Send medical bill to Mayorkas as he allowed infected illegal aliens into the Country.

Measles used to be a common childhood disease, and nobody freaked-out about it. I know a guy who caught it in the military and never called-out sick because he wanted to complete his training.

Medical care has increased tremendously since the mid-60’s.

Addressing viral or bacterial meningitis with antibiotics, antivirals, and anti-inflammatories, would prevent a lot of cases of blindness and deafness.

I think the actual risk of complications would be far less that it used to be.

Plus, I have never met anyone who went blind or deaf from measles. How many do you know?

Yes it was a big deal. A severe case can cause blindness and loss of hearing. In some younger children it can be fatal

You’re wasting your time. I would not be surprised to read a claim downthread that rabies isn’t fatal.

Infectious Disease ping - Measles (limited, but growing) outbreak in Columbus Ohio

" When the measles outbreak was first reported last week, only four confirmed cases had been identified in one child-care facility,
which temporarily closed – but the number of cases and facilities involved has grown.
As of Friday morning, Columbus Public Health officials updated their investigation to include 19 confirmed cases,
and more suspected, at 10 daycare centers and two schools.
“All cases are in unvaccinated children, and all but one are less than 4 years old..."

See my post before

I know one who went deaf

When I had the measles it was a roaring case. I spent two weeks in a room with the shades drawn

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

What medical "magical wand" do the non-elected bureaucrats running the constitutionally undefined CDC have that Ohio State medical officials cannot handle with their 10th Amendment powers?

If Ohio State medical officials are trying to "follow the money" by requesting CDC funding to deal with measles for example, such funding is arguably Ohio State revenues that the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds stole from Ohio, and every other state, by means of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

In other words, any so-called CDC funding should never have left the State of Ohio in the first place, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention expecting each state to use its own resources to deal with health issues.

I knew one woman. She went blind but that was way back in the day that she got sick. It was earlier 1900’s; 1920’s thereabouts. I met her in the early 70’s.
I had measels, whooping cough, rubella and mumps growing up. Measles and whooping cough kicked by ass, but everything else was so light they really weren’t noticible. I did not get chicken pox tho. I waited for my chance, because those who got it, got to go to the beach to heal up the sores, and I never got to go.

Today, with the meds and treatments we have, it seems risky to subject one’s self or offspring to the very real dangers of immunizations. Dangers which are pretty much kept off the front page news except for those like Robert Kennedy Jr. Who can give the details of those dangers.

Manufacturers of those immunizations have been sued and won by the litigants.

I’ve received very few immunizations. Yes, my kids were immunized, ignorant me back in the day. But even then it was only a couple of shots for a handfull of diseases compared to what children receive at birth with almost no immune ststem. Still, it only takes one to kill a child.

Healthcare today is disgusting.

Measles is not as benign as some may think. It helped to almost wipe out the native Hawaiians in 1848.

That’s because they had never encountered it before and had no natural immunity.

I can see that for some like in that situation, immunizations would be very beneficial. However, for someone with natural immunity built in through their ethnicity, it’s a different matter.

The real concern is that should something happen where vaccines are no longer effective nor available, there would be a lot of people in a lot of trobule if they were not immune from childhood exposure.
