Ya know, with measles effectively eradicated for decades, an ineffective or dare I say, watered down, vaccine could go undetected for a long, long time. Then Øbama opens the borders and it hits the fan. Just sayin’.
It could! I may be one of those stupid parents. I don’t know. I’ve selectively vaccinated and not on the “recommended” schedule. I’m not anti-vax, but the extensive vaccination schedule that is currently recommended makes me uncomfortable with the combo and number of vaccines; Hep B, Chicken Pox, flu for example I haven’t vaxed for. Anyway, my regular pediatrician doesn’t offer the brand of vaccines that I prefer to use so I was just going to a local clinic that did have the brand I wanted, solely for vaccination for my little guy. I decided to go there myself for my yearly exam a little over a year ago now and the doc remembered me and my little guy and was discussing vaccination with me a bit, trying to get me to bring him in more frequently. And in trying to convince me told me about the measles outbreak that was going on at the time and said “We’re even seeing vaccinated kids coming down with it.” And I saw the look she got on her face as she was saying it. And I said, “that’s one of the reasons the vaccination schedule gives me pause.” So this was over a year ago the docs were noticing that vaccinated people were getting the disease.
precisely correct
