The improved measles vaccine rolled out in Africa in 1989 was found to double mortality from other diseases in girls. The diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccine (DTP) was found to have the same disastrous effect, doubling mortality among children under the age of 5, and girls were again more likely to die.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Inactivated (non-live) vaccines \u2014 the DTP, pentavalent vaccine, inactivated polio vaccine, H1N1 influenza vaccine and the hepatitis B vaccine \u2014 all increased all-cause mortality, especially among girls, even when they offered a high degree of protection against the target disease.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
GlaxoSmithKline\u2019s antimalarial vaccine Mosquirix, which appears to offer 18% to 36.3% protection against malaria depending on the age group, was found to increase all-cause mortality by 24%.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
In Phase 3 trials, Mosquirix increased the risk of meningitis 10fold, as well as the risk for cerebral malaria, and doubled female all-cause mortality.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
According to bioethicists, the World Health Organization\u2019s malaria vaccine study breaches international ethical standards as they are testing vaccine safety in clinical trials without first obtaining informed consent from parents of child participants in Malawi, Ghana and Kenya.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
