Some have argued that focusing on women of childbearing age with a tetanus vaccine is necessary in countries like Kenya, since midwives too often cut the umbilical cord with unsterilized scissors or knives, infecting the newborn with tetanus.

It makes more sense, though, to instruct both midwives and women of childbearing age in the necessity of cord hygiene. Give them bottles of bleach at the correct dilution, or little alcohol lamps for flame sterilization, and teach them strictly how to use them.

Since many FReepers are unfamiliar with some recent research findings, here's more info. Laboratory tests on vaccines used in a vaccination campaign in Kenya in March, 2014 confirmed that the vaccines contained the Beta HCG sub unit hormone ---a hormone known to render women infertile.

This vaccine consists in part of an alpha-subunit of ovine luteinizing hormone, beta hCG:alpha oLH) linked to tetanus toxoid (TT) or diphtheria toxoid (DT) as carriers. The vaccine was praised by researchers ten years ago, when it first was discovered that "women of proven fertility leading active sexual life were protected from becoming pregnant."

I.e. thousands of women getting tetanus shots were --- so to speak ---as an added bonus at no extra cost (!!!)---- rendered temporarily or permanently sterile without all that complicated business of having to get their consent...

FReepers, get up to date on this (LINK)

Tetanus also come from the lacerations that normally come with childbirth. Women give birth at home with dirt floors, spores get kicked up and they get tetanus.

I am fully onboard with the tetanus program, it’s the Hcg that is bothersome.
