Michael Belkin Testimony to Congress
Page 5A second area of concern is the VAERS reports involving hepatitis
B vaccine administered with other vaccines (vaccine cocktails). Health officials are fond
of dismissing those repeals as being attributable to hepatitis B vaccine, because of the
multiple other antigens present (almost as if they wanted to cloak hepatitis B vaccine
reactions from scrutiny). Let's avoid that controversy and focus on the extremely
disturbing VAERS data of hepatitis B vaccine with other vaccines. These reports amount to
only one third of total reports (7,275), but account for two thirds of total deaths (291).
The median onset of those deaths was 2 days after vaccination -- displaying a clear
temporal association. The median age of death was 0.5 years in this group. 50% of all
hepatitis-B-vaccine-cocktail reports were serious (died, emergency room, hospitalized,
disabled). I grouped convulsive reactions together from the
hep-B-vaccine-cocktail data and found a deeply disturbing pattern. These were anything
labeled convulsions, seizures or tremors in the VAERS hep-B-cocktail data. Of the 1189
such reports, fully 80% (950) were serious (died, ER, hospitalized, disabled) median age
0.5 years, median onset after vaccination 0 days (less than one day). Someone should do
follow-up and find out what happened to those poor infants who suffered severe convulsions
after a hepatitis B-multi-vaccine cocktail. In the personal reports I've taken of similar
adverse reactions, the children were left brain damaged and developmentally disabled.
Looking beyond the debate over whether VAERS reports of vaccine cocktails can be
attributed to hepatitis B, the data strongly suggests combining multiple
vaccines may be convenient and profitable for pediatricians -- but fatal or debilitating
for infants. Where are the scientific studies showing hepatitis B vaccine is
safe to administer with DPT, HIB, IPV, OPV, etc.? Did anyone doing cost/benefit analysis
for those studies include data showing the higher mortality and serious reactions present
in the VAERS data? Why not? Is there an identifiable genetic marker in those who suffered
convulsive reactions to screen out those vulnerable in the future? These are all matters
for independent scientists to audit.
Another area that leaps out of the VAERS database is something I dubbed
arthritic reactions. These are joint pains, tingling, numbness,
aching, fatigue, etc. I found 2,400 of those reports in just a quick survey of the first
reporting column of VAERS (hepatitis B vaccine only). Almost one half of those are
serious, involving an ER visit, hospitalization, death or disablement. These are the type
of adverse reactions reported by many adults who are forced to take the hepatitis B
vaccine for their jobs. In the reports of such adverse reactions I've taken, the symptoms
do not go away, most patients complain it gets worse over time. Scientists not corrupted
by drug company or CDC/FDA institutional bias should examine the thousands of VAERS
hepatitis B arthritic reaction reports and develop a diagnosis of their hepatitis B
vaccine-related illness.
Anyone who doubts if hepatitis B vaccine adverse reactions exist should
sit down and read the symptoms and text comments of a random selection of VAERS reports.
When one does so, they will find a similar but wide-ranging list of CNS and liver
reactions that occur within days of vaccination. The Merck package insert claims "Injection
site reactions and systemic complaints were reported following 17% and 15% on the
injections, respectively." The standard rule of thumb is only about 10%
of reactions are reported to VAERS. So the actual number and full horror of the hepatitis
B vaccine reaction story is potentially much larger than even VAERS suggests.
