"The use of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine appears to have reduced the incidence of pediatric bacterial pneumonia by 20% in England during the first two years after the vaccine was introduced, investigators reported.
Hospital admission rates for empyema also declined by 22%, according to Sonia Saxena, MD, of the Imperial College of London, and colleagues.

The improvement followed a two-year prevaccine period when hospitalization for childhood bacterial pneumonia and empyema increased by 19% and 77%, respectively, they reported in an article published online in the journal Thorax.

"The success of any vaccination program depends on vaccinating as many people as possible," Saxena said in a statement. "Now that we have clear evidence about the benefits of pneumonia vaccine, we hope more parents will be encouraged to have their children vaccinated in the future."

If the mothers of these children ate nothing but an organic vegan diet, and Spiritual Healers drew away all the negative vibes from the mothers and babies using all the right chanting and contact-free hand gestures, that would be much better for the babies than the TOXIC HORROR of vaccines... and I'm sure plenty of anecdotes would prove it!
