Government is not worried about people dyeing of vaccine, they are only worried about their pockets getting filled up.

Many WHO experts are corrupt. They will do any thing for money. Many occasions WHO experts were bribed by drug manufacturers to promote their product. This is a multi-million business. They were bribed by vaccine manufacturers to declare human Swine Flu as an epidemic. By that drug companies were managed to sell millions of vaccines and earn millions.

Hon.Nimal Siripala, I think you being the Assemble President of the WHO should stand up & say a few words on this issue. After all these are the lovely children of your fellow countrymen that are being killed by your prestige body as "LAB RATS"!!!!

I think GoSL need to do more study before anything administered to our children. Having said that this BMJ report does not give any percentage or any idea about "Children deaths". Children death happened due to various reasons. In fact not administering vaccine too will lead to deaths. How many percentage deaths due to this. Was it 2% and now 1%? or elase was it 1% and now 4%. As parent we need fool proof medicine to our children. No percentage is acceptable. But we must be careful about BMJ report which are coming from europe. These europian reports (although with Indian authors)will cast doubt about Asian drugs not becuase of safety becuase of commercial reasons that Europe drugs gradully go out of market since they are expensive and they make hell of a big profit. GoSL should look into all aspect of this report. We can not risk lives of our children.

The Medicine business is a multy national concern, involve tests & experiments in third world countries where politicians accept kickbacks to exploit our children with substandard medicine.

No matter who recommend it, all these vaccines and drugs have to be tested domestically too before it is distributed to kids.

These all-in-one vaccines are meeting increasing resistance in Western countries since they were found to be connected with autism. Now the drug companies are targeting the developing world. But with the level of nutrition available to our children, they don´t develop autism, they just die.

Who ever did this study has been collected data from a mouchary not from real sources. Sri Lanka is in the top in amoung the child health. If 1 died out of 5 there shoud be many child death funeral around the country in many days. This is a simply a bulshit like the news from free media journalist

@ Lalith : are you willing to take your child to the peadiatrician (if you are blessed with any) & tell the doctor to administer this viral. After all "bul****" will never be used in our country...isnīt it? Good luck if you got the guts!!

It is true that sometimes people in developing countries being used as ´lab rats´. Anyway that autism story (with MMR vaccine) mentioned by Mr. Dhanushka is not a true one. Although that research article was published in lancet medical journal, later revealed that that doctor who did the study has deliberately changed the data to get a positive result. Then the lancet withdrew the article and that doctor migrated out of the country.

I think we all should read this article critically before coming to a final conclusion. (I didn´t have an opprtunity to read it yet).
