Injecting children with multiple vaccines at once is dangerous, says renowned medical journal in groundbreaking study

(NaturalNews) It's a scene that is familiar to many parents: You bring your baby in for a check-up, and the doctor informs you that your 6-month-old is due for "some shots." After some prodding, he reveals that your baby actually needs a combination of eight different vaccines. He assures you that this is normal practice and nothing to worry about. You brace yourself for the inevitable crying that will accompany the needle's jab, and then you go home and forget the whole thing ever happened ... until the next check-up.

However, for some parents, the injection and crying are only the beginning of the nightmare. Half a million adverse events have been reported in association with vaccines in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which is run by the FDA and the CDC.

That statistic is pretty shocking, but the fact that 5.4 percent of these reactions in children getting five or more vaccines concurrently were fatal is completely unforgivable. Now, medical research journalist Neil Z. Miller is warning parents that the practice of administering multiple vaccines in one visit is unsafe and can even be deadly.

Miller states that the CDC recommends that infants receive the polio, diphtheria, hepatitis B, rotavirus, pneumococcal, tetanus, Haemophilus influenza Type B and pertussis vaccines at 2, 4 and 6 months of age, despite the fact that such a combination has never been tested for safety in clinical trials.

Infants who receive multiple vaccines more likely to die

After examining data regarding the percentage of reported reactions involving hospitalization or death as it relates to the number of vaccines the child received as well as their age, he noted:

"Our study showed that infants who receive several vaccines concurrently...are significantly more likely to be hospitalized or die when compared with infants who receive fewer vaccines simultaneously.

"It also showed that reported adverse effects were more likely to lead to hospitalization or death in younger infants."

While 5.4 percent of reactions were fatal in those infants who received five or more vaccines at once, the figure fell to 3.6 percent for those receiving four or fewer. This rate is still unacceptably high, but the difference does illustrate how receiving more vaccines is a lot riskier.

Miller's findings were published in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons. He was also part of a 2012 study that compiled data from VAERS which revealed a positive correlation between the number of vaccine doses administered and the percentage of hospitalizations and deaths.

Real vaccine damage figures could be much higher

Even worse, experts have suggested that vaccine reactions are vastly under-reported, with former FDA commissioner David Kessler saying that ''only about one percent of serious events [adverse drug reactions] are reported." This means that the actual number of deaths from multiple vaccine doses could be a lot higher than reported rates. How can this practice be allowed to continue?

Crystal Downing is one mother who knows all too well just how dangerous multiple vaccine doses can be. Her infant son died just one day after receiving eight vaccinations at once. The doctors tried to blame it on SIDS, but she noticed him acting strangely almost immediately after getting the shots.

She wants other parents to be aware of the dangers. "My son was injected with 8 vaccines, if you don't know what is in them, learn! When I did, I was shocked and mad at myself for not questioning this before," she said.

It can be pretty difficult to convince some people of the dangers of vaccines, and many parents rightfully want their children to be protected from the illnesses many of these vaccines are designed for. The best move that parents who still wish to vaccinate their children can make is to insist that only single doses are given, and that they be spaced out far enough to ensure that a cumulative effect does not occur.
