The vaccine whose risks outweigh the benefits

Q: My kids are grown, but they have small children of their own and I'm concerned about the number of shots they've been given already in their short lives. I was especially surprised when my daughter told me her pediatrician recommended that her little girl get a hepatitis B vaccine. What are your thoughts on it?

JVW: Please talk to your daughter right away and do your best to persuade her not to let your granddaughter get the hepatitis B vaccine. Giving children the hepatitis B vaccination triples their risk of developing multiple sclerosis.

When researchers analyzed hepatitis B vaccination statistics from 163 individuals with multiple sclerosis and 1,604 controls, they found a strong correlation between getting the hepatitis B vaccine and developing multiple sclerosis. Specifically, the results indicated that the risk of developing multiple sclerosis was three times higher in the group that was vaccinated against hepatitis B than in the group that wasn't vaccinated. By contrast, individuals given tetanus and influenza vaccinations had no significant extra risk of developing multiple sclerosis.

The hepatitis B vaccine was designed specifically for "high-risk" groups: drug users, prostitutes, and others. When these groups wouldn't cooperate with the hepatitis B vaccination program, los Federales decided that, suddenly, your children and grandchildren "need" to be vaccinated. But the risk of hepatitis B in children is very small, so there is absolutely no need to subject them to this potentially dangerous vaccine. What is...red dye No. 3?

Red dye No. 3 is a coloring additive used in foods, drugs, and cosmetics that was banned by the FDA in 1990 after studies linked it to the formation of cancer in laboratory animals.
