Vaccines have eradicated epidemics. Wrong, although vaccine manufacturers like to claim this. For example, parents are currently being pressurised into having their children vaccinated against meningitis. The first vaccine for this was introduced in 1985 but soon began to lose credibility after doctors reported that cases of meningitis were showing up in children straight after they were vaccinated. One Minnesota study showed that the shot increased the risk fivefold of contracting the disease. Many new vaccines later, and many reports since, have linked the meningitis (Hib) jab with the incidence of meningitis. One study published in JAMA in 1993 conceded that non-vaccinated infants didn't get the disease at any higher rates than vaccinated children. More recently, according to a Public Health Laboratory Service press statement issued during October 1999, the new vaccine doesn't work either.
