Philippines to charge Sanofi officials over dengue vaccination deaths

The Philippine government said Friday it would file criminal charges against six officials of the French pharmaceutical firm Sanofi Pasteur over the deaths of children injected with its Dengvaxia anti-dengue vaccine.

The Philippines in 2016 was the first nation to use Dengvaxia in a mass immunisation programme, but Sanofi disclosed a year later that it could worsen symptoms for people not previously infected by the dengue virus.

The disclosure sparked a nationwide panic, with some parents alleging the vaccine killed their children.

148 dead children - the “Dengvaxia Victims

A couple who are both clinical epidemiologists, spot the problem in the NEJM and point out the flaw in a program that is only supposed to vaccinate kids that have already had the disease once. They point out they're not checking, which results in 148 deaths of healthy kids from the vaccine, and they're branded as "anti vaxxers"?
