Vaccine Companies Investigated for Manslaughter

Maybe its time parents take a closer look at the Hepatitis B vaccine. Any vaccine for that matter. Its not a good idea to trust everything your doctor tells you. Do your homework before you make that choice to inject your newborn. Learn and understand fully the good, the bad and the ugly of vaccinations. Then you can decide with confidence.

A formal investigation has been launched by French authorities against two managers from drug companies GlaxoSmithKline and Sanofi Pasteur. A second investigation for manslaughter has also been opened against Sanofi Pasteur MSD.

The investigations are in response to allegations that the companies failed to fully disclose side effects from an anti-hepatitis B drug used between 1994 and 1998.

During this time, close to two-thirds of the French population, and almost all newborn babies, received a hepatitis B vaccine. The vaccination campaign was halted after concerns rose over the shot’s side effects.

Thirty plaintiffs, including the families of five people who died after the vaccination, have launched a civil action in the case against the drug companies.

The logic behind the 'why not to' vaccinate against hepatitis B is so ... so...logical? I don't understand why some people just blindly do as they are told. Nope, you are right, docs don't know everything. Interesting post.
