The data sheet for Rotarix says: ‘The exact immunologic mechanism by which ROTARIX protects against rotavirus gastroenteritis is unknown….. Pharmacodynamics Immunogenicity: A relationship between antibody responses to rotavirus vaccination and...
Read moreA case of sudden death after Japanese encephalitis vaccination.
Boy Dies 5 MINUTES after JE Vaccine and they still say it’s not associated! This poor child was also dosed with psychotropics as he had developmental disorders (probably prior vaccine reactions). Abstract Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus is...
Read moreDengue fever vaccine may actually increase prevalence – Article actually suggests vaccinating LESS
Scientists caution that such dengue fever vaccines will probably cause temporary but significant spikes in the disease in the years after they are first used, according to a new report. Although it might seem counter-intuitive, the first use of a...

A priest has been killed by a yellow fever vaccine that he took for travel to a foreign country. He had the vaccine 7th March 2014 and initially appeared well, but then attended his GP on 15th March stating that he had been feeling unwell for a...
Read moreYELLOW FEVER VACCINE KILLS MORE PEOPLE THAN THE DISEASE
Neurotropic and viscerotropic serious adverse events associated with these vaccines occur rarely, but YF 17D vaccine-associated viscerotropic disease (YEL-AVD) is notable for its lethality. There appear to be two distinct patterns of risk for...

According to a CDC MMWR Report, 77% of cases of tetanus in California, USA, occured in heroin drug users: ‘Tetanus in injecting-drug users (IDUs) with no known acute injury comprised 11% of all cases, compared with 3.6% during 1991-1994...
Read moreRecombination among human non-polio enteroviruses: implications for epidemiology and evolution
Human enteroviruses (EV) belong to the Picornaviridae family and are among the most common viruses infecting humans. They consist of up to 100 immunologically and genetically distinct types: polioviruses, coxsackieviruses A and B, echoviruses...
Read moreEvolution and Emergence of Enteroviruses through Intra- and Inter-species Recombination: Plasticity and Phenotypic Impact of Modular Genetic Exchanges in the 5′ Untranslated Region.
Abstract Genetic recombination shapes the diversity of RNA viruses, including enteroviruses (EVs), which frequently have mosaic genomes. Pathogenic circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV) genomes consist of mutated vaccine poliovirus (PV)...
Read moreCommon and diverse features of cocirculating type 2 and 3 recombinant vaccine-derived polioviruses isolated from patients with poliomyelitis and healthy children.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Five cases of poliomyelitis due to type 2 or 3 recombinant vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPVs) were reported in the Toliara province of Madagascar in 2005. METHODS: We sequenced the genome of the VDPVs isolated from the...
Read moreRecombination between poliovirus and coxsackie A viruses of species C: a model of viral genetic plasticity and emergence.
Abstract Genetic recombination in RNA viruses was discovered many years ago for poliovirus (PV), an enterovirus of the Picornaviridae family, and studied using PV or other picornaviruses as models. Recently, recombination was shown to be a...
Read moreIsolation of sabin-like polioviruses from wastewater in a country using inactivated polio vaccine.
Study found vaccine strain polio viruses in the sewerage system in Switzerland. 20 out of 174 waste water samples contained 62 isolates of polio. Three quarters of the strains found had mutated into a virulant type capable of infecting others...
