With 3.9 million US births in 1996, the observed incidence of Hepatitis B was therefore an infinitesimal 0.001 percent for babies less than 1 year old, according to the CDC's own data. Newborns are not mentioned in the risk groups on the CDC Hepatitis B fact sheet. The day of the autopsy, the coroner told me that Lyla's brain was swollen. That is a classic adverse reaction to vaccination, which can lead to death or permanent neurological damage. Although the Hepatitis B vaccine is government-mandated at birth, it was tested in very few newborns.
Newborns have under-developed immune systems, which are weaker than the adult immune system.
The independent National Vaccine Information Center in Vienna, Virginia receives new reports every week of deaths, seizures and other auto-immune and brain dysfunctions following Hepatitis B vaccination. In response to the scientific community's concern over reports on Hepatitis B vaccine-related infant deaths, the National Academy of Science held a workshop last fall. But that may only be part of the story. Upon closer examination of government data, I found 54 reported SIDS cases after Hepatitis B vaccination in an 17-month period from January 1996 to May 1997. Furthermore, an analysis by the NVIC of the government's raw data for 1990-98 shows more than 17,000 reports of adverse reactions to this vaccine.
