open access: bronzeArchives of Disease in Childhood, 2010
In their commentary on my article about the non-specific effects of vaccines, Paul Fine and David Elliman state that we are dealing with ‘unproven non-specific effects’ and imply that these effects may not be of widespread importance because ‘much of the evidence’ comes from Guinea-Bissau.1 First, proof is never possible in medicine.

Beneficial Non‐Specific Effects of Measles Vaccine: Fact or Fiction?

open access: green
Background: A recent Systematic Review claimed that randomised controlled trials (RCTs) showed that there are no beneficial non-specific effects (NSEs) of measles vaccine (MV); i.e. effects not explained by prevention of measles infection. The claim contradicts previous meta-analyses. Methods: We examined the reasons for these contradictory views.
