- Researchers at Queensland's James Cook University have
found evidence that needle free vaccines being trialled in the United States
may cause more harm than good.
-
- Professor Alan Baxter says the onset of auto immune diseases
accelerated when the patches were tested on mice.
-
- This can lead to inflammation of the pancreas or brain.
-
- He says while the skin patches, similar to those used
to break nicotine addiction, are still being trialled there are real dangers.
-
- "The real concern is in the normal vaccinated population,
which is small children, who have quite a significant risk these days of
development of type one diabetes," he said.
-
- "A wide spread vaccine program that involves such
patches could have very significant mortality or morbidity."
