I don’t recommend the vast array of vaccines for babies. However, I reject the anti-vax mentality against all vaccines.
As far as no one dying from measles, at one point there were over 1,000 deaths per year in the United States from measles. As late as 1977 there were still more than a quarter million people in the United States who were partially paralyzed because of polio.
I’m glad that you survived.
Have a great day.
Exactly and yet people who object to the ridiculous vaccine schedule are painted as blanket *anti-vaxxers* which is disingenuous.
And as far as deaths from measles, a couple thing. One is that the vaccines are not free from that side effect.
The other is that medical care has come a LONG way in treating infections from the days of my childhood. We now have anti-biotics, anti-virals, and anti-inflammatories, that if properly administered would go a long way to preventing or remediating any damage done from complications of the disease.
Measles is a relatively manageable disease if you get it as a kid, but not so much for adults.
What if the immunization from the vaccine didn’t take or didn’t last, then you get it as an adult? Then what?
