Wow.. And this guy calls himself a doctor. I suppose his cardiology patients are pure too? Without those nasty stents in their heart that could alleviate symptoms and prolong life. /s

He should be run out of town... And he’s an arrogant jerk to boot, saying he doesn’t care who else his choices hurt.

Your medical knowledge is showing. Its the chicken pox that predisposes one to shingles, not the measles

All the really bad stuff is already here brought in by the illegals. You never see it on the news however. Hubby was a firefighter for many years in one of our smaller surrounding towns that is 99% Mexican, probably half illegal. He had numerous cases of drug resistant TB and 2 leprosy cases. Those were some of the worst ones. Every other disease was represented there as well.

Part of the problem now is the amount of vaccines children are receiving. In addition to that, the vaccines are loaded with chemicals and things that babies/small children should not be injected with.

Agreed. He illustrates that obtaining an MD degree somewhere is no insurance against unethical incompetence.

And yes, this creep letting his personal issues color professional practice is a breach of ethics.

CNN twists the statement of this doctor. They purposely make him sound like an arrogant jerk. (Plus I had to shorten the quote in order to get it to post.)

He isn’t towing the line, repeating the CDC mantra, therefor he must be wrong. Here’s another article quoting him, “Measles isn’t a big deal, he said, though the CDC definitely disagrees. “This quote-unquote ‘outbreak’ has infected 70 people who are quote-unquote ‘infected,’ ” he said. “This is a country of 300 million people, and no one has died, and no one is sick as far as I know. We are all worried, and we are all getting crazy, and what we’re talking about is really just a fever and a rash.” Excerpted, read more here http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/01/30/amid-measles-outbreak-anti-vaccine-doctor-revels-in-his-notoriety/

I wondered about that. Growing up, we all got measles, stayed out of school a few days, and that was it. Nobody ever died from them or had serious harm, except of course from rubella("German measles,") a whole different animal.

I don’t believe it is a breach of ethics to have a different opinion. Free speech is a wonderful thing here in America.

" Last week Eli was at a Phoenix Children's Hospital clinic with a woman who had the measles..."

Dare I suggest that the woman who had the measles was an illegal alien?

Amongst the general U.S. (legal) population, measles was eradicated by the late '90s.

The media is doing its best to shift the blame to the non-vaccinators when, in fact, the problem is caused by the illegals.

There’s an article about him in the Wa Po that I just stumbled on. He’s a trained doctor who met his chiropractor wife and is now basically a hippie-dippie. I love these folks who want to live as we did centuries ago, but they never seem to realize how nasty, brutal and short life was in those days.

It’s like the fact that people are fat now (which I’m not 100% sure is true, but let’s take it as a given for this discussion). I think it is likely that for millenia our major task as living beings was not to starve to death, now we finally have a surfeit of food and our bodies just haven’t caught up with our good fortune. There are also so, so many labor saving devices which are now so cheap everyone basically has them. My mother, born 1926 to a middle class family in NYC, washed her clothes in the sink. There were no washing machines. Nowadays even the poorest person goes to the laundrymat, at least in urban areas. There were no dishwashers, no snow blowers, no electric/gas lawn mowers, not that an ordinary person would have. Now people own all these things and we have to exercise on purpose! But I think most folks would like to keep things as they are now, not go back to the “good” old days.

They should be vilified. They’re idiots that are endangering their children because they can’t handle simple logic. Shame and ridicule is a societies best defense against morons.

This site gives a good summation of why parents should be concerned. http://www.globalresearch.ca/vaccine-mccarthyism-what-if-the-vaccine-paradigm-itself-is-deliberately-flawed/5427768

Quoting from the article, “Rarely does a whistleblower emerge from the federal health agencies. Government and corporate entities that are notoriously hierarchical, such as the CDC, FDA, and Health and Human Services, ruthlessly prevent dissention from their ranks. In the Obama era, when whistleblowers are persecuted more than ever before, it is an act of great courage for a person to come forth and reveal government malfeasance, corruption, and criminal behavior. Therefore, it was a shocking surprise last year when a senior epidemiologist at the CDC, Dr. William Thompson, acted upon his moral conscience and released thousands of pages of CDC documents with research data to Congress that unveil the agencies long history of fraudulent studies and medical cover-ups that hid the serious failures and health risks of vaccines.”

I applaud this doctor for questioning the risks associated with vaccines. The sheeple who continue to vaccinate are probably unaware that the CDC is covering up the links to vaccine injuries. Our lack of a free press contributes to the problem. It is endangering children to continually assault their little bodies with vaccines that are not safe.

>>With the corruption at the CDC, I for one will not recommend that my grand children get vaccinated.<<

And when they die of measles or one of many other disease you will feel dandy. And if they infect many others and THEY die you can also pat yourself on the back.

Not vaccinating is pure insanity based on dumber junk science than AGW.

You are correct. The Government does not for one minute want people to question their recommendations for vaccines. Therefor anyone who opposes vaccinations must be marginalized and vilified.

You have to consider, is the cure worse than the disease?

I prefer to face the risk of measles rather than the risk of a hazardous vaccine that is being promoted by a corrupt government and greedy manufacturers of vaccines.

Ask parents whose children have suffered irreparable harm following an immunization if they would have rather dealt with the measles.

By the way, do you trust the so called “science” that has proven the science is settled and Global warming is real?

I personally don’t trust the so called “science” that says vaccines are safe. It’s really quite easy to see if you do a little research.

Name one that has medical proof.
