ISN’T THE ANSWER
What was the medical profession’s response to this paper? Dr. Torch was at-
tacked and condemned for presenting his study.
One of the most powerful vaccine-crib death correlations is what occurred
in Japan. Until 1975 the Japanese followed the American schedule of giving
vaccines at 2, 4, 6 months, etc. After 37 babies died in one prefecture in Japan
the law was changed making it illegal to vaccinate under the age of two. In
1975 Japan raised the minimum age of vaccination from 2 months to 2 years.
