Health officials in the African nation of South Sudan confirmed a new outbreak of the poliovirus \u2013 ironically caused by vaccinations<\/strong><\/span><\/a> against it. The South Sudan Ministry of Health <\/em>(MOH) said 15 vaccine-derived polio cases were identified in the northwestern portion of the country. Vaccine-derived polio is a rare instance in which the weakened poliovirus in the vaccines mutates and causes sickness, instead of providing immunity against the pathogen it is supposed to protect against.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. John Pasquale Romunu, the South Sudan MOH\u2019s director-general for preventative health services, told reporters that the outbreak of vaccine-derived polio \u201chas affected quite a number of counties and states.\u201d He nevertheless assured that \u201cthe [ministry] and its partners are working on it, and I think it is under control.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mayien Machut, a South Sudan MOH undersecretary, said the country\u2019s status as \u201cwild poliovirus-free\u201d remained in place despite the vaccine-derived polio outbreak. He added that the country was working with the World Health Organization (WHO) to bring the outbreak under control, saying \u201cwe are going to contain it.\u201d Before the outbreak, South Sudan joined three other African nations the WHO declared Aug. 25 as having eradicated polio within their countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

The acutely infectious and contagious poliovirus is responsible for poliomyelitis, which attacks the spinal cord and causes irreversible paralysis in children. Health experts said vaccine-derived polio, the disease that stuck South Sudan, particularly affects countries with low immunization rates and poor sanitation. They added that the pathogen can transmit through fecal matter and contaminate water or food; it can spread through an under-immunized community, mutating along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

An oral polio vaccine administered to young children, which contains a weakened trace of the virus, has been massively effective against addressing polio caused by the wild virus worldwide. Vaccine-derived polio outbreaks are addressed using the same strategies as wild polio, which includes monitoring populations intensely and ensuring high vaccination coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n

South Sudan\u2019s vaccine-derived polio outbreak is one among many instances of vaccine dangers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The vaccine-derived polio outbreak in South Sudan follows deaths stemming from seasonal flu vaccination in South Korea. A report by South Korean news agency Yonhap<\/em> listed 48 flu vaccine fatalities<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, including a teenage boy and an elderly man as of Oct. 24.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the casualties, South Korean health authorities have reiterated that the seasonal flu vaccination will not be suspended unless an official probe found a direct connection before the flu shots and the deaths. (Related: Mass vaccination for influenza a failed strategy, scientists admit\u2026 it simply doesn\u2019t reduce influenza-related hospital admissions at all<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.)<\/span><\/p>\n

South Korean Health and Welfare Minister Park Neung-hoo said suspending the inoculation program would be \u201cunscientific\u201d and \u201cdangerous,\u201d adding: \u201c[The] benefits of taking flu shots far outweigh any side effects.\u201d Kim Joong-gon, another official at the South Korean health ministry, told reporters during a briefing: \u201cWe have reviewed whether it is appropriate to continue the vaccination or better to suspend and wait for the results. We came to the conclusion that the deaths had no direct relations with the vaccination, given the limited data we have now and [the lack of] detailed post-mortem reports.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Singapore Ministry of Health<\/em> (MOH) announced that the use of two South Korean flu vaccines would be suspended<\/a><\/strong><\/span> \u201cas a precautionary measure.\u201d The Southeast Asian country had not seen any deaths associated with flu immunization, but its health ministry and vaccine regulatory agency were \u201cin touch with South Korean authorities\u201d and were monitoring the situation closely.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Singapore MOH informed health practitioners to halt the use of SK Bioscience\u2019s SKYCellflu Quadrivalent and Sanofi\u2019s VaxigripTetra, two flu vaccines administered to some of the casualties. However, it said other brands of vaccines can still be used for scheduled immunizations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The flu vaccination deaths in South Korea and vaccine-derived polio outbreak in South Sudan clearly illustrate the dangers of vaccines. The toxic ingredients in vaccines<\/strong><\/span><\/a> such as mercury, formalin and aluminum are lethal to humans, while some viruses used to make vaccines can mutate and even cause more harm \u2013 just like what happened in South Sudan.<\/span><\/p>\n
