In the package insert for Tripedia, a DTaP vaccination, autism is listed under possible adverse events. This is a breakthrough, in my opinion; while all the vaccine manufacturers keep touting the safety of vaccines and “there is no link”, the Sanofi Pasteur Pharmaceuticals has listed the real consequences. All symptoms for autism are listed as side effects for the other DTaP manufacturers, on their respective inserts, but this is without blatantly listing the word. Here is the link to the FDA website, where the package insert is listed. Simply type “autism” into the “Find” or go to page 11, towards the top of the page. You will also find “SIDS” as a listed adverse event, as well.
Would you be more or less likely to choose Tripedia over the other (sole) DTaP vaccines for your child (Daptacel by Sanofi Pasteur or Infanrix by GlaxoSmithKline)? Or would you choose a vaccine with even more vaccine strains? TriHiBit by Sanofi Pasteur which includes Hib, or Pediarix by GlaxoSmithKline which includes HepB and Polio, or Pentacel by Sanofi Pasteur which includes Hib, HepB, and Polio?
It also says that at least 1 child died of motor vehicle accident, but I don’t think that the vaccination caused that. This paragraph is reporting every thing adverse, or negative, health issue that occurred after receiving the vaccine. The important part of that paragraph is this, “Events were included in this list because of the seriousness or frequency of reporting. Because these events are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequencies or to establish a causal relationship to components of Tripedia vaccine.” In other words, not everything listed here was a result of the vaccine but we are including it anyway because it happened to someone that received the vaccine and was in our study.
