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.Read the rest here.
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.

Yes i would also tell any parent to do their homework first, Drs dont know everything!
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.
