young or old, deaths just coincidence

[Guest guest]

Gotta love these explanations,

first they say SIDS cannot be connected to vaccines because vaccines just

happen to be given in the same time frame,

and here they say that deaths reported after influenza vaccine are probably

not related because old people have a high death rate anyway.

" " You don't have to be a mathematician to appreciate the fact that, by

chance, SIDS will sometimes occur shortly after the vaccine was

administered, " says Ellenberg. " The calculations that we have been able to

do suggest that the numbers of SIDS following vaccination that have been

reported to VAERS are not beyond what would be expected by chance. And there

have been some well-conducted, focused studies that demonstrate that SIDS is

not associated with DPT vaccination. But, on the basis of VAERS data alone,

we don't have proof that vaccines are not contributing to these problems and

we certainly don't have proof that they are contributing. "

" At the other end of the age spectrum, deaths are also reported after

administration of the influenza vaccine. " Often these vaccines are given to

people in nursing homes, " explains Ellenberg. Unfortunately, this population

has a relatively high death rate anyway, so it's almost impossible to say

whether a given death is associated with the vaccine, she says. "

And the ending comment, although they know vaccines can kill, they will

continue to use them until they can develop safer ones,

" As inevitable as some of those deaths, as well as other adverse events, may

be, FDA remains vigilant in its efforts to improve vaccine safety. The

agency will continue to be aggressive, says Hardegree, in its efforts, along

with manufacturers and other government agencies, to get safer vaccines on

the market. "
