More victims of idiots such as Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy and their ignorant anti-vaccination activism.

Here is the very latest chart from Children of God for Life outlining all the vaccines with aborted baby tissues: http://www.cogforlife.org/vaccineListOrigFormat.pdf

How in the world did I ever survive?

When I was a kid, during the summer time if any kid came down with measles, mumps, or chickenpox, the mothers had a party to get all the kids together so we would ALL catch it. That way we’d be sick during the summer instead of missing school.

The only one I missed was the tonsils party. They’d have five or six kids all go in at the same time to have their tonsils removed. They’d come back with stories about all the ice cream you wanted and other crazy stuff. Doctor said I was too skinny and he didn’t want to operate on me.

Had all the other stuff, still have the tonsils.

Well it’s all fun and games until someone puts their eye out. /s

FWIW, my older brother nearly died from complications after getting the Mumps when he was 12 years old - meningitis. The doctors thought he wouldn’t live and if he did he would be severely brain damaged, the priest was called and my brother was given last rites. He did live and eventually recovered fully, but that was after spending nearly two months in the hospital and slowly learning how to speak, walk and feed himself again. I have photos of my brother holding me as an infant shortly before he got sick and photos of my brother right after he came home from the hospital – he didn’t look like the same person. My parents made sure that I got all my vaccinations; they never wanted me to go through what my brother went through.

And FWIW, while back when in the day, many kids got the measles, mumps and the chicken pox and recovered with no lasting side effects, but the mumps can cause lifelong irreversible sterility in males, the measles can kill (I knew a kid who got the measles and nearly died from the high fever, she only lived because she was plunged into an ice bath and missed two months of school) and the measles can cause serious birth defects if a pregnant woman is exposed to it, even if she has been vaccinated, and people who were purposely exposed to the chicken pox as children by their well meaning but ignorant parents, can one day thank their probably now long deceased parents for doing them that great summertime favor while they suffer from an excruciatingly painful and debilitating case of the shingles.

Given a choice between sterility and ovarian cancer. I might pick plain old sterility.

Most scientific papers, when they are retracted, are deleted. Someone looking for the paper would find only the citation, along with a notice “This article has been retracted.”

Not so with the Wakefield paper. It is there for anyone to read, and I have done so. It is such abysmally bad science that it should never have been published; I have no idea why a prestigious journal like The Lancet accepted it.

All kinds of improprieties have been revealed since that horrid paper was published. Wakefield was partnered with a lawyer; together they hoped to rake in money through lawsuits, using Wakefield’s paper as scientific “evidence” to support their planned gold digging. Furthermore, besides the dubious scientific quality of this study, it turns out that Wakefield performed medium to high risk procedures on his pediatric study subjects without bothering to seek IRB (ethics review) approval prior to the study. It is unlikely an IRB would have approved of such procedures. He also falsified (fabricated) data.

Wakefield has lost his medical license because of his gross misconduct. Given the number of children who have died as a direct result of his scam, that punitive measure barely even qualifies as a slap on the wrist. He deserves a punishment more in line with the loss of life that he caused.

“getting the Mumps when he was 12 years old “

Back then, the idea was to make sure everyone had this stuff by the second grade. And I am sure there is a risk. But out of all the kids I grew up with, we must of been an awfully lucky bunch.

And since I've had a healthy, happy, successful life at a much higher than average income level, I'll be happy to keep my ‘well meaning but ignorant parents.’ When I see a generation raise kids even half as well as they did, I might consider jealousy.

Not only can measles cause birth defects, it can kill a fetus, because the immune system doesn't develop until *after* birth. Rubella (which the "R" component of the MMR vaccine protects against) is even worse for the unborn.

The older a boy is when he develops mumps, the more likely he is to become sterile.

Shingles is not only painful when the rash is present, but it can remain painful for years after, a condition known as "post-herpetic neuralgia." Depending on the health of the person who gets shingles, the disease can be debilitating, and even fatal. If the virus affects the auditory nerve, the patient can go deaf; likewise, blindness can result if the virus affects the optic nerve. About one out of every three people who have had chicken pox will develop shingles; having shingles once does not protect against having it again. Shingles is caused by the chicken pox virus. No one ever recovers from chicken pox; it just goes dormant in the nerves.

Truth: The saved generation!

The only hope of living a long healthy life is having the childhood diseases in early childhood.

” No one ever recovers from chicken pox; it just goes dormant in the nerves.”

This goes for chickenpox vaccines as well. Those are ‘live virus’ vaccines. One way or another you are infected with chickenpox.

And, happily, both the chickenpox and shingles vaccine are grown in vats of cells derived from an abortion older than I am.

And, being unable to completely filter the fetal DNA from the vaccine itself, the manufacturers are allowed to protect the exact amounts of fetal dna much the same way Coke protects the recipe for their soft drinks.

Creepy.

Everything about vaccines, and their promotors is beyond creepy.

If further studies confirm that association (the one discussed at your link), it means that some ovarian cancers could potentially be prevented by a vaccine that induces anti-MUC1 antibodies. Such a vaccine would be fairly straightforward to design, and the clinical trials would take a few years.

A quick perusal of PubMed reveals that various vaccines are being researched for the treatment of ovarian cancer. The MUC1 protein, in the aberrant form made by tumors, is a target of therapies currently under development.

It might be cheaper to just let little girls get mumps. Have mumps parties for 5 year olds. Of both sexes.

It worked for evolutionary purposes so far.

My Johns Hopkins educated ped refused to give me the mumps vaccine when it became available in the late 60’s. Said it was a waste of money, especially for girls. Until it became mandatory he only gave it to boys who hadn’t had documented mumps by age 9.

3 million kids born in the country every year. Roughly. 1.5m of those are girls. 1.5million X (hypothetical)$75 vaccine. With booster shots every 5 to 10 years. Like most other vaccines.

Do the math and see if you can tell me which big government/medical will pick.
