Anti-Vaccine Propaganda About Mass Graves at Irish Orphanages

There is no connection between vaccine trials and mass graves at Irish orphanages.

When we are usually talking about anti-vaccine influencers hitting a new low, it’s usually because they are saying something about the holocaust…

Or maybe they are inciting violence or exploiting kids who have died, making you think it was caused by a vaccine injury.

Anti-Vaccine Propaganda About Mass Graves at Irish Orphanages

How did they do it this time?

The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 had nothing to do with vaccine deaths! It was enacted to deal with frivolous DPT vaccine lawsuits. And SIDS deaths increased during the COVID pandemic, even as vaccination rates dropped. Does Paul Marik/A Midwestern Doctor get anything right?

While Paul Marik/A Midwestern Doctor’s post about SIDS is full of propaganda and misinformation, let’s look at his claim that mass graves in Irish orphanages are from DPT vaccine test subjects.

Where did he get that idea?

Children in mass graves at a care home in Ireland died from abuse, neglect and vaccine-preventable diseases.

Tragically, mass graves have been found at a former Catholic care home in Ireland.

And as part of the investigation into these graves, it was uncovered that some children were made to participate in vaccine trials without the consent of their birth parents or guardians.

So how does Paul Marik/A Midwestern Doctor connect the mass graves to DPT vaccine tests?

By pretending there is a connection to misinform his readers!

The results of the vaccine trials and the Final Report of the Commision of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes confirm that there were no vaccine injuries from the vaccine trials.

To be sure, there were mass graves and there were inappropriate vaccine trials, but there is also a lot of evidence that they aren’t connected, especially not with DPT vaccines.

“It found that the dead had been mostly buried in the 1950s, when the facility was one of more than a dozen in Ireland offering shelter to orphans, unmarried mothers and their children. The Tuam home closed in 1961.”

For one thing, none of the vaccine trials were done at the Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, County Galway where the mass graves were found.

And the vaccine trials from the time that the children died only included the single diphtheria antigen, not the combination DPT shot.

“Mother and baby homes were usually overcrowded with poor infection controls and the commission found many Tuam deaths were due to diseases like TB, flu, gastroenteritis, meningitis and measles.”

Mostly though, know that these children didn’t die from vaccine injuries.

They died from abuse, neglect and vaccine-preventable diseases.

In at least one case, one of the unethical vaccine trials at an Irish residential institution was to help stop a diphtheria epidemic!

With diphtheria being a big killer at this time.

“Clinical research conducted in these institutions was, according to Henry Parish, ‘the outcome of pressing invitations to control diphtheria outbreaks’, and were overseen by medical offers on behalf of the Ministry of Health, who it was stated ‘had no facilities to undertake immunization work themselves.”

There is no doubt that their deaths are tragic and should never have happened.

But don’t let anti-vaccine influencers exploit their deaths and create another tragedy by allowing them to scare you away from vaccinating and protecting your kids.
