Merck’s Combination Children’s Vaccine Linked to Convulsions

Children who take Merck’s combination vaccine ProQuad suffer from convulsions twice as frequently as children who are given two separate vaccines, a federally funded study has found.
In response, the federal Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has reversed its prior position of recommending ProQuad, which protects against measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) and chicken pox, over two separate vaccines for chicken pox and MMR.
“Safety, shortages, delivery issues – lots of reasons not to state such a strong preference,” advisory committee member Patsy Stinchfield said.
Previously, the committee had recommended ProQuad over the separate vaccines in order to reduce the number of shots that children would have to undergo.

ProQuad costs approximately the same as the chicken pox and MMR vaccines combined. Due to manufacturing problems, the vaccine has been in short supply since 2007.
Researchers in the new study looked at 43,000 children between the ages of 12 and 23 months who had been vaccinated with ProQuad and 315,000 who had received two separate MMR and chicken pox vaccines. They found that within seven to 10 days after vaccination, those given ProQuad suffered twice as many cases of fever followed by convulsions as those given the separate shots. This amounted to one extra convulsion per 2,000 children receiving ProQuad.
In absolute terms, nine of every 10,000 children receiving ProQuad suffered fever-related seizures, compared with four in 10,000 children in the dual vaccine group.
Children undergoing seizures did not appear to suffer any lasting effects, and there were no recorded deaths.
A similar study conducted by Merck also found a doubling of seizure risk within five to 12 days of vaccination with ProQuad, but said that the difference in seizure rates vanished in a 30-day time period. The absolute seizure rate from ProQuad was lower in the Merck-funded study, at five convulsions per 10,000 children vaccinated.

I love how our pediatrician tried to allay our fears about the MMR shot – by saying, “oh – we only give ProQuad shots now!”
Do you think were f’in stupid!?? Thats completely worse!
Unbelivable!!

Yes, this 5 in 1 vaccine causes convulsions,seizures ,high fevers, and then Autism .
Many children have suffered and there are lawsuits but the vaccine industry is protected by the government etc. and the families will continue to suffer with no help. I have a nephew with severe autism from this Proquad jab and he has a life of constant pain and 24 hour care .Wake up America get the facts ,and get educated.

A Pharmacy Student, stop using wikipedia, for the love of god. Go Read a paper on the subject or a long article carried out by proper well educated, non-government funded indivdual.
Vaccines, look at the article on the main page near the bottom. Learn the truth thanks, good day.

Or read how Louis Pasteur on his deathbed recanted his belief in the Germ Theory of disease.
Thus rendering the science of vaccines to be under extreme scrutiny and possibly subject to re-evaluation and dismissal.

Nobody ever mentions that infectious disease is not spread as easily if you live in a hygenic environment. If our bodies aren’t being poisoned by toxins, heavy metals and parasites it is difficult to get sick. My son had convulsions and fever followed by an ear infection only days after a vaccine called Prevnar was administered. (BTW Prevnar is given to help prevent ear infections). Prevnar has high levels of aluminum in it which would probably effect an adult let alone an infant. If we lived in a 3rd world country where you are bitten by all kind of insects and live by open sewers and waste dumps MAYBE I could see using vaccines MAYBE. But come on these companies are making billions a year on these things and telling you that you have to take it. We as a species are not that weak and frail that we will die if we don’t get a vaccine. My parents got me vaccinated and I only had 12 they want to vaccinate my son with 32 what the hell. Remeber these are INJECTED into the muscle where it will stay for a very long time along with whatever toxin they deem is safe as a preservative.
