Measles
Mayo Clinic ^ | Mayo Clinic

Posted on 09/08/2021 9:24:03 AM PDT by DallasBiff

Measles is a childhood infection caused by a virus. Once quite common, measles can now almost always be prevented with a vaccine.

Also called rubeola, measles can be serious and even fatal for small children. While death rates have been falling worldwide as more children receive the measles vaccine, the disease still kills more than 100,000 people a year, most under the age of 5.

As a result of high vaccination rates in general, measles hasn't been widespread in the United States for more than a decade. The United States had about 30 cases of measles in 2004 but more than 600 cases in 2014. Most of these cases originated outside the country and occurred in people who were unvaccinated or who didn't know whether or not they had been vaccinated.

I had mumps and German measles by 2nd grade. Chicken pox arrived at church when I was age 28

Had chicken pox in first grade. Was out of school for 8 days.

Now I'm afraid of shingles, since my dad had it, but I'm also afraid of the vaccine.

The Flu vaccine can’t give you the Flu

My daughter got the first measles vaccine. Then she came down with the worst case of measles ever.

That happened to me in 1970. Somehow I and a bunch of other fifth graders missed the mandatory measles shots. We were all marched into the nurse's office and got the shots. We all caught the measles! Likely a bad batch?

Pfizer has full and complete approval ...

From the FDA? That means nothing.

I got a flu shot one year in, as I recall, the late ‘70s.. Got flu then. Only time I ever got flu.

I don't get a flu shot. I have had the flu bad 3 times in my life and got through it, so I believe I have built up antibodies, plus all my grandparents survived the spanish flu pandemic and through heredity got antibodies from H1N1(spanish flu).

Covid on the other hand, I believe is a human engineered virus form communist china.

That's why I got the vaccine, and I trust Trump.

Each of you posted some variation of the same anti-vaxxer propaganda from the same sources, ie, Kennedy, Malone, etc,. Here’s a link that refutes each of these claims.

Would you like to clarify your post #25 “From the FDA? That means nothing.”

I know what I said. And what I said had nothing to do with any of the doctors you rattled off.

I don’t trust the FDA because they have been known to approve vaccines that were later pulled as unsafe. I want to see along track record before I get jabbed.

There seems to be evidence that the vaxx is activating latent viral infections (or removing whatever keeps them suppressed). I've had flare-ups on my hands from the early chickenpox infection...usually when stressed at work i.e. 14 to 16 hour workday for a week or two without a break.

In your link it says the following

The language about Comirnaty is, as is often the case, confusing legalese and jargon. First of all, what this means is that, while Comirnaty is now fully FDA-approved for use in people age 16 and older to prevent COVID-19

Firstly, why is everyone now saying that is not the purpose of this "vaccine" to prevent COVID-19 when this blogger says it is and why is he saying this when this "vaccine" doesn't actually prevent people from getting COVID-19 as all of the recent numbers of infected "fully vaccinated" are showing?

This reminds me of the time when we got this crazy idea the virus that causes COVID-19 was created in a lab! Remember that nonsense! Oh wait... it looks like that might have actually happened...

But then there was the myth that Fauci funded any of that research... Oh, but wait, it looks like he did.

Thankfully the vax is effective against it though! Oh, but wait, you still get it and spread it even with the vax??? What’s going on???

Of course, the FDA is trustworthy... I guess...

Name three vaccines that are 100% effective in preventing illness.

I hear that complete and utterly false statement at work. I just smile there but I don’t have to here. You cannot get the FDA approved vaccines. They are not made yet. The ones you can get are still under EUA. I know you know that so why are you being intentionally misleading. Your not a liberal so that’s out. So why?

Oh oh, Dugway... got some bad news to lay on you...

Looks like Fauci may have lied:

https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2021/09/08/nolte-cnnlol-ignores-bombshell-report-about-lab-funding-in-interview-with-anthony-fauci/

Luckily he’s not in the government. Because that would be bad! You know, if the government lied, who could we trust???

I think you are seriously making a fatal mistake with this argument for any of the vaccines. How about a vaccine that is something close to 100%? Pfizer isn't even close - I think Israel is saying it is something like 39% effective? Hence the succession of boosters that is going to be required.

Also, how many "vaccines" do you know of that have an unknown number of boosters? Not measles, no small pox, not chicken pox, not shingles, not mmr, not even HPV.
