HOW MANY who HAVE the measles HAVE BEEN vaccinated?
Why should I just accept the claim that vaccines are safe and effective??
If people who have been vaccinated, some of them twice, are getting it, then just how much good is it?
First things first, some vaccines are 1-shot, others are 2-shot, others yet are 3-shot or more.
It depends on the desease and on the Pharmaceutical company that manufactures the vaccine.
Vaccines work by inoculating minute amounts of the virus/bacteria in your system,
small enough that the patient should comfortably defeat the alien injection
yet create a "seen that, got the message" in its white blood cell/antibody manufacturing capability.
I stand to be corrected, but the measles, rubella, chicken pox and smallpox are somehow related ?
So that vaccinating against the measles is actually detrimental against creating antibodies for... chickenpox or smallpox...
I, for one, certainly had the measles AND rubella at an early age (in Italy),
but was NOT exposed to chicken pox because I lived in the US where
(in the 1960's) everybody was apparently vaccinated, and I wasn't.
The result is I got chickenpox while in University and lost two exams, thank you very much!
(of course it isn't anybody's fault, but had I been exposed to chicken pox at the "proper" age, I wouldn't have got it at 21 !)
So, at the end of the day, the issue is:
"Never mind Big Pharma, exactly WHAT is good for you? Is getting the mumps at 5y.o. good for you?
YES, because if you get the mumps at 25, you might become sterile!"
So, give the kids a break (from school
) and let nature take its course.
If, on the other hand, somebody dies at 70 because of the measles...
:'(
1. he was 70, it couldn't have been JUST the measles...
2. how on earth did he live to 70 and never got the measles yet ?
