Rotavirus Vaccination Success


Another blow against the anti-vaccination crowd. A post on MedPage today, reviewed by Robert Jasmer MD, Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, quotes:

The vaccine has markedly reduced hospital and emergency room visits, medical costs, and the number of cases of disease caused by rotavirus…

…There’s also evidence that the vaccine, approved by the FDA in 2006, is creating a “herd immunity” that’s protecting even some children who haven’t been vaccinated.

However, all these silly results of these silly studies have been nullified by a poignant post by the good people over at AutismMercuryLink.com:

The Rotavirus vaccine, Hib vaccine, HPV vaccine and the various multi virus vaccines being introduced without any kind of testing is only because the vaccine manufacturers and the doctors administering them want to ensure a good income from them.

Interesting. It sure seems like they’re testing the vaccines.
