Vaccines combine with herpes virus to form new lethal strain

Australian scientists have found that two different vaccines used to control an infectious disease in chickens can recombine to create new lethal virus strains.

The research, to be published today in the journal Science, has prompted authorities to review vaccine use in animals.

But the scientists, from the University of Melbourne, say the findings are not only important for vaccines in chickens, but also for any vaccine which might be able to multiply - including those used in humans.

Scientist just found out about this in chicken. When will they find it has happened in humans already and admit it!

"Chicken respiratory virus ILT can lead to birds dying in a pool of bloody mucus, but vaccines that were meant to protect them have instead led to their deaths."

and

"These new strains were formed by recombination from the different vaccine strains and that they were actually more virulent than the vaccine strains that gave rise to them,"

This reminds me of the polio vaccine debacle in India. Thank goodness for chicken vaccines to show us the truth! We can learn so much from animal studies. How do live virus vaccines combine in humans? Is there a risk of recombination, and where are the studies that prove safety in this area? If you do vaccinate, you should be at the front of the line demanding to see proof of safety. This issue should concern you, since you use vaccines. There is so much more to learn about the science of vaccines. This is only the beginning.
