Here are the exact figures cut and pasted from a previous post. The
article
we were discussing appeared in the Feb 22, 2001 NEJM.

The analysis of data was confined
to the 3-14 day period after the first vaccination, after which the
rate
of
intussusception dropped to the baseline level.

Wasn't there actually a decreased risk of intussusception after
they left that window? I vaguely recall seeing a study that
indicated the vaccinated group had a lower incidence over the
whole period, just with the immediate post-vaccine 'blip".

Not that I recall but I would have to pull the study out again and look at
it and it certainly could have been mentioned in another one that I have not
seen.

It was a followup, after the withdrawal. Someone went back
through the public health records and noitced the blip increase
and a longer-term decrease.
