TORONTO, Sept. 20 PRNewswire - The US Centers for
Disease Control (CDC) yesterday presented data at the Interscience Conference on
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) that supports data presented earlier by Dr.
Bart Classen, an immunologist at Classen Immunotherapies, proving vaccines cause insulin
dependent diabetes.
Earlier this month, Dr. Bart Classen presented data at the
International Public Conference on Vaccination which proved vaccines are the largest cause
of insulin dependent diabetes in children. This data included data from a prospective
randomized clinical trial in Finland showing vaccinated groups had a statistically
significant, 17%, increased risk of
diabetes after 10 years follow up. Further analysis of people receiving newer, more
potent, hemophilus vaccine indicated that these hemophilus vaccines increased the risk of
diabetes by about 25%. The CDC's study indicated that 247 of 260 diabetics received
the hemophilus vaccine compared to 733 of 780 controls. This indicates the
hemophilus vaccines associated with an odds ratio of 1.22 or an approximately 22%
increased risk of diabetes, almost identical to what Classen found.
Dr. Classen has published both animal and human data with
several different vaccines that immunization starting in the first month of life was
associated with an decreased risk of diabetes while immunization starting after the second
month of life is associated with an increased risk of diabetes. Classen has
published data from both New Zealand and Italy that
the Hepatitis B vaccine, when given after 2 months of life, is associated with an
approximately 50% increased risk of diabetes. The CDC only published part of their
data on the hepatitis B vaccine. The CDC found the hepatitis B vaccine was
associated with an overall decreased risk of diabetes (relative risk 0.92) which is
consistent with an large per cent of
those vaccinated receiving the vaccine at birth. The CDC however found that those
immunized starting after 2 months of life were at a 60% increased risk of developing
diabetes than those immunized starting in the first month of life (.88/.52). The
CDC's hepatitis B vaccine data is thus also consistent with Classen's finding.
The CDC's study and analysis suffered from some obvious
limitations and flaws. The CDC studied only 260 diabetics and 780 controls while Dr.
Classen's studies typically have involved 100,000 people or more. The CDC's study
did not compensate for the interaction between the two different vaccines since people
received both the hepatitis B vaccine and the hemophilus vaccine while Classen studied
these vaccines separately. The CDC study was also limited because over 94% of
controls were vaccinated with the hemophilus vaccine while Classen performed studies where
almost none of the
controls were vaccinated. The net effect is the CDC's study did not have the power
of Classen's studies. More importantly the CDC's analysis was flawed because the
results were altered, after they were calculated, to compensate for a family history of
diabetes. This practice that is considered unorthodox in part because the CDC has
many different "fudge"
factors by which it can manipulate the results. Last year the CDC presented data
from the same data HMO data source but manipulated their results using a different
variable to compensate for breast feeding. In 1997 the CDC also presented an
analysis on the hepatitis B vaccine, also from the same HMO data source, but did not use
either "fudge" factor. In this study the hepatitis B vaccine, when given
after 8 weeks of life, was associated with a 90% increased risk of diabetes. The fact that
the CDC manipulates similar data in different years using different "fudge"
factors has raised suspicion that their analysis is severely flawed and their
interpretations of the data should be viewed with caution.
Dr. Bart Classen presented data at the International Public
Conference on Vaccination on September 10 that vaccines cause approximately 80% of cases
of insulin dependent diabetes in children who have received multiple vaccines starting
after 2 months of life. Children receive 10 or more vaccines and many of these are
associated with an increased risk of
diabetes. Classen's data and other published data indicates the following vaccines
are associated with an increased risk of diabetes (increased risk): hepatitis B (50%),
hemophilus (25%), tetanus (20%), diphtheria (9%), pertussis (25%), mumps- rubella (23%).
These findings are supported by a case control study performed in Europe. The
cumulative effect of all these vaccines on diabetes is tremendous. Highly immunized
sailors in the US navy have been found to develop insulin dependent diabetes at a rate of
5.5 times that of controls even though their rate of diabetes on entering the navy was
equal to that of controls.
The US and other governments provide compensation for
vaccine induced injuries however there is a statute of limitations. Insulin
dependent diabetes cost the patient about $1 million over their lifetime. Many
diabetics have contacted Dr. Classen about receiving compensation from the US government.
