In another journal article, the following point was made: “Preliminary design, data collection, and analytic capability of the Vaccine Safety Datalink project has been validated by replication of previous known associations between seizures and DTP and MMR vaccines.”    

Let me repeat that: “replication of previous known associations between seizures and DTP and MMR vaccines”.

Quote:

The fact is, however, that we do not know the true incidence of vaccine adverse reactions, of whooping cough itself, of convulsions after whooping cough or many other relevant and critical factors, including the actual number of children receiving a vaccine once high-risk children have been removed.  We should simply admit it and set about trying to learn what we can.  We should not, however, be issuing reassuring assessments of vaccine risk.”

Given the number of cases of vaccination-induced brain damage that vaccination-induced seizures,which were admitted and compensated by the US Department of Health and Human Services, I think it's already a given that the huge increase in number of vaccinations playa a role in the huge increase of seizure disorders like epilepsy.

There is also the fact that several countries are now admitting and compensating cases of flu shot-induced narcolepsy (a form of seizure disorder).

There are several huge leaps you're making there, so I take issue with the characterization that it's a given.

CDC Says ‘Seizures Can Occur After Vaccination’

and tacitly admits 10% risk of epilepsy after having seizures from MMR vaccine

But don't worry - it's only a coincidence!

Childhood vaccines may trigger early onset of a severe form of infant epilepsy, but researchers say the disorder is ultimately caused by defective genes and lifesaving vaccines should not be withheld from these children.
