The needle nuts are at it again — and this time, they’re pushing a dangerous vaccine on babies for a disease you shouldn’t worry about in the first place.
The feds have signed off on a plan to give Menactra, a vaccine that’s supposed to prevent invasive meningococcal disease, to babies as young as nine months old.
“The highest rate of meningococcal disease occurs in children under one year of age,” said Dr. Karen Midthun, director of FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.
Sounds scary, right?
But here’s what she didn’t say: The overall odds of dying of meningococcal disease are so low you’re more likely to be hit by lightning TWICE!
The condition strikes just 2,500 Americans a year, killing 300 — putting the risk of death at literally one in a million.
Now, I’m not heartless — any death at all is tragic. If there was a safe and effective way to save 300 lives out of 300 million people, I’d sign up for it in an instant.
But this ain’t it.
Take a look at this warning right on the front page of the vaccine’s Web site, just past all the usual promises of pain, redness, swelling, headache and fatigue: “There is a potential for an increased chance of getting Guillain-Barré syndrome following vaccination. Vaccination with Menactra vaccine may not protect all individuals.”
Talk about a double whammy — an increased risk of a crippling and potentially deadly nervous system disorder AND the vaccine may not even work!
Health officials claim the Guillain-Barré risk is small… but get this: The World Health Organization says the odds of getting the syndrome following a Menactra vaccination are 1.25 in a million.
In other words, the risk of getting Guillain-Barré syndrome from the vaccine is actually slightly greater than the overall risk of dying of the disease the shot is supposed to (but might not) prevent.
You just can’t make this stuff up!
Great post, Dr Douglass!
Many states have already mandated meningitis vaccination as a prerequisite for college admission. I agree with you – the needle nuts are at it again. IMHO, all vaccine mandates pose the single greatest risk to public health, bar none – a clear and present danger for which there is an imminent risk of harm. Vaccine mandates deprive the public of the right to refuse vaccination. Vaccine mandates are tantamount to using the public as Guinea pigs without their knowledge or consent. Vaccine mandates are crimes against humanity!
Perhaps we should start to critically analyze of each of the ingredients and so-called “excipients” in each commercially-market inoculation for safety, both individually and in combination with each of the other scheduled vaccines. Menactra might be as good a place to start as any. Here’s a lovely little cocktail for inoculation into our infants. This is shear insanity!
Biological Index:
bacterial culture
Corynebacterium diphtheriae
Neisseria meningitidis
Chemical Index:
bacterial capsular polysaccharides
diphtheria toxin
diphtheria toxoid
formaldehyde
Neisseria meningitidis capsular polysaccharides
polysaccharides, bacterial capsular
Ladies and Gentlemen, place your bets!
Common sense would dictate that a true placebo controlled, double-blinded study be required for market approval by FDA (USA) under the expedited timelines of Prescription Drug User Fee Act. Generally speaking, placebo fraud is rampant in the vaccine industry.
Was a true placebo study conducted for Menactra? NO.
http://www.fda.gov/downloads/BiologicsBloodVaccines/Vaccines/ApprovedProducts/UCM218548.pdf
All that FDA required for market approval was a showing of non-inferiority compared to an already-marketed vaccine. All that was really required for market approval was a showing that Menactra was no more acutely toxic than Menomune.
These ghouls want to mandate that our kids be inoculated with this sh*t!
No thanks. I choose to opt-out. I choose to exercise my God-given right to refuse vaccination.
All you ever wanted to know about the meningococcal vaccine:
Unfortunately, the vaccine (Menactra) is fairly ineffective in that it is only intended to protect against 4 of the 13 strains of meningococcus (A,C,Y, and W-135) and will not protect against the B strain of meningococcus, the most prevalent cause of meningococcal disease in developed countries and the cause of approximately 82 percent of all laboratory confirmed cases and 73 percent of all meingococcal deaths. Authorities often promote the meningococcal vaccine by publicizing the annual number of cases and deaths caused by the disease. However, this is deceitful because the vaccine will not prevent most of these tragedies.
In a 2005 CDC study of Menactra among persons 11-18 years of age, approximately half of the participants experienced at least one systemic adverse reaction, and nearly 5 percent (1 in every 20) experienced at least one severe systemic reaction. Non-systemic reactions were common as well. According to the vaccine manufacturer (Sanofi Pasteur), several neurological and immunological disorders have been reported in vaccine recipients after Menactra was brought to market: Guillain-Barre syndrome, facial palsy, transverse myelitis, encephalomyelitis, anaphylactic reactions, as well as wheezing and difficulty breathing.
Meningococcal disease is relatively rare. According to the CDC, 1400 to 2800 cases occur each year in the U.S., a rate of approximately 1 or 2 cases for every 200,000 people. Nearly two-thirds of all cases occur in persons aged 15 years and older. College students living on-campus, especially freshmen, appear to be at a higher risk than those living off-campus. Of 14 million students in colleges nationwide, about 100 get this disease each year. About 10 percent of the population carries the bacteria in its nonpathogenic form. None of the bacteria that cause meningitis are as contagious as ailments like the common cold or flu. The case fatality rate is about 10 percent. People with weak immune systems or suffering from a chronic underlying medical condition are most susceptible to meningococcal disease, but are also most at risk for vaccine injury.
The meningococcal vaccine may also be causing other strains of the disease to become more dangerous. For example, in a recent article of the Journal of Clinical Microbiology, vaccine researchers in Quebec believe that a cluster of fierce, new “hypervirulent” B strain meningococcal cases “is possibly related to the mass immunization campaign” conducted earlier in the region. Recent research in the Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology affirmed that “meningococci have the capacity to exchange the genetic material responsible for capsule production and thereby switch form serogroup B to C and vice versa.” In fact, the study authors conclude that “capsule switching may become an important mechanism of virulence protection.” In other words, vaccines that only protect against certain strains (Menactra only protects against strains A, C, Y, and W-135) could allow other non-vaccine strains to gain in both frequency and strength. A 2003 study in Clinical Infectious Diseases found that “the prevalence of meningococci with reduced susceptibility to penicillin is increasing.”
Prospective recipients of the meningococcal vaccine should know that it will not protect against bacterial meningitis caused by pneumococcus, Hib, or newly emerging strains. When a person is vaccinated and still contracts the disease it will be very difficult to determine whether the vaccine failed, or if the disease was actually caused by the vaccine, by a strain not included in the shot, or by a completely different bacterial pathogen.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently declared that “universal vaccination with meningococcal vaccine is not necessary.” The CDC conducted a financial analysis of vaccination for all college students and determined that it is not likely to be “cost-effective”. For example, vaccination of college freshmen who live in dormitories might prevent “16 to 30 cases of meningococcal disease” each year at an estimated cost of more than $600,000 per case. Instead, a national campaign is being aimed at middle school students, a larger, more “cost-effective” cohort.
Potentially dangerous and vastly ineffective, yet “cost-effective”. Starting to see where the priorities lie?
This is a great and informative article. But please be advised that your date stamp at the top is for 2012
Brandy – Fixed. Thank you for pointing that out! -nh
Well said William C. Douglass, M.D. enjoyed reading it
that is just disgusting!i lost one of my best friends in feb to guilliem-barre syndrome,and it was the most horrific expieriance!she went paralized and died,leaving her 2 small babies behind.the fact that they would endanger small babies with that chance is a disgrace and they should b stopped!
Scary, scary stuff. The needle pushers must be stopped, that is all I can say. It is true, do not be afraid of what the so called officials are telling you. Be afraid of what they are not telling you. Thank God for the vaxcouncil. You keep us informed with the truth and the truth is always on your side.
Sorry for another post because I know you people are completely deluded, but the good doctor misrepresented the contra-indications of the vaccine.
From the CDC ( I am sure they are in the pay of the great lizard overlords though)
Severe reactions to polysaccharide meningococcal vaccine are uncommon (24,32,41–48) (R. Ball, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, personal communication). Most studies report the rate of systemic allergic reactions (e.g., urticaria, wheezing, and rash) as 0.0–0.1 per 100,000 vaccine doses (24,48). Anaphylaxis has been documented in <0.1 per 100,000 vaccine doses (23,47). Neurological reactions (e.g., seizures, anesthesias, and paresthesias) are also infrequently observed (42,47).
Like all medicines there are going to be some who will react badly to it. But its the case of relative risk rather than absolute risk. You have higher relative risk of dying as a pedestrian than driving in a car. You also have a higher relative risk of dying from infectious disease if not vaccinated than if you are vaccinated.
But then again you confirmation bias will not allow you to accept it. I expect loads of thumbs down for this.
If you don’t have a clue what siloing is, don’t worry. XSitePro is designed so that these incredibly powerful features hide behind the scenes until you need them.
Interesting take on this subject, Why do you think that’s the case?

@weswt
Did you even read the article? The whole point was that the disease this is supposed to protect us from is incredibly rare. Of course, serious adverse reactions don’t happen to everyone; nobody said they did. But the rates are high enough that they cumulatively are far higher than the mortality rate for the disease. We are talking Guillain-Barré, anaphalixis, and seizures, all very serious and poetntially life threatening.
As patrons pointed out, the “placebo” was actually another vaccine. How do we know what the real adverse reaction rate is? In addition, the usual suspects are pushing to add this to the pediatric schedule leading to it being administered with other vaccines already on the crowded schedule. Does the adverse reaction rate consider this? of course not, it was never tested.
We are not all “anti-vaccine nuts”; I do think vaccination has a limited place in medicine. However, each individual needs a risk-benefit analysis before any vaccines are given. What are the odds of getting the disease? How serious is it? Is there anything that might contraindicate the vaccine (allergies, family history of autoimmunity, previous bad reactions)? Does the individual already have adequate titers?
The one size fits all schedule has one purpose, to sell vaccines. Forty-nine doses by age five is ridiculous. Autoimmune conditions are out of control in America, children in particular are suffering. No more. My kid is not a pin cushion.

I agree with your Risky New Vaccine Pushed on Babies, good post.
When I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now every time a remark is added I get four emails with the identical comment. Is there any approach you possibly can remove me from that service? Thanks!
such better info than years ago when my oldest was entering college. thanks for such detailed support for us to not allow the Meningitis Vaccine for my 18 yr old. who happens to have Celiac Disease…..she only had one round of the typical infant shots–at around age 3–and then i got smart and brave enough to end it! a
any of you knowledgeable on Celiac? the MDs have been less than helpful.
thanks,
