The Wyeth (now Pfizer) DTP Vaccine Memo

Evidence of how far vaccine companies are willing to go to hide evidence of their product killing babies. Wyeth was bought by Pfizer in 2009.

This document should be considered substantial precedent in knowing just how far these corporations are willing to go in attempts to cover up and obfuscate the harm their products can cause.

In this case, the harm was numerous cases of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) that happened in a cluster in Tennessee after use of the DTP vaccine made by Wyeth in the 1970s.

Normally, you’d expect a corporation involved in health, especially in regards to children, to take measures that puts the safety of their customers first, like with immediately removing the vaccine from the market to ensure it’s safe, re-evaluating the formulation, checking quality control practices, etc, but no, Wyeth did the opposite.

Wyeth instead went to great lengths to cover it up by changing their policies on how vaccine lots are distributed to doctor practices to be administered. Normally they would just send vaccines out by the batch, but after the SIDS events, they started splitting up the batches and sending them to many different parts of the country so it was much more difficult for people to make connections between SIDS or other adverse events, and the use of their vaccines. They continued this practice of mixing batches going forward, so who knows how many more adverse reactions or deaths were caused by their vaccines that were left unknown.

Wyeth was not held accountable for these crimes and the cover up, and instead they were bought by another repeated criminal corporation called Pfizer in 2009 for $68 billion.

They fit like a glove.
