PROFESSOR OF CELL BIOLOGY

INVESTIGATES HEP B VACCINE DAMAGE

Professor Bonnie Dunbar, Ph.D., who has a distinguished 25 year career in academic and laboratory science and has been honored by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) for her pioneering work in contraceptive vaccine development, has been collecting data on hepatitis B vaccine for the past three years. She began investigating hepatitis B vaccine adverse reactions after her brother as well as a research assistant in her laboratory developed autoimmune and neurological dysfunction following hepatitis B vaccinations.

Describing what happened to her brother and her research assistant, Dr. Dunbar said "Three years ago my brother, who is a geologist Ph.D. agronomist with four college degrees, came to work with me at Baylor College of Medicine to work on a collaborative project in molecular genetic engineering of wheat proteins. He was required to take the hepatitis B vaccine. Within 24 hours to four days after the first injection, he had fever and severe fatigue for one week. Two to four weeks after that injection, he ended up with a whole series of symptoms that 15 doctors have said are clearly symptoms of an adverse reaction to this vaccination. Even workman’s compensation for the state of Texas is compensating him for over $300,000 worth of medical expenses."

"At about the same time, a 21-year old girl, a medical student, came to work in my lab for the summer. She, too, had to get the hepatitis B vaccine. After the first injection, she had fever and fatigue. Three weeks following her second injection, she lost vision in one eye but, after 6 months, regained most of her sight. She was reluctant to get the third dose of vaccine, and talked with her doctor and he told her this [hepatitis B] vaccine is the safest, there’s no problem. After the third injection, she ended up in the hospital for two months extremely ill and she has lost all of her eyesight in one eye."

During the course of her research, Dr. Dunbar has been contacted by hundreds of doctors and patients around the world who have reported severe autoimmune and neurological complications to hepatitis B vaccination in previously healthy children and adults, including serious rashes, fever, joint pain, chronic fatigue, multiple sclerosis and lupus-like symptoms, rheumatoid arthritis and neurological dysfunction.

As a basic science researcher with expertise in cell and molecular biology, she is investigating the possibility that molecular mimicry or other autoimmune mechanisms may be the reason why the genetically engineered hepatitis B vaccine "tricks" the immune systems of genetically susceptible individuals into attacking their own bodies, causing debilitating autoimmune disorders.

After analyzing the data she has accumulated, Dr. Dunbar, in collaboration with colleagues at other academic and medical institutions, applied for a NIH grant to investigate the role that genetic factors may play in hepatitis B vaccine reactions and in vaccine failures. The grant was turned down twice by the government in 1997 and 1998 and Dr. Dunbar and her colleagues are seeking independent funding of their research so they can identify genetic markers so high risk children and adults could be screened out of the mass vaccination program and spared injury and death.
