Merck's Pro-Quad Vax Causing Convulsions in Children

In absolute terms, nine of every 10,000 children receiving ProQuad suffered fever-related seizures, compared with four in 10,000 children in the dual vaccine group.

Children undergoing seizures did not appear to suffer any lasting effects, and there were no recorded deaths.

A similar study conducted by Merck also found a doubling of seizure risk within five to 12 days of vaccination with ProQuad, but said that the difference in seizure rates vanished in a 30-day time period. The absolute seizure rate from ProQuad was lower in the Merck-funded study, at five convulsions per 10,000 children vaccinated.
What??? A vacc company funded study somehow lowers the convulsions and seizures rate from 9 out of 10000 to 5 out of 10000... no possibility of bias affecting study outcome there.... : I so dislike Merck. sigh.

Ditto that...

Merck is pure evil and so is their a$$-kissing chief proselytizer, Dr. "Profit," err.. I mean Dr. Offitt.
