Indian Health Experts Question The Universal Immunization Program





By Catherine J. Frompovich


The implementation of a pentavalent (5 actives in one vaccine) into the Indian health system has caused great concern, especially since “Every few days one more child dies after receiving the pentavalent vaccine… Yet as these deaths mount, it has been announced that pentavalent vaccine is to be introduced in 3 more states…” [1]


The five-in-one vaccine contains actives for diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, hepatitis B, and Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib).  It seems that the hepatitis B active is questioned as not being protective of infections in babies.  How interesting!  As a result, parents are refusing to have their children vaccinated, while vaccination rates have fallen off dramatically—25 percent in the last four years.



Ten Indian health experts, Dr Amitav Banerjee, Dr Arun Gupta, Dr BM Hegde, Dr JP Dadhich, Dr Jacob Puliyel, Dr KP Kushwaha, Dr Ritu Priya, Dr SK Mittal, Dr S Srinivasan and Dr Vikas Bajpai, wrote a letter to the Indian PMO (Property Management Officer) [2] wherein they stated that


The study conducted by the Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow, and the National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad and two editorials in the journal (Indian Paediatrics) raised several questions regarding the universal immunization programme (UIP) itself. Dr T Jacob John in his editorial noted that the frequency of chronic infection was similar in both the unvaccinated and the vaccinated – about 0.15%. The Hepatitis B vaccine was thus completely useless in this population. Professor Jacob John further observed that the immunological and epidemiological outcomes of rolling out Hib are not being monitored as UIP has no capacity for that function. [CJF emphasis]


And concluded with:


In short, expensive vaccines that have little utility are being rolled out without monitoring benefits or harms and which are causing deaths and serious adverse effects. As a result, inspite of official attempts at denial, the public are losing trust in the entire immunization programme. [CJF emphasis]


Those ten health experts expressed concern and questioned what many other health professionals globally ask about:  Transparency within the organization in India that gives the green light for vaccine use in India.  India, I offer, is neither unique nor alone regarding the transparency issue.  From my research into vaccines and its politics for decades, every country relies upon the U.S. CDC/FDA pseudoscience regarding vaccines and that has to stop, especially when so much scientific fraud regarding vaccines not producing autism or other adverse health effects are trashed, minimized, or withheld deliberately from health agencies and the public.  That, in my opinion, is unmitigated FRAUD!
