AUSTIN (KXAN) — A Texas medical researcher is raising concerns about a potential large-scale comeback of the measles.

Peter Hotez, Baylor College researcher, says Texas is on the verge of a measles out-break. The main reason is because parents are choosing not to vaccinate their children.

Big mistake. The anti-technology Luddites are spreading their stupidity to the masses. Vaccines have saved 10s of millions of lives and 100s of millions in medical costs. The people running these anti tech forums, many of which are lawyers, are making millions from donors by preying on the ignorant.

Let’s nor for get fetal tissue.
It’s used in a majority of shots now. Especially the flu vaccine.
I just can’t imagine a loving God blessing the slaughter of His little ones to provide “vaccinations” for others.

It’s their right. It’s a very bad decision, but it’s their right.

You may ponder the adjuvants, but if you live in a major urban area, the air you breath is a far greater threat to your health.

They pumped me with all kinds of stuff in the navy and it did not phase me, some guys got really ill, but not as bad as what they were preventing.

Vaccines are a good thing
Plague is a bad thing

Are vaccines perfect? Hell no, but the alternative is plague

Because anecdotal evidence does not make a strong case.

I am a believer in VOLUNTARY vaccines. If you dont want yourself or your kid to get the vaccine, then YOU run the risk of the damages of that vaccine.

Yeah, Mercury and aluminum are toxic, but so what. Everything is toxic, it is the dose that separates the poison from the remedy. Pure water is toxic.

He never forced it on anyone

What vaccines use stem cells? and are they fetal or other?

I reject using fetal tissue on a moral basis but they are using stem cells from plants now and adult stem cell

I don't like how the pharmaceutical companies lobby both for mandatory vaccines, and for more and more things to be added to the mandatory list. How long should the list be?

Texas is the state that rose up against Rick Perry and Gardasil.

The vaccine has been around for a long time. Get it or stay out of school.

I'll get it when you show me that all the illegals are 100% vaccinated. That's the joke this has become. Beat up on Americans let illegals slide.

Because the risk without vaccination is greater then the risk of vaccination

You ever seen someone crippled or dead with polio?””

The risk-benefit equation is a universally applied concept, for nothing is without risk, and the risk of adverse effects from vaccines is neglible compared to the potential devastation of an infectious disease epidemic, or worse yet, pandemic. The Spanish flu killed 500,000 young people in the US and at least 50 million worldwide. Real risk comes from dricving an auto, drinking alcohol, overeating, farming, coal mining, logging, etc.

Measles in the US is not caused by the illegal aliens.

You're missing the point. Illegals come here and don't get vaccinated. They get to use our schools nobody checks them, everybody looks the other way.

But an American Citizen chooses not to vaccinate and the country will implode! I want the same rights as an illegal to do as I please

"The governor of Texas, Rick Perry, issued an executive order adding Gardasil to the state's required vaccination list, which was later overturned by the Texas legislature."
