Yeah, we can hear the insane liberal mediots screaming: More Mumps from Trump!
I guess in your zeal to slam anti vaxxers you missed the part where the article said more Than 50% of those contracting mumps were fully vaccinated. The numbers usually run much higher than that w/70-80% of people contracting mumps in outbreaks being fully vaccinated. But don’t let that get in the way of your preferred narrative. Maybe it’s time to stop blaming vaccine sceptics and look at the vaccines themselves. If we are having outbreaks Amongst fully vaccinated populations (& we do, frequently) the unvaccinated aren’t the problem
Not true. The mortality rate is not zero and you can still end up with encephalitis, meningitis, orchitis or permanent deafness.
That said, having had mumps as a child might be protection against developing ovarian cancer.
Does this correlate to Puerto Rico before the hurricane. Theirs was the largest single group moved to Florida recently?
Mumps can cause sterility in males.
Finally getting my MMR next month. Wiping sweat from my brow and feeling mentally liberated.
No , others have pointed out that Puerto Ricans have higher vaccination rates than many states.
I believe that to be correct !
However, the Puerto Ricans do bring Socialistic tendancies to the mainland,
and the 200,000 Puerto Ricans who have relocated to Florida may, in fact, change the voting demographics.
Consier getting a 'booster shot' in another year, or two, if covered by your health insurance.
Recall that in the original article, the CDC says that even with two vaccinations, coverage was 88% for juveniles.
Ok thx. I’ll ask my drs about it. I pretty much follow the same schedule as kids. Do you know if babies get 2?
I just looked it up. It appears another one will follow.
“Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. ( Minimum age: 12 months for routine vaccination) Routine vaccination: Administer a 2–dose series of MMR vaccine at ages 12 through 15 months and 4 through 6 years. ...”
