MANILA, Philippines—People who are claiming that the Dengvaxia vaccine is safe are “misleading” and “betrays the memory” of hundreds of children who have died because of the vaccine, a Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) forensic expert said Thursday. PAO forensic expert Dr. Erwin Erfe was reacting to the statement of a group of doctors calling on the PAO to stop spreading unproven claims about the Dengvaxia vaccine. ADVERTISEMENTErfe insisted that his forensic team had validated the facts through 105 autopsies, all concluding that the Dengvaxia vaccine can cause fatal side effects including viscerotropism, neurotropism, severe dengue and anaphylactic reaction. He also noted the rapid death of children who got sick within six months after receiving the Dengvaxia vaccine. /jpvADVERTISEMENTRELATED STORIES:Death of 5 children linked to DengvaxiaForensic expert finds pattern leading to 3 Dengvaxia recipients’ deathsRead Next
