"As reported in a letter to the New
England Journal of Medicine in 1984, tests of T-lymphocyte subpopulations were done on 11
healthy adults before-and-after routine tetanus booster immunizations. Tests showed a
significant though temporary drop in T-helper lymphocytes (a class of white blood cells
which helps govern the immune system) in all of the subjects. Special concern rests in the
fact that in 4 of the subjects the T-helper cells fell to levels found in active AIDS
patients. (2) If this was the result of a single vaccine in healthy adults, it is sobering
to think of the consequences of the multiple vaccines (twenty-one at last count) routinely
given to infants with their immature systems during the first six months of life. However,
we can only speculate as to the consequences, as this test has never been
repeated."--Dr Buttram MD
