I hate to say it but this took place in Kenya. They are not exactly known for their cleanliness when it comes to medicine.

It also states in the article that they dont know what caused the deaths.

Before we had widely available vaccines, thousands upon thousands died or were permanently disabled by small pox, measles, mumps, rubella, pertussis, tetanus, diphtheria, influenza, polio, etc., etc. …

Get OVER it, already … Join the modern world ...

Amazing how people can twist a story to justify their personal beliefs. Maybe the non believers need to see what these diseases look like and the damage that can be done. They aren't like the common cold. Parents lived in fear of their child contracting polio, chicken pox, hard measles. Tens of thousands got polio, and about every child born had the latter two. I still remember my sisters and I going through each one at the same time and mom trying to keep us clean and putting medication on us to ease the itching and get the healing started. If we got back to those epidemics there would be tens of millions more on the list.. like my dad always said , 'if you don't want to listen you may l just have to feel'. There are also consequences that can come to your child when not being vaccinated against these diseases.

Yes your right, we should abandon our entire vaccination program because there have been a few problems associated with them in a second world country. We don't know where the vaccine came from, how it was administered or the general health of the victims but obviously they would have been better off with out them....
