[2015 Oct] INDIAN COURT TOLD RELEASING VACCINE DATA WOULD ALARM PUBLIC! An Indian Rotavirus vaccine has been trialled in India. The results showed that the vaccine has a very high rate of intestinal telescoping (intussusception) which is much higher than the Rota vaccine that got banned internationally. What was more alarming was the trial data from a Medical College in Vellore, India, showing that the vaccine was causing 70 times more such adverse events than the currently licensed vaccine in India!

[2015 Feb] Paul Offit and Rotavirus Vaccine: Deaths on VAERS By John Stone In the developed world rotavirus infection does not seem to be associated with mortality: this is not quite so with rotavirus vaccines, including Merck's RotaTeq vaccine in which Professor Offit had a share.....Reports on VAERS (9 February 2015) for the Offit/Merck Rotateq vaccine introduced in 2006 list 1,068 cases of intussusception with 10 accompanying deaths (1 in 107) while Rotarix (introduced in 2008?) has 553 cases of intussusception and 11 deaths (a very disturbing rate of 1 in 50).
[2011 June] GlaxoSmithKline Schemes with GAVI to Offer Rotavirus Vaccine at Reduced Costs to Third World By Christina England All very noble of them considering that Rotarix vaccine was suspended around the world last year because it contained the DNA from pigs in it. What GlaxoSmithKline are actually offering, are vaccines at a reduced price to the third world because the take up has been so low in the Western world due to reduced confidence in the vaccine.....What these people need from the governments around the world is massive injections of cash, better education and nutrition, not left over vaccines that the Western world have lost confidence in. This is no goodwill gesture but merely a cheap publicity stunt to make GlaxoSmithKline look altruistic.
