U.S. Soldier's Death Is Tied To Vaccines
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp...nguage=printer
U.S. Soldier's Death Is Tied To Vaccines By David Brown Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, November 19, 2003; Page A19 A 22-year-old female soldier who died last spring after getting multiple vaccines, including the one against smallpox, succumbed to an immune system disease apparently triggered by the immunizations. That is the conclusion of a panel of experts reviewing the military's experience with smallpox vaccine, which has been given to about 515,000 troops in the past year. A second panel believes that vaccination "possibly" caused the young woman's death. The woman received smallpox, typhoid, anthrax, hepatitis B and measles-mumps-rubella vaccine on March 2. On April 4, she died of lung complications caused by an acute attack of the autoimmune disease lupus. She had never shown symptoms, but analysis of two blood samples stored in the military's 30-million-sample repository showed that she had abnormalities associated with lupus as far back as 1998. The vaccinations apparently triggered a first "flare" of lupus, which an Army official, Col. John D. Grabenstein, said has been observed a few times in civilians. Neither panel cited a specific vaccine as the cause. A panel of scientists from the government's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and Armed Forces Epidemiology Board said the evidence "strongly favors" the theory that vaccination led to the death. A committee convened by the Health Resources and Services Administration split on the issue, with three members saying it was "possible" and two that it was "probable." William Winkenwerder Jr., assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, said there are no plans to change the vaccination program. A study published last summer reported 18 nonfatal cases of myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle, among troops getting smallpox vaccine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Even if this young lady's death was caused by her vaccinations, which is far from proven, it proves little, if anything. No one has ever promised any vaccination to be risk-free. If there is anything remarkable here, it is that the military has administered millions of vaccinations, and the subsequent mortality is low enough that a single death is worthy of media attention. --Rich |

Ilena probably leaves that in so that she can claim plausible deniability if anyone questions her about what the words mean. Her lawyers would refer her to a case in California where a madwoman kept repeating the turgid lies of some PR person and a court ruled that defamation is not defamation if you are not the original author of the defamation. I read on the Internet that one of the contributing factors to this weird decision was that the aforementioned madwoman and her pet wallaby performed some "services" for the judge. A business associate of the madwoman is rumoured to have the videos for sale. -- Peter Bowditch The Millenium Project http://www.ratbags.com/rsoles The Green Light http://www.ratbags.com/greenlight and The New Improved Quintessence of the Loon with added Vitamins and C-Q10 http://www.ratbags.com/loon To email me use my first name only at ratbags.com |

Sadly, this soldier died. Even assuming that it was vaccine related, it was the result of an immune system reaction which could not have been reasonably foreseen, as she had lupus, which was undiagnosed. I think it is tragic that the anti-vac liars will use her unfortunate death to promote thier ill conceived, and evil, agenda. |

As a child, I knew a few older people who were disfigured by smallpox scars. Now, this is so rare that I have not even seen one for years. There is no wild smallpox anywhere now. Vaccination is the reason. Get over it, John. --Rich |

Yes, one does wonder why the army physical did not pick up the "abnormalities associated with lupus" in 1998 when the specimens were processed. I wonder if this death will lead to changes in the labwork done on incoming recruits. I think it is tragic that the anti-vac liars will use her unfortunate death to promote thier ill conceived, and evil, agenda. I always wonder what anti-vac people have to gain by preventing vaccination. Why do they do it? Is it just ill will toward science and conventional medicine in general? Or is it genuine hatred of children of the world and a desire for more people to die of infectious disease? |

So one soldier died "possibly" as a result of vaccinations, and 514,999 soldiers were protected against a very nasty disease. Pretty good odds I would have thought! A lot more soldiers die from the euphemistic "friendly fire" and road accidents. Barry Hunt |
