How many of the deaths due to cirrhosis are caused either by alcoholism alone or combined with Hepatitis B?  And they have only been shown to be safe for infants and children because the evidence of their harm is being ignored.  Ordinarily deaths within hours of a drug would be considered the most likely culprit, but in the case of vaccines, such deaths are automatically rejected as being related to vaccination.   - SM

Hepatitis B - Fact Sheet

• Hepatitis B is a serious disease, responsible for an estimated 4000 to 5000 deaths each year in the United States due to cirrhosis and liver cancer.
• Hepatitis B vaccine prevents hepatitis B disease and its serious consequences. Therefore, this is the first anti-cancer vaccine.
• Use of hepatitis B vaccine and other vaccines is strongly endorsed by the medical, scientific and public health communities as a safe and effective way to prevent disease and death.
• Hepatitis B vaccines have been shown to be very safe when given to infants, children and adults.
• There is no confirmed evidence that indicates that hepatitis B vaccine can cause chronic illnesses.
• Case reports of unusual illnesses following vaccines are most often related to other causes and not related to a vaccine. Whenever large number of vaccines are given, some adverse events will occur coincidentally after vaccination and be falsely attributed to the vaccine.
• To assure a high standard of safety with vaccines, several federal agencies continually assess and research possible or potential health effects that could be associated with vaccines.
• Anyone believing they have had a possible reaction or adverse health effect from a vaccine should report it to their health care provider. The Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (1-800-822-7967) receives reports from health care providers and others about vaccine side effects.
