In the 1970s Wyeth Pharmaceuticals had sent an entire lot of DTP vaccines to be administered to newborns in middle Tennessee. This caused many, many cases of SIDS all in a close proximity and it was impossible to deny the vaccines were at fault. Because of this, Wyeth changed their policy on how vaccine lots are distributed. Instead of just shipping off each lot manufactured together, they began breaking up the lots and sending them all over the country so the cause of the SIDS cases wouldn't be so obvious... a practice still used by all pharmaceutical companies today. Here is the internal memo discussing this decision.
In 1978-79, eleven babies were found to have died within eight days of a DPT vaccination. Nine of the eleven had been vaccinated with the same lot of pertussis vaccine, Wyeth #64201 and five (four from the same lot) had died within twenty-four hours of vaccination.
"A statistical analysis of the clustering of deaths revealed that the likelihood of observing four or more deaths occurring randomly on any of the first eight days after the use of lot #64201 was 3 in 100. ... E.B. Mortimer later reported that the probability of this being a chance association was even lower -- between 2 and 5 in 1,000.
"The statistical evidence in favor of a connection between the deaths and the DPT shot was strong. Would the medical authorities bite the bullet and admit the vaccine was related to the deaths? Absolutely not."
