Hemophilus Meningitis Vaccine Study Indicates Vaccine Likely to Cause 
Diabetes 
 

BALTIMORE, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- 
This week's British Medical Journal 
(BMJ 1999;319:1133) published data by Dr. J. Bart Classen, an 
immunologist at 
Classen Immunotherapies, supporting a causal relationship between the 
hemophilus vaccine and the development of insulin dependent diabetes. 
The data is particularly disturbing because it indicates the potential 
risks of the vaccine exceeds the potential benefit.  The findings are 
expected 
to allow many diabetics to receive compensation for their injuries and 
lead to 
safer immunization.  A second publication by Classen appearing this 
month in 
Diabetes Care (Diabetes Care 22 (10): 1760, 1999) supports Classen's 
work that vaccines given starting in the first month of life have the 
opposite 
effect and may prevent diabetes. 
    The BMJ study looked at the rate of diabetes in children receiving 
4 or 1 dose of a weak, early generation, hemophilus vaccine and 
compared this 
to the rate in children who received no vaccine. The children were 
followed 
for 10 years.  In the group receiving 4 doses of vaccine the rate of 
diabetes 
waselevated by 26% after 7 years compared to children receiving 0 
doses. 
There were an extra 58 cases of diabetes per 100,000 children 
immunized in 
the group receiving 4 doses of vaccine compared to children receiving 
0 doPOST http://geocities.yahoo.com/filemanager/upload HTTP/1.0ses. 
This is equivalent to 2,300 cases of diabetes a year in the US which 
has an 
annual birth rate of about 4 million children.  However, even more 
cases of 
diabetes are expected with newer hemophilus vaccines which are in use 
today. 
By contrast immunization against hemophilus is expected to prevent 7 
deaths and 7 to 26 cases of severe disability per 100,000 children 
immunized in 
Finland. 
    The news is not all bad for the vaccine field.  Several studies 
have indicated that starting immunization in the first month of life 
may 
have the opposite effect and may actually prevent diabetes.  Classen's 
work 
published in this month's Diabetes Care explains how early 
immunization may 
prevent diabetes. 
    Dr. Classen's research has been published in numerous journals and 
featured in national news reports.  For the latest information on the
