Certain hard-to-treat bacterial infections in children are on the rise because of the widespread use of antibiotics and the conjugated pneumococcal vaccines, including Prevnar
A report by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) revealed that the presence of certain types of bacteria in cases of upper respiratory tract infections has “markedly increased” since the widespread use of pneumonia vaccines
Pneumonia bacterial strains may change one DNA letter about every 15 weeks, a rate of mutation similar to that of the common antibiotic-resistant superbug MRSA
The overuse of antibiotics for ear and sinus infections has also caused these pneumonia bacteria serotypes to become resistant to antibiotics
Overall, your best defense against any disease is having a robust healthy immune system
There are real and worrying issues for both the safety and the efficacy of vaccinations, especially given the ever increasing doses of vaccines now imposed upon babies and children.
There are also increasingly concerning societal problems with drug resistant super bugs and viruses. The same way that the overuse of antibiotics is creating resistant strains of bacteria, the overuse of vaccinations is creating vaccine resistant viruses.
