The Dirty Secret of the DTP vaccines for babies, pregnant women and adults
And should I restrict comments to the substack?
As a reader recently suggested, I am thinking of restricting comments to paid subscribers so I have time to read them all, and also to evade the trolls. Before I do it, what do you think?
Below is a chart I made in 2012 after I compared all the labels (package inserts, the legal documents telling us what we need to know about each drug and vaccine) for the DTaP (for 2 month through 6 year olds) and TdaP vaccines, which use the same ingredients for adults, kids aged 12 and up, and pregnant women. I showed this chart on CHD’s Roundtable program 2 days ago.
There were 4 licensed DPT vaccines in the US—2 for little kids and 2 for everyone else. Boostrix and Infanrix (the brand names for the adult and baby versions) were made by GSK (the rix at the end stands for Rixensart, Belgium where there is a manufacturing facility owned by GSK).
Adacel and Daptacel were made by Sanofi.
Now, compare the amounts of toxoids given to babies versus adults. Babies get twice the tetanus toxoid as an adult that might weight 10-20 times more from the GSK vaccines for diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus. Babies get 10 times the diphtheria toxoid dose as adults in the GSK shots. Babies get 3 times the pertussis toxoid, the FHA (filamentous hemaglutinin) and the pertactin as adults from the GSK shots.
Sanofi’s shots gives babies 2 times the tetanus toxoid, 7.5 times the diphtheria toxoid, and 4 times the pertussis toxoid as adults.
Would adults tolerate the large doses we give to babies? Would someone please explain these dosing choices?
And how could I forget? The DTP vaccines recommended by CDC during every single pregnancy were never approved by FDA for pregnancy.
I appreciate your posts Dr. Nass ... restricting comments is a personal choice obviously, potential useful information would be lost as in a comment made recently on Dr. Naomi Wolf's post re: oddities of the recent royal ascent to the throne. In the many of her observations, I offered one she had not noticed. As a restricted non-paying subscriber I couldn't do that. As well as comments made to Celia Farber's substack which edified us both.
Life's journey to senior citizen status on basic income precludes subscriptions.
Thank you for your posts.

Well of course you must do what you think is the right thing to do but I am not a fan of charging people to make comments. Thanks for the info on dTAP. I believe its track record speaks for itself and I know a lot parents that will not give dTAP. I pray every day that parents will wake up and stop handing their babies life over to doctors that have no understanding of vaccines except for how much they get as a kick back for adhering to the CDC schedule.
