DNA of Pig Viruses Found in Merck Vaccine
 |
An FDA vaccine-advisory panel had already scheduled a meeting for Friday to discuss GlaxoSmithKline PLC’s Rotarix vaccine. Both the Glaxo and Merck vaccines are designed to protect infants from a gastrointestinal illness caused by rotavirus and have been given to millions of babies. Rotavirus is rarely fatal in the U.S.
A Food and Drug Administration panel said Friday fragments of pig viruses found in vaccines used to protect infants against rotavirus didn’t appear to cause health risks. While the panel didn’t take a vote on the products, several members of the agency’s vaccine panel said the vaccines — Merck & Co.’s (MRK) Rotateq and GlaxoSmithKline PLC’s (GSK, GSK.LN) Rotarix — should remain on the U.S. market while additional studies are conducted about the impact of pig viruses.
In the meantime, the panel said parents who are considering whether to vaccinate their infants need to be informed about the findings.
Editor’s comment:
The American public is finally waking up to the dangers of vaccines. More parents are refusing to endanger their children by injecting them with vaccine toxins. Now the FDA tells us not to worry about Pig viruses in both of the rotovirus vaccines. How fast do these incompetent FDA and CDC regulators forget the damage done by the SV40 Monkey virus which contaminated the Polio Vaccine.
