fact, absolutely no expert witnesses from any field of medicine was asked to give evidence in Mr. Sanders’ defense. This case was completely one-sided, hinging on weak, flimsy evidence, all of which was completely circumstantial. The only way that this prosecution team could know for sure that Mr. Sanders shook his baby daughter to death would have been video evidence or a credible eyewitness ...

MenHibrix: A New Combination Meningococcal Vaccine for Infants and Toddlers.
CONCLUSIONS: Hib-MenCY-TT has been demonstrated to be a safe and immunogenic vaccination for prevention of disease caused by N meningitidis serogroups C and Y and H influenzae type b in healthy infants and toddlers. Currently, the ACIP recommends the use of Hib-MenCY-TT specifically in high-risk infants aged 6 weeks to 18 months. Hib-MenCY-TT provides the first therapeutic option for vaccination of infants as young as 6 weeks of age who are at increased risk for meningococcal disease.
