Grovesasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that, taking the averages for the last 30 years, although less than half the babies born in this country were vaccinated, the deaths caused by vaccination to children under five were more than twice as many as those caused by smallpox, he will take steps for the discontinuance of vaccination?
§ Sir K. WoodThe answer is in the negative. The hon. Member's conclusions seem to have been arrived at by including among the deaths caused by vaccination all cases in which vaccination was mentioned on the death certificate, although 49W in many of these the death was assigned by the Registrar-General to some other cause.
