nated against tuberclosis with
the BCG vaccine last month,
in a program arranged by the
territorial department of
health.)
At a medical convention in
Chicago last week, Time re
ports, Professor Jay Arthur
Myers, TB authority of the,
University of Minnesota, said
that not only are the claims
of good results from the vac
cine unfounded but the whoie'
idea of a vaccine against
tuberculosis is based on a
fallacy.
Dr. Myers’ main points
against the vaccine are the
following, Time reported:
Since an ordinary attack of
TB does not produce depend
able immunity, there is no
basi s for hoping that a mild,
artificial infection can do so.
The bacilli in the vaccines
are often so weakened that
they soon die, or are so virul
ent they actually cause tuber
culosis.
Such induced TB is mild at
first, may stay dormant for
years, then flare up as a seri
ous disease.
Those vaccinated with BCG
give a positive reaction to
tuberculin afterward; hence
this test is useless in their
cases.
