Did you know the DTP vaccine (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis) was once the world’s most widely used vaccine, but was banned in many countries due to its link to severe brain injuries and deaths in 1 in 300 children?
Although it's still given to millions of African children annually, recent studies in Africa revealed a disturbing truth: girls vaccinated with DTP were dying at 10x the rate of unvaccinated girls—not from diphtheria, tetanus, or pertussis, but from diseases like malaria, pneumonia, and anaemia.
The vaccine seemed to protect against the three targeted diseases yet compromised girls' immune systems, leaving them vulnerable to other common infections.
This raises a critical question: why aren’t we doing long-term studies to fully understand the long-term impact of vaccines? 🤔
