94 % of the people exposed to Hepatitis B recover, in 1% the disease may become fulminant
and may result in death. In 5% the disease may become chronic out of which 4% may
become healthy carriers and 1 % may develop cirrhosis of liver and cancer. Actually it’s for
the fear of the patients becoming chronic and possibility of cancer liver that vaccination is
being propagated.
Presently the recombinant vaccine is widely used. In this technology a gene from hepatitis B
virus is introduced into yeast cells so that they could produce a viral protein. After
purification this viral protein could be given as vaccine.
Two strains of yeast are used for producing the vaccine i.e. saccharemyces cerevisine or
pichla pastoris.
Vaccines using hybrid particles and chemically synthesized vaccines are also developed
presently.
During a testimony before the sub committee on criminal justice, drug policy and human
reforms in the U.S. house of representatives, Ms. Patti White, a registered nurse has stated
that the children who received the first trial of hepatitis B vaccine in 1990 developed
developmental disorders, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders and serious
chronic illnesses such as diabetes, asthma and seizure disorders. As the hepatitis B vaccine
increased, the percentage of damaged children also increased. She also stated that “ in 25
years of nursing I have never seen so many damaged sick kids.” The NVIC U.S.A reported
that newborn infants are dying shortly after their shots. Dr Byron Hyde has testified before
the Quebec college of physicians that there were many reports of Chronic fatigue syndrome
after hepatitis B vaccination. A report was presented at national Rheumatology meeting in
1997, entitled “ An Epidemic of rheumatoid arthritis caused by Hepatitis B Vaccine “ .
There was a FDA (Food and drugs administration USA) list of 23,000 adverse reactions
after vaccination, mostly occurring in adults. The symptoms included chronic fatigue
syndrome, neurological disorders, neuritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus like syndrome.
The head of FDA remarked that the list represents only 1/10 Th of the total number of
reactions.
VAERS (U.S.) reported that between July 1 1990 and Oct 1998 there were 24,775 hepatitis
B vaccine related adverse events in all age groups, including 9,673 serious adverse events
and 439 deaths.
In May 1999 during a hearing by house oversight sub committee on federal health policy,
Rep John Mica stated that he found that serious reactions after hepatitis B vaccination were
16 times greater than the incidence of the disease.
American doctors call for moratorium on Hepatitis B vaccine for school children.
Representing the association of American physicians and surgeons Dr. Orient, the executive
director demanded a moratorium on hepatitis B vaccine for school children. He stated that
child younger than 14 years are three times more likely to die or suffer adverse reactions
after hepatitis B vaccines than to catch the disease.
Dr. Orient also condemned the practice of giving hepatitis B vaccine combined with other
vaccines. He further stated that using school children as research subjects, subjecting them
to unproved medical treatment without informed consent is in violation of the Nuremberg
code and if school administrators and government bureaucrats were subject to that code,
they could be prosecuted as war criminals.
Right of information
Every parent of child vaccinated and any other person vaccinated must be informed before
vaccination of the risks involved and the adverse reactions likely to occur. Thus informed
consent for vaccination either by parent or any other individual shall be mandatory.
Conclusions
The emphasis of on the part of government should be to promote health of people and their
resistance to various diseases by providing basic essentials of life to everyone i.e. shelter,
food, clothing, sanitation, protected water and gainful employment.
If vaccination is done without informed consent, the physician who has vaccinated and
promoter of vaccine shall be held legally responsible for any adverse reaction.
