You can still get the measles, even if you had the vaccine, sometimes. All my kids had the Rubella disease and mumps, but got the vaccine for measles. None of them test as having had the vaccine or the diseases. They are all vulnerable. I had serious cases of mumps twice, and Mononucleosis twice, but I did not develop a resistance to any of them and can get them again, if exposed. Vaccines are not 100% and even having the disease does not always give immunity, either. It mostly does, but it is not 100%.
leave children permanently disabled.

Illegal aliens.
When we enforced our laws if you posed a public health hazard you were turned away.
I was required to have a vaccination record showing innoculations for many different things before I could enter school in first grade in 1948. So did my daughter in 1970.
I think the health officials should be looking for the source of measle outbreaks (and other things like TB) as being the un-vaccinated illegal aliens and this administration’s policy of allowing so many immigrants from other countries.
American parents who refuse to get their children vaccinated are also just as guilty.
I don't trust the drug companies on this, and for good reason.
I contracted measles at 3 months of age and rubella at 9 months(far too young to have been vaccinated) and suffered permanent hearing loss.
I have 2 children on the Autism spectrum and while I’ll try many things to make their lives easier, I have NEVER considered not vaccinating. We even vaccinated at their “actual” age instead of “adjusted” age (both were preemies).
Adults should be aware that you need a pertussis (whooping cough) booster. This can be administered in combination with your tetanus booster. Those with weak or compromised immune systems should also consider an MMR booster as well as the pneumococcal and shingles vaccines.
The nation pays a steep price for NYC.
Stupid article.
Sixteen people got the measles in New York. Two were unvaccinated by choice. Two others were infants too yng to be vaccinated. TWELVE PEOPLE WERE ALL VACCINATED.
If vaccinations were so great, who cares if some people aren’t vaccinated? But vaccinated does not equal immune. And it does equal a lot of neurotoxins in the brain. A FREE REPUBLIC would allow freedom to choose and this outbreak is a perfect example.
Don’t support following governments blindly.
The cases seem relatively small but I wonder what the mathematics are for one unvaccinated child to come in contact with and expose another child having no immunity? My hunch is that these kids expose each other at some leftist private school.
Good God. Looking at the responses on this thread is amazing, but having seen it before, not surprising.
I find this response amazing, but I shouldn’t, because most of these people didn’t live through the cold fear of wondering if their beloved child was going to come down with some terrible and irreversible disease. They didn’t have to live during times when a horrible, disfiguring, disabling, or deadly disease swept like a wildfire through the community, and even locking your family and yourself in your house wasn’t protection enough.
These addled people haven’t experienced the terror of waiting in a panic for the first itching, pain or skin change that would be a harbinger of a terrible disease against which there was no cure or remedy, and the only people who survived were those who were lucky, not those who were careful.
Most of these people are lucky enough to live in a society that virtually eradicated many of these diseases through vaccination, so they don’t have to experience those kinds of terror.
Well, if a kid gets polio because their parents are against vaccines, the kid might not be able to walk without braces or breathe without an iron lung, but the parents at least will have their principles.
And that is, after all, what is most important. Right?
Mumps is making a comeback, too, at Ohio State.
There's a big clue or two as to why Saunders defies logic to present his opinion in public.
You are welcome.
