Thrombocytopenia purpura & vaccination
http://www.emedicine.com/EMERG/topic579.htm
Deficiency of blood platelets
ITP resolves spontaneously only on rare occasions. In ITP, the autoantibodies are directed against platelets. Platelets are minute, disk-shaped components of the blood that are needed for prevention and control of bleeding. Platelets are formed in the bone marrow and are released into the blood. Platelets have a limited life span before they are replaced by new platelets. In ITP, the platelets are prematurely destroyed. In extreme cases, the spleen may have to be removed or a blood transfusion given.

[2009 Feb] How Important is Hepatitis B Vaccination at Birth? By Deanna Gromowski Ian was given his Hepatitis B vaccination on July 1st, 2007 even though he was fighting off the meconium, even though he had a fever ABOVE 100 degrees on June 30th, and even though he had a fever above 100 degrees the day of July 1st they STILL VACCINATED HIM...... Within 12 hours of his vaccination he had the rash, within 24 hours the severe thrombocytopenia set in, and then he was in a fatal state from then on. NO DOCTORS, NURSES, STAFF would even consider the vaccination as the source.

Blood count abnormalities are a recognized feature of many viral infections
and immunizations but little is known about the haematological effects of influenza
vaccination. We report a 67-year-old patient who developed thrombocytopenia and
severe neutropenia 3 weeks after she was vaccinated against influenza. The case
led us to study prospectively the blood counts of 70 people aged over 65 before and after
they received influenza vaccine. There were no significant changes in the levels of
haemoglobin, neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils or platelets after vaccination, but the
total WBC counts (mean +/- SD, 6.86 +/- 1.52) and lymphocyte counts (1.69 +/- 0.61) were
significantly lower at 4 weeks than at baseline (7.22 +/- 1.60 [P = 0.02] and 1.86 +/-
0.62 [P = 0.001] respectively) and in four subjects the lymphocyte count fell to below 0.7
x 10(9)/l. Since influenza vaccine does not contain live virus, its haematological effects
presumably relate to the host immune response rather than to viral replication.

My son Dylan (age 5 at the time) he is 9 now. Suffered a vaccine injury from
the MMR vaccine-He got immune thrombocytopenic purpura. After 2 weeks in the
hospital lots of tests/interventions and a plasma transfusion he was healthy
enough to go home. He started showing signs of Autism soon after and was
eventually diagnosed with Asperger's.--Proud
