VaCcines not responsible for 11 child deaths: ministry

[Guest guest]

Similar to the article I posted last week...........

" In seven cases in which babies suffered serious

shock after vaccinations so far this year, five

were coincidental, one was caused by a service

mistake and one had no clear reason "

What??????????? coincidental? service mistake? no clear reason?

" In most of the cases without reasons, dead

bodies were not autopsied so doctors don’t have

sufficient information to give the reasons for

the children’s death (the children’s parents

didn’t allow doctors to operate on the dead bodies). "

no autopsy but they determined it wasn't vaccines - yeah right.

" Hien said some babies died after vaccination

because of their parents’ mistake "

some? how many? parents' mistake? The mistake

of trusting their babies to doctors to get vaccines.

Blame the parents

" but without the vaccination, the child might

still have died. " - ahhhhh, that's resonable???

" post-vaccination complication percentage is

still at an acceptable threshold for all kinds of

current vaccines " - acceptable to who?

Vaccine innocent in post-vaccination deaths: Health Ministry

VietNamNet Bridge – The Health Ministry on March

20 officially stated that vaccine hasn’t been the

cause of the post-vaccination deaths of several babies since 2007.

In seven cases in which babies suffered serious

shock after vaccinations so far this year, five

were coincidental, one was caused by a service

mistake and one had no clear reason.

Dr. Nguyen Tran Hien, Head of the Central

Epidemiology Institute, said in most of the cases

without reasons, dead bodies were not autopsied

so doctors don’t have sufficient information to

give the reasons for the children’s death (the

children’s parents didn’t allow doctors to operate on the dead bodies).

Hien said some babies died after vaccination

because of their parents’ mistakes. Among

investigated cases, there are three cases in

which the parents didn’t know when their children

died. He quoted the case of a child’s death in

Dong Anh district, Hanoi during the recent lunar

New Year. The child’s parents left their baby at

home alone for 16 hours during the cold weather

and when they returned, the child had died

already. Doctors determined that the child died

because of bleeding pneumonia, not vaccine.

Mac Olivier, Chief Representative of the

World Health Organisation (WHO) in Vietnam,

confirmed that post-vaccination deaths of babies

caused by other reasons, not vaccinations, is

common, especially for newborn babies. In the

first 28 days in life, babies are prone to death

because of various reasons. If a death coincides

with a vaccination, the vaccination is easily

condemned as the reason, but without the

vaccination, the child might still have died.

Since 2007 many post-vaccination child deaths

have been reported in Vietnam. After each case,

the Health Ministry performed an investigation

but it has only just announced results.

Last year Vietnam recorded 29 cases of serious

shock and death after vaccination. Fifteen cases

were determined to be coincidences (caused by

other reasons, not vaccination); ten cases were

without specific reasons: one was self-protection

shock; and only three were due to vaccination service mistakes.

Dr. Hien also explained why most of the

post-vaccination deaths are related to hepatitis

B vaccine. He said this vaccine was added to the

national expanded vaccination programme in 2003.

The number of babies vaccinated with hepatitis B

vaccine has increased highly so the number of

complications also increases. In 2006, the

percentage of newborn babies who were injected

with this vaccine in the first 24 hours was 66%

and thus the number of child deaths after hepatitis B vaccination increased.

The Health Ministry confirmed that the

post-vaccination complication percentage is still

at an acceptable threshold for all kinds of current vaccines.

Frightened by post-vaccination deaths, the

proportion of vaccinated children in Vietnam last

year fell from 96% to 81%. The percentage of

newborn babies who got the first hepatitis B

injection within the first 24 hours plunged from

66% in 2006 to 28% in 2007. The ratio of children

who got all three injections also declined from 98% to 71%.
