Are we vaccinating our children to death? Countries that have the most vaccinations – such as the US, Italy, Greece and the UK – also have the highest infant death rates, a new study has discovered.
The United States has the most intensive programme with 26 vaccines that a child is supposed to have in its first year – and it also has the worst mortality level, with six out of every thousand infants dying.
Conversely, Sweden and Japan administer the fewest vaccines – there are just 12 in their programmes – and they have the lowest death rates with just 3 deaths per 1000.
Researchers Neil Miller and Gary Goldman also suspect that sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) could also be the result of over-vaccination.
The researchers researched the vaccine programmes and infant mortality rates of 34 developed countries.
The UK, which has 19 vaccines in its programme, came 25th with 4.85 deaths per thousand.
