Slow down and look at what that article is doing here. Is that Kennedy who wrote it? You want to reject Spin for facts right?
Read the studies he cited instead of the spin and prove that you practice what you preach about rejecting spin for facts.
The studies do not deprecate DTP vaccines.
They are concluding that if the DTP vaccine was given in a different order they reduce mortality rates. The study suggest that giving the different series of vaccines in a different order and not giving the DTP3 as the last in a series lowered the mortality rate. The studies are suggesting that giving the DTP series vaccines as the last in the order of vaccines is less effective and therefore increases mortality rates in children. They are not saying that it KILLED the children.
They are not saying not to give them the DTP vaccines which save MILLIONS of lives world wide. They are saying this study might prove that giving it in a different order than the rest of the vaccines given to the children may result in lower mortality rates for the children vaccinated. Read the statement in blue below from the study:
"These six linked observations suggest that DTP increases mortality in girls in areas with herd immunity to whooping cough. Hence, reducing exposure to DTP as the most recent vaccination should reduce child mortality. In two randomized trials, we tested whether reducing exposure to DTP by vaccinating with MV at 4.5 months of age after DTP3 (WGNSEV, trial 2) and by BCG revaccination at 19 months after DTP booster vaccination (WGNSEV, trial 3) reduced child mortality. This proved to be the case in both trials."

If you don't read the studies and let someone like Kennedy, a known antivaxxer spin it for you then you think that the study is showing that DTP vaccines kill children. This is NOT what these studies show, they show that c
hanging the order in which the DTP vaccines are given LOWER mortality rates in these children. It was never stated that the DTP vaccines killed anyone. These kids died of various causes probably from things like Whooping Cough and Malaria because the vaccine did not work.
Now this is not hard to Google. Next time just Google "DTP vaccine is killing more children than the diseases it targets" or
"DTP vaccines and Child mortality rates in Africa" Which will lead you to the DTP vaccine mortality rates in children studies which is the studies that he is trying to use to make this claim. It does not claim that the vaccine is killing anyone.
African children have a high mortality rate and vaccines lower that tremendously which is why this kind of spin is such a disservice to the African people.
Trying to scare them and convince them to not be vaccinated and keep watching their children die from diseases that there are vaccines available for is criminal.

What shocks me is when an antivaxxer finds out that the study does not say that "DTP vaccines are killing more children than the disease they are targeting" but rather it should MOST DEFINETLY BE GIVEN to children but in a different order and not as the last in the series and it will have a greater effect in protecting the child from diseases, that they will still pass on the misinformation that DRP vaccines are killing children in Africa. That shocks me because now they are known liars and liars go to the lake of fire. What is wrong with them that they can do that and still claim to be a Christian? Are they reprobates? Demon Processed? Too personally invested in their lies to find repentance and admit they are sinning? I just don't get it.
But it is refreshing when they cite the study and one can read it and realize that it does not say what the antivaxxer thought it said. It makes the antivaxxer look like a moron who can't read. So then you know to discount the rest of their babbling. Their elevator does not go all the way to the top. Their cornbread just ain't done in the middle. Bless their heart.
There are not two sides to this argument folks. Safety tested FDA approved vaccines are safe and save lives.
