(1988). Their graphs show a steady downward trend in the incidence of (and mortality from) whooping cough until 1976, when the incidence shot up threefold. This coincided with the "nationwide childhood immunization initiative’, when individual states were gradually passing legislation requiring three doses of DTP (diphtheria-tetanus—pertussis) vaccine and OPV for school entry, no doubt preceded by an advertising campaign for some time beforehand and accompanied by intensified vaccination activity. The incidence of both whooping cough and polio quite obviously went up threefold when vaccination became virtually mandatory. I see it as clear evidence that the vaccinations caused the recipients to contract the diseases which the vaccines were supposed to prevent. least two doses of trivalent oral polio vaccine before their first birthday. Because the outbreak occurred in the face of high community-wide vaccination levels, the CDC (Atlanta, Georgia, USA) was invited to help determine the extent of the outbreak, why it had occurred and whether OPV was an effective protective agent. (I have no doubt that the outbreak sent shock waves through the vaccinators’ camp—particularly so, since it was freely admitted and publicised and could ave not been swept under the carpet.) Kim-Farley and colleagues wrote that Taiwan's total population at the end of 1980 was 18 million, with approximately 400,000 births per year. Persons under he age of five comprised 11 per cent of the population. Polio was first reported in Taiwan in 1913 and became officially notifiable in 1955. Inactivated polio vaccine IPV) was introduced in 1958 and OPV in 1963. At the ime of the 1982 outbreak, routine vaccination in Taipei and Kao-Hsiung (the two largest cities in Taiwan) consisted of a three-dose OPV schedule before the first birthday. An additional dose at about 18 months was also recommended. From 1975 to 1981, no fewer than nine cases of paralytic poliomyelitis were reported to the Taiwan health authorities each year. No polio deaths were recorded after 1978. Paralytic poliomyelitis outbreak in Taiwan Kim-Farley et al. (1984) described an epidemic of poliomyelitis cases (1,031) which occurred between 29 May and 31 October 1982, after seven years of freedom from major outbreaks. Already by | September, the outbreak had become one of the largest reported in Taiwan's history. Importantly, before this outbreak, approximately 80 per cent of infants had received at Cases of polio were defined as physician-diagnosed paralytic poliomyelitis. The vaccination status of cases was determined from information supplied on case reports and, importantly, "[vjaccinations received in the 28 days before the onset were not counted because they might have been given after exposure". These represented 65 per cent of the cases. So, most cases were excluded as vaccine-caused. It is well established that mos cases of vaccine-derived paralysis occur after the first dose of any polio vaccine. Marking the cases o paralysis in the recipients of the firs dose within 28 days of the vaccination date as "unvaccinated" is not only a major fraud—no doub designed to "improve" the effectiveness of the vaccine—but i also contravenes the definition o vaccine-associated paralysis as determined by the US Specia Advisory Committee (a case which occurred within 30 days of the vaccine dose; Henderson et al., 1964, as above).
