As of March 1, 2012, there have been 898 claims filed in the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) for injuries and deaths following MMR vaccination, including 56 deaths and 842 serious injuries.
These parents would disagree with you.
From the CDC that we know downplays information they don’t want to deal with
Most children who get MMRV vaccine do not have any problems with it.
Mild Problems
Fever (about 1 child out of 5).
Mild rash (about 1 child out of 20).
Swelling of glands in the cheeks or neck (rare).
If these problems happen, it is usually within 5-12 days after the first dose. They happen less often after the second dose.
Moderate Problems
Seizure caused by fever (about 1 child in 1,250 who get MMRV), usually 5-12 days after the first dose. They happen less often when MMR and varicella vaccines are given at the same visit as separate shots (about 1 child in 2,500 who get these two vaccines), and rarely after a 2nd dose of MMRV.
Temporary low platelet count, which can cause a bleeding disorder (about 1 child out of 40,000).
Severe Problems (Very Rare)
Several severe problems have been reported following MMR vaccine, and might also happen after MMRV. These include severe allergic reactions (fewer than 4 per million), and problems such as:
Deafness.
Long-term seizures, coma, lowered consciousness.
Permanent brain damage.
Because these problems occur so rarely, we can’t be sure whether they are caused by the vaccine or not. (but we wouldn’t put the warning here if we were reasonbly sure there were issues)
“These parents would disagree with you.”
The parents of 300 million people, who if uninnoculated by the measles vaccine alone would have represented 660,000 souls lost through measles alone are thankful for the vaccine.
So you have 57 deaths versus 660,000
Which number is higher?
Vaccinate your kids. Don’t be stupid.
