Sat Apr 26, 2008 11:16 am (PDT)India recalls measles vaccine after child deaths
1 day ago
NEW DELHI (AFP) — India has recalled over four million doses of a measles
vaccine supplied by a south Indian drug manufacturer after four children
died following inoculation with the drug, reports said Friday.
"All state governments have been instructed to stop use of the measles
vaccine manufactured by the Indian Immunological Limited until further
orders," Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss told the Press Trust of India
news agency.
Further supplies from the manufacturer have also been halted, he said.
The government late Thursday ordered the recall of some four million doses
of the vaccine already supplied by Hyderabad-based Indian Immunologicals
Limited out of an overall order of nine million, the Indian Express daily
said.
The recall came after four infants who received the measles vaccine in the
southern state of Tamil Nadu died on Wednesday.
Parents said their babies started frothing at the mouth and nose and died
within 15 to 20 minutes of being administered the vaccine, news channel NDTV
reported.
The state health minister has said the children might have had a severe
allergic reaction to the vaccine, noting that some 20,000 children in Tamil
Nadu were inoculated against measles with the same drug Wednesday.
Samples of the vaccine have been sent to a national laboratory for testing
and a team of health experts is examining how the vaccine was stored and how
health workers administered it.
For now, Tamil Nadu state has suspended its measles vaccination programme
and inoculation programmes in other states are also likely to be hit by the
recall.
An Indian minister expressed concern that the development could jeopardise
India's larger immunisation efforts, sometimes beset by rumours about the
safety of the injections.
In the past, India's attempts to eradicate polio have been delayed after
some Islamic clerics spread rumours the vaccines would harm Muslim children.
Vaccinations - Updates & Articles
Subject: Vaccinations Linked to Mental Illness & Autism
Parents who have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder might need to be especially careful to avoid having their children vaccinated if they want to reduce the risk of autism in their children.
This is indicated by the results of a newly published paper [1] taken in conjunction with new information from the USA linking vaccinations to autism [2] and widely reported in the US media.
The new study found that 1 in 10 parents had a diagnosis of a mental disorder. A slightly higher proportion of parents who had a child with autism (1 in 7) were found to have had a diagnosis of a mental disorder.
[1] Parental Psychiatric Disorders Associated With Autism Spectrum Disorders in the Offspring: PEDIATRICS Vol. 121 No. 5 May 2008
[2] Developmental Regression and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in a Child With Autism: Journal of Child Neurology, Vol. 21, No. 2, 170-172 (2006)
The paper linking vaccines to autism states:-
"Young children who have dysfunctional cellular energy metabolism therefore might be more prone to undergo autistic regression between 18 and 30 months of age if they also have infections or immunizations at the same time. Although patterns of regression can be genetically and prenatally determined, it is possible that underlying mitochondrial dysfunction can either exacerbate or affect the severity of regression. Abnormalities of oxidative phosphorylation can be developmental and age related and can normalize with time."
Recent research has shown that whilst 20% of children with autism have this condition, it is estimated that further research will show 65% of children with autism are likely to be affected.
The CDC is based in Atlanta, where its 15,000 employes will be able to read this.
Investigative journalist David Kirby says of CDC Director Julie Gerberding "Gerberding was either grossly misinformed, or lying." and "Instead of answers, we get adamant silence. This is not a matter of national security. It's a national emergency." And Gerberding controls a budget of US$9.19 billion according to a highly critical US Senate Committee report "CDC Off Centre".

Give us answers on vaccines By DAVID KIRBY
- in addition to being a skilful explanation of the technical aspects, this just published 20th March Op Ed piece "Give us answers on vaccines" in newspaper The Atlanta Journal Constitution is especially unusual (full text also below)
- The Atlanta Journal Constitution is published in the "backyard" of the US Centres for Disease Control.
- it also shows the US media are more prepared than ever to publish hard hitting factual information when they would not touch this issue in the past.

This is also the first time respected political commentator Melanie Phillips has ventured into this territory for some years. That alone is significant. The fact The Spectator has published on this is all the more significant.

US Government Concedes Vaccine-Autism Case in Federal Court - Now What?
David Kirby - The Huffington Post -February 25, 2008 | 12:42 PM (EST)
"After years of insisting there is no evidence to link vaccines with the onset of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the US government has quietly conceded a vaccine-autism case in the ourt of Federal Claims. The unprecedented concession was filed on November 9, and sealed to protect the plaintiff's identify. It was obtained through individuals unrelated to the case."
For details of the child's case, see here for abstract of the Johns Hopkins paper "Developmental Regression and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in a Child With Autism" published in 2006 in the Journal of Journal of Child Neurology / Volume 21, Number 2, February 2006
In the full paper the authors' state:-
"Young children who have dysfunctional cellular energy metabolism therefore might be more prone to undergo autistic regression between 18 and 30 months of age if they also have infections or immunizations at the same time. Although patterns of regression can be genetically and prenatally determined, it is possible that underlying mitochondrial dysfunction can either exacerbate or affect the severity of regression. Abnormalities of oxidative phosphorylation can be developmental and age related and can normalize with time."
