Thanks for the link. I’m sick of the post-positivist paradigm that tells us we have to believe everything that’s called science.
OMG, seriously?? Your linked article is FULL of misinformation, especially dwelling on deaths only regarding measles.
Especially this:
“...by 1963 considered a mild childhood illness” — I call BULLCRAP.
My childhood best friend was partially blind her whole life due to corneal scarring common to measles. Today, measles is leading cause of blindness in Afrida. Here are some other serious complications of measles:
- As many as one out of every 20 children with measles gets pneumonia, the most common cause of death from measles in young children.
- About one child out of every 1,000 who get measles will develop encephalitis (swelling of the brain) that can lead to convulsions and can leave the child deaf or mentally retarded.
- For every 1,000 children who get measles, one or two will die from it.
If it was JUST YOU or YOUR CHILDREN you are rolling the dice for by not getting vaccinated, I’d say good luck and God bless. But it isn’t! Your selfish decision to not vaccinate imperils babies too young to be vaccinated, those with compromised immune systems (like kids with leukemia), among others. I’d rather tell YOU and your unvaccinated Typhoid Marys to stay in your house rather than tell parents they can’t take their babies anywhere.
