Combo Vaccine Raises Risk of Fever-Related Seizures in Kids
Toddlers who receive the combination MMRV (measles, mumps, rubella and varicella) vaccine are at higher risk of having a febrile seizure a week to 10 days after receiving the shot than children who get the MMR and varicella (chicken pox) vaccines separately at the same visit, a new study confirms. Although the combination shot doubles the risk of febrile seizure, the odds are still quite small, experts noted.
What’s important for parents to understand is that even though there’s a doubling of the risk for the combination vaccine, the overall risk of seizure to any one child with any measles-containing vaccine is still less than one in 1,000 doses,” said Dr. Nicola Klein, co-director of the Kaiser Permanente Vaccine Study Center in Oakland, Calif., and lead investigator of the study, published online June 28 and in the July print issue of Pediatrics.
The study, funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, involved the health records of more than 459,000 children who received their first dose of measles-containing vaccine between 2000 and 2008. The data came the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), a vaccine safety surveillance system sponsored by the CDC and comprised of health records from eight managed care organizations across the country.
Researchers found that among 12- to 23-months olds who received their first dose of measles-containing vaccine, the MMRV shot resulted in one additional febrile seizure for every 2,300 doses given when compared with separate MMRV and varicella vaccines.
Febrile seizures are brief convulsions brought on by fever that occur in about 5 percent of children between 6 months and 5 years of age, said Klein. Although the seizures are distressing, especially to parents, they don’t lead to epilepsy or seizure disorders.
The findings are a follow-up to preliminary findings on the twofold increased risk of febrile seizures, which Klein and her colleagues reported to the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) in February 2008. Soon afterward, the ACIP changed its recommendations from a stated preference for the MMRV vaccine to no preference for either MMRV or separate MMR and varicella vaccines.
“The reason we did the larger study was to confirm the finding of the twofold increased risk, and to evaluate seizures that occurred at other times, and we found no increased risk outside the seven-to-10-day window,” said Klein.
The MMRV vaccine, made by Merck & Co., was licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2005, for use in children aged 12 months to 12 years. The first dose was recommended at 12 to 15 months, and the second at 4 to 6 years. Since 2007, the vaccine has been unavailable because of manufacturing problems, but the company recently began taking orders for it again. Many clinics and doctors offices still had the vaccine in stock for much of 2008.
Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson, a pediatrician in Mill Creek, Wash., who is also on staff at Seattle Children’s Hospital, said she was initially a big proponent of the MMRV vaccine but began counseling parents about the increased risk of febrile seizures as soon as the preliminary findings were made public and the ACIP changed its recommendation.
“I would say, ‘There’s a new report out that says seizures are twice as likely with this combination vaccine, but they’re still really rare,’ and every person chose to separate the vaccines,” said Swanson. “Parents thought it was worth an extra 20 seconds of discomfort if they could protect their kids from these diseases equally well with two shots and reduce the risk of seizures.”
“My job as a pediatrician is to help families decrease side effects and risks,” added Swanson, herself a parent of two young children. “One in 2,300 is nearly nil, but it’s not entirely nil. And nobody wants their child to be that one.”
Partly because of the findings of this larger study, the CDC last month released new recommendations for the MMRV vaccine, stating that all children with a personal or family history of seizures should get the separate MMR and varicella vaccines. The CDC also said that, although either the MMRV or the separate MMR and varicella vaccines may be used as the first dose for children aged 12 to 47 months, health care providers should give separate vaccines for the first dose “unless the parent or caregiver expresses a preference for MMRV vaccine.”

So many mother’s just take the dr’s word for everything. I’m a grandmother but if I had children now I would think twice about any of these vaccinations. The MMR I definitely would wait til much later possible 3-5 yrs old. You know what …I had measles, mumps and the chickenpox and I’m still here. I’m sick of the medical, profession tell us how we should take care of our children. Mandatory vaccinations are ridiculous. The only ones I agree with are TB and polio.All the others are just lining the pockets of the drug companies and dr. ANd I don’t believe any of the “studies” that have been done on how safe they are or the trials done for FDA approval. Slip someone some money and you can get anything “approved” in the US. I’ve tried to warn my son and daughter. My son thinks the doctors know everything. My daughter is a little more open. She does research and is more wary with the vaccination schedule. None of their children are in daycare etc. Ages are 9 mos and 3 yrs.

So let me understand this.
1 in 2300 is “nearly nil” (it’s not)
But 100 alleged problems out of 20 million doses of Zicam is enough to ban zinc gel.
We are officially living in the Twilight Zone.
Vaccines do not work – they are nothing more than pharmaceutical cash cows, accepted by a large proportion of people because the pharmaceutical industry/medical fraternity have scared the crap out of them without reasonable cause.
It’s all about the money – not about your health.
Wake up America!
“Even though there’s a doubling of the risk for the combination vaccine, the overall risk of seizure to any one child with any measles-containing vaccine is still less than one in 1,000 doses.”
NO, NO, NO!!!
The seizure is only a visible MARKER for TOTAL RISK; most of which remains INVISIBLE. An underlying problem, one of MANY problems with “vaccination” is that of ischemia, the lack of oxygen being delivered to cells in the brain, which can cause a seizure, as well as potentially every other cell in the body of the poor “vaccinated” person.
Doctor Andrew Moulden has the forensic evidence of this.
Doctor Andrew Moulden Exposes the Intrinsic Harm of “Vaccination”
ALL vaccines are and have been causing ischemic (impaired blood flow) damages – to all – creating a plethora of chronic illnesses, disease, and in some instances…death. The injury from vaccination is additive, each vaccination further injures.” Doctor Andrew Moulden MD, PhD
“The system is lost and we need to find it.” Doctor Andrew Moulden MD, PhD
Doctor Moulden presents the indisputable forensic medical evidence for how ALL vaccinations are inducing harmful brain and body damages EVERY time you “vaccinate”. The damages are being caused by an electrostatic as well as an immune induced hypersensitivity response that derails microscopic blood flow and fluid dynamics. We are seeing the exact same problems from infants to geriatrics. All vaccination produces micro strokes to the brain and elsewhere in your body. Most do not produce overt effects but ALL produce ischemia. Vaccinate enough and the harm becomes overt as in misaligned eyes or facial grimaces, can greatly harm as in autism or can kill as in SIDS.
Here is Doctor Mouldens Free Video. You MUST watch it. I have viewed it several times. Each time I come away astounded.
Our Healthcare system doesn’t want our children (and adults) to be healthy. The Pharmaceutical companies are making profits in the millions (with the help of private investors like Bill Gates) and lying about statistics and fooling people and the FDA approves everything. Doctors today are getting promotions from the Pharmaceuticals to push drugs and even Nurses are required to tell the parent that there children have to be vaccinated.
It’s a shame what our society has become because of greed.
They can all write that the risk is less than one in 1.000 doses but if it’s your child who is affected you might think differently.
The combination of the Hepatitis B vaccine and the HiB vaccine more than doubled the amount of mercury children. “If you take a ten-pound baby in, and it gets four shots on that one day, which is a common practice – that’s equivalent to giving a 100-pound person forty shots in one day,” said mercury expert Dr. Boyd Haley….Haley has testified before Congress and the Pentagon as one of the nation’s leading experts on Thimerosal and mercury poisoning. According to the vaccine schedule, children now receive 36 vaccines prior to going to kindergarten. Now they will add 4 additional vaccines to this total for a grandtotal of 40. And we’re not even getting warmed up.
“The CDC last month released new recommendations for the MMRV vaccine, stating that all children with a personal or family history of seizures should get the separate MMR and varicella vaccines.”
Well how about the CDC doing some work and testing these COMBO toxic injections PRIOR to shooting up our flesh and blood?
If an honest history of this insanity, organized at the highest political levels in our country, is ever written it will be hard to believe unless you have lived thru it.
“Our Healthcare system doesn’t want our children (and adults) to be healthy.”
Bingo, Bingo and Bingo!
I would only add that the people at the very top don’t want us breathing “their” air. “Vaccination” is a tool to accomplish this difficult task.
“One in 1,000 is nearly nil”
This goes to show how these people think. How about if I announce at a pediatrics conference of 10,000 that 10 pediatricians will be brought up on the stage and shot. Do you think this would change the mind set?
“A CDC study suggests that the resurgence of whooping cough is due to the vaccine causing an increased and more virulent toxin. The CDC acknowledges that whooping cough is recurring in highly vaccinated countries — and that it is not just because some children are unvaccinated, although that can be a factor.”
“Furthermore, we should be skeptical about the “outbreaks” that are reported to have occurred. Pertussis, or “whooping cough,” is actually rather difficult to diagnose conclusively, as it requires special cultures or antibody tests that many laboratories cannot perform and that many doctors, in the presence of suggestive symptoms, rarely take the trouble to order. Conversely, there are other cases of pertussis with typical signs and symptoms but negative cultures and no detectable antibodies. In other words, whooping cough as a clinical syndrome need not be associated with the organism Bordetella pertussis, against which the vaccine is prepared, or indeed with any microorganism whatsoever.” Doctor Richard Moskowitz, MD
In Oman between 1988 and 1989, a polio outbreak occurred amongst thousands of fully vaccinated children. The region with the highest attack rate had the highest vaccine coverage. The region with the lowest attack rate had the lowest vaccine coverage. The Lancet, 21/9/91, Note it is clear often “vaccination does not prevent disease and in fact makes disease worse
“Sweden stopped its whooping cough vaccination program in 1979 when it was discovered that 84 percent of the children who fell ill from the disease had been vaccinated against it three times. And a study published in 1994 in the New England Journal of Medicine noted that more than 80 percent of American children under five with whooping cough had been fully vaccinated.”
“In 1986 there were 1300 cases of pertussis in Kansas and 90 % of these cases occurred in children who had been adequately vaccinated. Similar vaccine failures have been reported from Nova Scotia where pertussis continues to be occurring despite universal vaccination. Pertussis remains endemic[4] in the Netherlands where for more than 20 years 96 % of children have received 3 pertussis shots by age 12 months.” Why-you-should-avoid-taking-vaccines
In 1977, Dr Jonas Salk, who developed the first polio vaccine, testified along with other scientists that mass inoculation against polio was the cause of most polio cases throughout the USA since 1961.” Science 4/4/77 Abstracts, Note here we see that if you have polio you have had the “polio vaccination”
In the UK between 1970 and 1990, over 200,000 cases of whooping cough occurred in fully vaccinated children.” Community Disease Surveillance Centre, UK
“In the New England Journal of Medicine July 1994 issue a study found that over 80% of children under 5 years of age who had contracted whooping cough had been fully vaccinated.”
If we look at the pertussis situation objectively a good case can be made for IMMEDIATELY ceasing “vaccinating” for pertussis. The facts on the ground show “vaccination” appears to spread pertussis.
“There are only a handful of deaths attributed to whooping cough in the United States each year, and most of those are infants––some of whom are too young to get the vaccine. So why is the CDC now pushing for every person to be immunized in infancy and then receive five more booster vaccinations as they advance into adulthood and old age? You have almost no chance of getting whooping cough as an infant, and you have even less chance as an adult.” Doctor William Douglass MD, Note Note MANY studies have shown this “vaccine” is near worthless at preventing the disease in the US and MANY countries have banned it. IMO what the CDC et al are doing is suppressing the immune systems of our helpless infants and the rest of us too pure and simple
Please note our kids are often getting SIX doses of the immune suppressing totally unnecessary Pertussis vaccination poison TODAY. If you love your children IMO STOP all “vaccinations” at least until this Political Pandemic is over. There is much puzzlement in the “Medical Industry” as to why young people are falling victim to this “Swine Flu” plague. Five doses of the immune system suppressing Pertussis and puzzlement; IMO someone needs to go to an honest medical school. Does anyone know where to find one?
Pertussis May have a Simple “Cure”
What is so pathetic about this whole episode is that IMO vitamin C in sufficient amounts, and vitamin D in sufficient amounts, looks to be all that is required to prevent or greatly alleviate pertussis. If we look at the pertussis “epidemics” globally we find that most occur in areas that receive little winter sun thus low vitamin D levels. We see the epidemiological correlation between pertussis and scurvy, a VERY low vitamin C level.
Figure 3 Measles and Figure 9 Pertussis appear to be “Cured” by Vitamin C
http://genesgreenbook.com/resources/obamsawin/ImmunizationGraphs-RO2009.pdf
We already know the “Seasonal Flu” and other viruses are “Cured” by high levels of vitamin D. We know much of atherosclerosis is “Cured” by high levels of vitamins C and E. Could it be most childhood “Diseases” can be “Cured” or strongly alleviated by adequate amounts of common vitamins and nutrition?
YES it could.
Why does the Food and Nutrition Board say you only need 90 mg of vitamin C a day? Why do they say you only need 200 IU of vitamin D a day and to stay the hell out of the sun? IMO get at least three grams of vitamin C/day and 1000 IU of vitamin D3/ 20 pounds of body weight/day OR LOTS of sun. Vociferously refuse all “vaccinations” and enjoy your health.
