The current controversy over whether parents should be forced to have their children vaccinated for measles is one of the painful signs of our times.
Measles was virtually wiped out in the United States, years ago. Why the resurgence of this disease now?
The short answer is that false claims, based on other false claims, led many parents to stop getting their children vaccinated against measles.
The key false claim was that the vaccine for measles caused an increase in autism. This claim was made in 1998 by a doctor writing in a distinguished British medical journal, so it is understandable that many parents took it seriously, and did not want to run the risk of having their child become autistic.
Fortunately, others took the claim seriously in a very different sense. They did massive studies involving half a million children in Denmark and 2 million children in Sweden.
These studies showed that there was no higher incidence of autism among children who had been vaccinated than among children who had not been vaccinated.
Incidentally, the “evidence” on which the original claim that vaccines caused autism was based was just 12 children....
Unfortunately, it takes time to run careful scientific studies, involving vast numbers of children in different countries. That allowed the propaganda against vaccines to go on for years...

Didn’t I say the kid was fine before the vaccination?
Wow, wait till the liberals find out Viagra causes children!
The discovery of antibiotics is right up there with them.
I think there are two key factors with Autism:
1. It’s diagnosed more today than it used to be because the criteria has expanded. In my first grade class we had a kid that never spoke a word. He was very odd but was able to do school work. He would be 100% autistic today. Back then there was no label for it other than he’s a little ‘odd’
2. Half of our population is taking drugs on a permanent prescription. Acid blockers, Antidepressants, etc. These drugs or some combination of them could be having an effect that is causing more autistic children. When pregnant, women usually stop taking these drugs but many of them can linger in your system for a long time. Remember that thalidomide was a morning sickness drug that caused massive birth defects. How interesting is it that a seemingly innocent drug had such horrible side effects.
Could it be that women taking a handful of pills (trail mix) every day might be part of the problem?
True enough. Although I like to say that plumbers have saved more lives than doctors, and I'm a doctor!
Interestingly, SEIU workers (the union) is against mandatory vaccination for their workers (nursing home, hospital, day care, food, other words those in public contact with already frail sick people). Fascinating that they oppose this. WHO IS a MAJORITY OF SEIU?
If they say the sun is out. CHECK
Early Polio (up until 1963 or some say longer, 1991) was contaminated with the RV40. The Simian virus from Rhesus monkeys used in the manufacture. So, some of the vaccine ingredients/preservatives/animal only viruses the human body’s immune system is not prepared for and over thousands of years of these diseases, no history of. We all know why hat makers were called mad hatters (the mercury). This may effect the body in many ways. In 1994 a doctor discovered the the lung tumors he was finding in patients, contained SV40. Presumably from the Polio, how would a human in developed countries otherwise contact a Rhesus Monkey?
The measles vaccine (when i had my first child), a possible risk making the rounds was that it was linked to leukemia. The reason a CHICKEN CANCER virus (retrovirus avian leukosis virus) found in the vaccine. I think that these (animal viruses) and the mercury pose a problem.

“These data suggest that there may be an increased incidence of certain cancers among the 98 million persons exposed to contaminated polio vaccine in the U.S.; further investigations are clearly justified.”
The declared “moderate problem” on the CDC side effect site could be what causes some of the ‘autism’ type behavior and may permanently effect whomever gets this reaction.
1 out of 3000, get a SEIZURE or episode of STARING after a shot. This “moderate problem” needs to be reclassified. 1/3000 have a SEIZURE is NOT NORMAL. A SEIZURE (especially first-time, no diagnosis of epilepsy, etc) is NOT NORMAL and needs to be investigated by emergency medicine. One seizure may be all a person needs to cause a permanent change in the brain and hence behavior/ability.
Too many vaccines at one time in too many combinations. That’s a problem right there. In little immune systems. Easy to see how in some their immune system can become overwhelmed from the combinations, many which are not long-termed studied and were not the STANDARD short list when I grew up.
The AMA as of right now, in their code of ethics, don’t promoted mandatory (with exemptions) vaccination.
“Informed Consent”
I don’t remember.

Do you remember the amount of time between diagnosis of autism and the vaccine?
Rotarix, contamination with Pig Virus.
I have trouble with the argument “Science is settled”. Thank goodness for safety reasons, the “science is settled” argument doesn’t overrule the reporting (ongoing) of vaccine side effects and warnings. Being Informed on a health issue is your right.
And all of that nasty stuff has to travel miles underground before it gets to the treatment plant. Bad thing if people were exposed to ebola because of a rupture in the sewer system. We take a lot for granted.
I beg to differ!
One of my sons got all 3 measles from the measles shot!
Anderson Cooper agrees with you and knows just as much. I’m not impressed with your argument.
I was probably one of the early “no more shots” because one of my daughters went into seizures for 5 days after her “baby shots”.
Both the doctor and the hospital workers lied to me and said that it wasn’t caused by her shots.
When we went to her kindergarten round-up, I met two moms who had had the same reaction and all of us were told that the seizures WEREN’T caused by the shots.
Several years later, my son came down with all 3 types of measles from the measles shot, but his twin sister did not.
I refused to get my youngest any shots, but when he was goofing off with some other boys and ran into a dumpster, I did take him for a tetanus. That doctor asked if he had had his shots and when I said no, he told me that I was a GOOD mom! Because his nephew was permanently brain-damaged from the DPT.
Because my girl twin didn’t react as her brother did to the same shot, I have decided that it may be an individual reaction the the stuff in the vaccinations and how do we know just what part of or who will have a negative response?
Furthermore, how do we know just what is in any shot?
It is mandated that all food be labeled as to contents, yet something which is introduced directly into us we haven’t a clue??? Talk about making an informed choice.
Speaking of which, uh, first it was mercury, then aluminum, both of which are heavy metals which cadaver studies have shown to accumulate in the brain. Possibly causing short-circuits.
NOW 60% or more of our vaccines, including measles, are made from aborted fetal tissue.
Can you imagine how a loving God feels about butchering little ones for vaccines?
My oldest had a reaction from the DPT. First time I was told it was “normal”. Second time, “normal”. I informed myself, realized that this was not ACCEPTABLE AS NORMAL, that he was probably having BRAIN INFLAMMATION, and the third DPT, I had the doctor switch to the shot (came out of Japan IIRC) that was not linked to the bad reactions. Dr. Agreed, and third shot NO BAD REACTION. I still feel horrible about the first two shots. I did my diligence, but not enough. Made sure my next three kids, their vaccinations were spaced out, family history discussed, and I informed myself.
When my son had a febrile seizure from the fever, I was told that’s “normal”. Heck no.
Good for you being a Good Parent, I’m sorry your child had a seizure and I hope all is well and that is interesting about twins. Little kids immune systems are just forming. To load all these “dead/live” viruses in them with heavy metals and think severe reactions are “normal” or acceptable. What are some people thinking with loading multiple shots/multiple combos?
You’re right too... Thanks jalisco
