Vitamin K

Breastmilk, PCBs, dioxins and vitamin K deficiency: discussion paper. 1989, Koppe, J R Soc Med

Late form of hemorrhagic disease of the newborn is a new disease, which was described in 1985, and is observed only in exclusively breastfed infants. Breast milk in industrialized countries is contaminated with polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs).
Xenobiotics were found in the milk of Dutch mothers, but they were absent in the milk of a woman who recently immigrated from Suriname. A woman who immigrated from Suriname 15 years ago also did have xenobiotics in her milk.
PCBs, PCDDs and PCDFs are known to cause liver enlargement, increased blood clotting time, liver cirrhosis, etc. Clinical symptoms of infants whose mothers were poisoned with these substances included stunted growth, smaller head circumference, hirsutism, etc. Children who have been fed with PCBs-contaminated milk have suffered from (among other things) fatigue, anorexia, abdominal pain, vomiting and eczema. In animals, monkeys had fatty liver, pancreatic atrophy, and gastrointestinal hemorrhage after a high dose. Millions of chickens who die due to contaminated food have subepicardial bleeding. Mice exhibit cleft palate, bleeding and subcutaneous edema.
The authors measured the level of dioxins in milk of 14 mothers. Mothers of 4 infants who suffered bleeding had a significantly higher dioxin level than ten other mothers. The authors believe that there is probably a causal relationship between PCBs, dioxins and furans in breast milk and late hemorrhagic disease. These xenobiotics are also possibly associated with prolonged jaundice in newborns.

Hepatitis A

Hepatitis A outbreak among men who have sex with men (MSM), predominantly linked with the EuroPride, the Netherlands, July 2016 to February 2017. 2017, Freidl, Euro Surveill

It all started with a gay parade in Amsterdam in 2016, which attracted half a million visitors. A total of 48 cases were registered among men in Netherlands.
Outbreak in Osaka, Japan, in 2018. 13 cases, all homosexual. Linked with the gay parade in Amsterdam.

Anti-vaxxers

Negative attitude of highly educated parents and health care workers to future vaccinations in the Dutch childhood vaccination program. 2005, Hak, Vaccine

Parents with college education are 3 times more likely to refuse vaccinations.
Medical workers are 4 times more likely to refuse vaccinations.
Atheists are 2.6 times more likely to refuse vaccinations. (Netherlands)

Haemophilus influenzae

Increase in the number of invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b infections. 2005, Spanjaard, Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd

Hib incidence in Netherlands decreased after the introduction of vaccination, and reached a low in 1993, but then started to increase again. Probably because the disappearance of bacteria makes “natural booster” more rare, which leads to weakened immunity, and increased susceptibility to infection.
It could also be because vaccination destroyed the strains with a thin capsule, and left the strains with a thicker capsule. More: [1], [2], [3].

Whooping cough

Pathogen adaptation under imperfect vaccination: implications for pertussis. 2005, van Boven, Proc Biol Sci

While the number of cases of whooping cough among unvaccinated individuals has increased, the number of cases among vaccinated individuals has increased even more. Most cases of whooping cough happen among vaccinated.
Also, according to data from the CDC, most patients with pertussis-induced whooping cough have been vaccinated.

Whooping cough

Adaptation of Bordetella pertussis to vaccination: a cause for its reemergence? 2001, Mooi, Emerg Infect Dis

The authors performed a genetic analysis of pertussis bacterial strains in the Netherlands and concluded that the bacterium had mutated and adapted according to the vaccine. The predominate strains became those with different, mutated forms of pertactin and pertussis toxin. These strains did not exist before vaccination against pertussis began. The same trend was also observed in Finland, the USA and Italy.

Pneumococcal

Colonisation by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus in healthy children. 2004, Bogaert, Lancet

A clinical study of pneumococcal vaccine in the Netherlands found that colonization with vaccine serotypes of pneumococcus negatively correlates with colonization with Staphylococcus aureus. No correlation was found between non-vaccine serotypes and Staphylococcus aureus.
The risk of acute otitis media caused by Staphylococcus aureus increased after vaccination.
