Yay, vaccines!

CDC: Hepatitis B Down 89 Percent in Kids [in the U.S.]

Thu Nov 4, 3:11 PM ET Health - AP

ATLANTA - Cases of hepatitis B among children and teenagers have
dropped by almost 90 percent in the past decade, thanks to a
vaccination program against the virus, the government said Thursday.

A total of 13,829 youngsters had hepatitis B in the United States
between 1990 and 2002, the period of the study. The rate for that
group dropped from 3.03 cases per 100,000 people in 1990 to 0.34 per
100,000 in 2002, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (news
- web sites) said.

A government recommendation that all infants get hepatitis B
vaccinations was put in place in 1991. The program was expanded in
1995 to 11- and 12-year-olds and in 1999 to all children.

The hepatitis B attacks the liver. It can cause scarring of the liver,
liver cancer, liver failure and death. The virus can be transmitted by
casual contact with blood or other body fluids, as well as through sex
or shared needles, or from mother to baby during birth.

But isn't this drop due to better hygeine? Space aliens? Wishful
thinking? I mean, it *can't* be that a vaccination program actually
works, can it?

Second your comments.

I hope this sticks in the craw of all those yahoos who said mass Hep B
vaccination of children wouldn't do any good, because it's mostly
sexually transmitted and children don't have sex.

The truth is that children hit their teens and have sex before
anybody's ready for them to, as you see from the unplanned parenthood
figures. You can't surgically implant them with little condomes in
childhood, but you can at least vaccinate them against Hep B. And it
does work. It also protects from infection by blood spatter and smear,
something that kids scraping themselves do, all too often.

The critics said it wouldn't do any good, but they were wrong. We have
a genuine chance to totally wipe Hep B out, like smallpox.

I don't expect it will faze them a bit. What evidence not supporting

Precisely. They'll do one of two things: dismiss it (without explaining
why or producing evidence why it should be dismissed) or ignore it.

#3: They will claim it is fabricated, etc. in some manner to sell more

Nah- Mark had it right - they will just come up with other
(implausible) theories. I roting for the one that says it
was not actually the vaccination of kids that did it but of
homosexual child abusers.

More vax deaths & vaccine disease to treat
http://www.whale.to/vaccine/hepatitis.html

"The total 24,775 VAERS hepatitis B reports from July 1990 to October 31,
1998 show 439 deaths and 9673 serious reactions involving emergency room
visits, hospitalization, disablement or death. Therefore, more than one
third of total reports were serious events. 17,497 of those total reports
were for hepatitis B vaccine only, the remainder were vaccine cocktails
where hepatitis B was administered along with DPT, HIB, IPV, OPV,
etc."--Michael Belkin MICHAEL BELKIN'S WRITTEN TESTIMONY TO CONGRESS

COMMENT
You have forgotten the huge amount of vaccine disease you moron, now the
main cause of autism. That is 500,000 UK for autistic spectrum disorders, 2
mill say in US? With over 90% caused by vaccines, before you factor in the
epidemic of vaccine asthma, diabetes, ADD...

like smallpox?

"If people are worried about endemic smallpox, it disappeared from this
country not because of our mass herd immunity. It disappeared because of
our economic development. And that's why it disappeared from Europe and
many other countries, and it will not be sustained here, even if there were
several importations, I'm sure. It's not from universal
vaccination."----Dr. Mack

get the facts here http://www.whale.to/vaccines/smallpox.html not lies from
some pharma hand out

doesn't say much about having confidence in what you say

Wrong. It shows those numbers of adverse EVENTS, not reactions. The vast
majority of those events are just coincidence.

Therefore, more than one
third of total reports were serious events. 17,497 of those total reports
were for hepatitis B vaccine only, the remainder were vaccine cocktails

And the majority of those people did other things like, eat, sleep, get
exposed to infections, etc.

Vaccines were not the only things happening to those people around the time
they got vaccinated.
