The Author Points Out:
In their JAMA study, the researchers noted their research has demonstrated, for the first time, that the PCV-7 vaccine can lead to infection with serotype 19A bacteria -- pathogens which are well known to cause middle ear infections as well as potentially invasive pneumococcal respiratory disease that resists treatment with antibiotics. So are the scientists calling for a ban on the PCV-7 vaccine? Incredibly, the answer is no. Instead, they are calling for even more vaccines with "broader coverage".
