Relatively common adverse effects of immunization include high fever and fits. Other symptoms and death have also been linked to vaccinations. Often the symptoms are milder versions of the disease against which the vaccine is administered

Overdoses of vaccines against the following diseases can cause medical complications: BCG, typhoid, paratyphoid, cholera, plague, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, smallpox, rabies, typhus, yellow fever, measles, poliomyelitis, and various viruses

Research reported in 1994 into adverse reactions to MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) and DPT (diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus) vaccinations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Atlanta, USA) has identified 34 major side effects, including asthma, blood disorders, infectious diseases, diabetes and neurological disorders (polio, meningitis, hearing loss and others). There have also been reports of cot deaths linked to the DPT shot and asthma, allergies and arthritis to the rubella injection. Reactions to DPT vaccination were immediate whilst the worst reactions to the MMR vaccine came between eight days and two weeks after the injection. The most significant finding was the increase in the rate of seizures, which rose to three times above the national norm within the first day of a child receiving either a DPT or MMR injection

The measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine can cause a rare bleeding disorder called idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). The reaction, caused by the destruction of the platelets that help blood clot, seems to occur most often within the first 2 or 3 weeks of receipt of the vaccine. The resulting thrombocytopenia is described as transient and benign. In the UK, the absolute risk (of hospitalization for ITP) within six weeks of immunization was assessed as 1 in 22,300 doses. It is noted that ITP can also occur in children following a viral infection, such as measles, rubella or mumps. For instance, one case of ITP occurs for about every 3000 rubella infections

In 2001, The US Food and Drug Administration were investigating more than 100 people whose arthritis or joint pain (symptoms of Lyme Disease) were possibly linked to their vaccination against the Lyme disease

1. Immunizations disrupt the cellular balance and cause serious long-term disorders which usually take years to manifest. The price to be paid for the systematic practice of repeated vaccinal inoculations has not been fully assessed yet. Vaccination is the triggering factor in most of the diseases that affect the rich countries of the world today: degenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, multiple sclerosis,

2. Unless the effectiveness of vaccination is proved quickly we may create new generations of children with suppressed immune systems who fail to pass on natural immunity to their own children

Almost every side effect of vaccines would be caused by the disease, if contracted. The risks are generally of the order of thousands or millions, and immunization of any person reduces the overall social risk
