110,000 doses of vaccine quarantined after 3 baby deaths in two weeks.

AMSTERDAM - Dutch authorities say they have banned use of a batch of Pfizer's Prevenar, or Prevnar, after three infants died within two weeks of receiving the anti-infection vaccination.

"On average about 5 to 10 deaths are reported annually after babies get vaccines," said a spokeswoman for the Dutch health institute RIVM.

"We now have three cases in a short period, that is unusual and the reason for suspending the batch."

She said RIVM was investigating the cause of the infants' deaths. Other batches of Prevenar, known as Prevnar in the United States, will continue to be used.

Pfizer spokeswoman Gwen Fisher said preliminary investigations by the company and health authorities had found no link between the vaccinations and the deaths.

She said the company initiated the "quarantine" of the batch which she said contained 110,000 doses of Prevenar, used to prevent pneumonia and related infections.

Fisher said the three infants also received two unrelated other vaccines as part of routine immunizations.

No other Prevenar batches were suspended and infants in the Netherlands will continue to be vaccinated with it as part of routine immunization, she added.

A spokesman for the European Medicines Agency in London said its officials were working with the Dutch authorities to find out if there were any safety issues with the vaccine batch.

The vaccine is one of the most widely used in the world and generated sales for U.S. drugmaker Wyeth of $2.7 billion in 2008.

Wyeth, which has just been acquired by U.S. rival Pfizer, had asked for the suspension of batch D66977 of Prevenar, RIVM said in a statement.

Officials at Pfizer in New York could not immediately be reached for comment.

  • their killing your babies wake up

  • i cant believe vaccines are legal. drugs and alcohol is so much less dangerous than this. i've heard limitless stories of people sent to the ER because of vaccine shots.

  • HOW EVIL someone has to be to murder kids like this?! Beautiful, little, innocent beings! I WONDER HOW CAN YOU SLEEP ROCCAFELLA?!

  • the problem is that i do not have those links wheni look at your video they are not in the box with the rest of what you wrote thats all, i cant with my own eyes look at it

  • So they are so careless, that they have these 'accidents' and a percentage of children will die even a tiny percent. To those parents this is a family destroyed. People must learn to stop trusting the medical establishment. It is merely eugenics. We don't know what the lasting effects on the survivors is going to be - autism, cancer, asthma, diabetes, rheumatism etc. or will they sudden die aged 20 for unknown reasons.

  • The horrible thing is these Pharma bastards have immunity from negligent murder.

  • Vaccines are archaic torture money machines...nothing more !
