Measles deaths

@tflea : If you want to rag on someone at least give the quote correctly. Kennedy actually said the treatment for measles is chicken soup and vitamin A. I think all our moms and grandmas thought chicken soup IS a pretty good treatment for certain ailments and there is some proof to that being true. I don't think there is a "cure" for measles.

@redneckroy : Understand that " Most people who get measles do not die from it. Death is a relatively uncommon outcome, although measles can be a very serious illness." If just one person can get people to not vax their children then those people are too lazy to research anything.

Why is Kennedy being blamed? Give me a truthful answer, not some made-up BS.

There are a number of reasons parents are hesitant to vaccinate their kids; but when the head of the CDC starts pushing anti-science rhetoric, false narratives like trying to link autism to vaccines, or suggesting diet as appropriate alternative - the official message gives reinforcement to the anti-vaccine movement.Vaccine levels have dropped below the threshold required for herd immunity. While death from measles is rare - kids catching the illness is completely preventable - so the deaths and serious illnesses are - easily preventable.The recent executive order splitting the MMR vaccine into three will just contribute to further reduction of the vaccination status.So - while it is every parents responsibility to take care of their own kids - many trust the government for advice and follow that lead

@redneckroy : That kind of ended after the government was not honest about Covid. You all on here said Kennedy is crazy so most people probably don't give a flip what he says.

@redneckroy : Who are the "idiots?" The non-vaxxing parents?Idk. But the truth is that those kids are generally protected simply by virtue of their parents' vaxxing peers. Sure, some will fall through the cracks, but as a rule, yeah. That.

@Atascocita888 : They don't die from the vaccine either

@brightlights : For small percents. But once you reach the watershed, we get these unnecessary outbreaks.Yes survival is high but infection has lifelong effects Immunologically

From the internet The most successful vaccines in history include the smallpox vaccine, which completely eradicated the disease, and the measles (MMR) and polio vaccines, which have saved tens of millions of children's lives and brought the world to the brink of eradicating polio. Top Life-Saving Vaccines
* Smallpox Vaccine (1796): Created by Edward Jenner, it is the first vaccine ever made. A global push by the World Health Organization wiped out the virus completely by 1980. * Measles / MMR Vaccine (1963/1970s): This vaccine stops measles, mumps, and rubella. It has saved more than 90 million lives worldwide. * Polio Vaccine (1950s): Developed by Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin, oral and injected shots reduced global polio cases by over 99%. * DTP Vaccine (1948): Combines protection against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough), dramatically cutting infant death rates. * Hepatitis B Vaccine (1981): One of the first anti-cancer vaccines, as it stops chronic infections that lead to liver cancer. Before the development of the small pox vaccine the disease killed an estimated 400,000 people each year during the 18th century in Europe.Before the Polio vaccine, the U.S. suffered severe epidemics. The worst outbreak occurred in 1952, causing more than 57,000 cases, over 3,000 deaths, and leaving more than 21,000 people with paralysis.Don't understand the resistance to vaccines.

Decline in Mortality (Pre-Vaccine Era)
Early 1900s: Better nutrition, sanitation improvements, and medical treatments for secondary bacterial infections like pneumonia caused measles deaths to drop steadily.
1930s-1950s: The death rate fell by over 95% decades before a vaccine existed, though millions of children still caught the virus every year.The vaccine came about in 1963.Also, the age of the 2 individuals is not being released so the unvaccinated status could be questionable. You know what they say "the devil is in the details" and without these details it's hard for the public to know.....especially since you know all the lies we were told during that one period of time, unvaccinated status could be a few different scenarios.Regardless of what Kennedy said parents will make their own decisions about their childs health.

@Olaf : Probably not, but something sure does happen to some people when they get a vaccine. That is why the government had to create the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. If they were "safe" you would never have to have such a program. Yes, measles is one of the vaccines that is covered under this program.

@Atascocita888 :
Right just ask Ryan Mojabi, Bailey Banks or Hannah Pollings parents. These are just the few that were publisized. They are being paid out by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Trust and oddly enough a couple have been diagnosed with autism or autism LIKE disorder. We will never know the truth because most of us couldn't handle it.

@Fiona :
And your medical degree is from...????....
We listen to our doctors for medical information. Those who don't want to ,.....fine........but clear the way for the rest of us by staying out of hospitals and Dr. offices. There would be no point if you poo-poo what their advice is.

I am on someone's ignore list so whatever the last person said one of you all will have to give a comeback to it. They don't like my comebacks.
