Whooping cough vaccine study for newborn babies

The Children's Research Centre and the Women's and Children's Hospital are seeking healthy newborn babies less than five days old to participate in a whooping cough vaccine trial.

Quote:

The aim of this study is to see if giving babies the whooping cough vaccine earlier than six weeks of age means that they have less risk of being infected than infants who follow the routine schedule.

"The aim of this study is to see if giving babies the whooping cough vaccine earlier than six weeks of age means that they have less risk of being infected than infants who follow the routine schedule."

Are they KIDDING?

The reason they don't give babies that vaccine that early is not because they don't think it's effective, but because they don't know that it would be SAFE.

So now they will test the effectiveness (but not the safey) of giving it before 6 weeks of age, compare efficacy with giving the same FAILED vaccine at 6 months, and compare safety to--what?  What vaccines do they give at 6 weeks of age?  Hep B?  Which has caused seizures, brain inflammation, and death?  Because they now have an established protocol of NOT testing against a real placebo, because it would be "unethical" to deny a child a vaccination.

So, like other new vaccines, they will claim that the rate of severe adverse effects is comparable to that of a placebo, without disclosing the fact that they don't USE placebos.

More lies, more profit.

I feel sorry for those poor guinea pig babies

The sad thing is, that there will be parents who will have their babies partake in this study. So for this study a single pertussis vaccine will be used?
