In the below screen shot you can see a page from the online Merck Manual. It is a medical guide doctors reference regularly, written by the manufacturer of most childhood vaccines used in the United States. It lists Encephalitis (brain swelling) as a side effect of vaccination: “I virus or vaccine triggers a reaction that makes the immune system attack brain tissue (an autoimmune reaction)”
Dr. Blaylock wrote an excellent article on how vaccines can cause brain damage here
Anti-NMDA Encephalitis – an Autoimmune disorder, there is some evidence that aborted fetal cell tissue used in the MMR vaccine and others could trigger autoimmune brain disorders such as this one.
Studies
Three studies on brain swelling: here, here, here,
Murine Model for Pertussis vaccine encephalopathy. “Local, systemic and neurological complications have occurred following pertussis vaccination in children ranging from irritability to convulsions, coma, and death. Children who recover have varying degrees of permanent neurological sequelae.” [notes susceptibility]
