Title: Malcolm Brabant very unwell
Post by chriswest on Nov 21^st, 2011, 6:08pm

Don't know how many know this, but Malcolm Brabant has been very ill for some time, a consequence of the side-effects of an injection of Stamaril, a Yellow Fever vaccine. He's had a relapse, and is now back in hospital in Copenhagen, his wife Trine's home. It seems that the manufacturers of Stamaril, Sanofi Pasteur, are being less than helpful. Trine has sent me this email:

Hi Chris,
Malcolm is indeed very unwell and once again in hospital - 7 months after receiving the devastating Stamaril jab.
I will convey your best wishes once he is a bit better.
In the meantime please support him by writing Sanofi Pasteur, the manufacturer f the Stamaril vaccine.
They claim to have investigated his case, but why are they not sharing their findings?
The relevant people at Sanofi Pasteur are:
PVEurope@spmsd.com - Dominique Delattre (SP Risk management)
Eric.Duranson@sanofipasteur.com - Eric Duranson (SP legal counsel)
Thanks, Chris - and PLEASE spread the word!
Trine

Malcolm is still in hospital in Copenhagen. If anyone is interested in joining his wife and many others in signing an online petition calling for greater transparency from the drug company, here's the link:
