re: Measles outbreak in Arizona

I still think I'm just gonna wear a mask in most of my patient rooms now

Damn yall are just gangin up on me now

So you just randomly said horse mask.


And not because people have called me horsey looking on here?

I mean you're in AZ so it makes sense, but if someone gets a sever fever and a rash in southeastern LA they're walking their sick arse into a doctor's office or ER without thinking twice.

My concerns with the MMR have nothing to do with autism.

My concerns are:

1. IMO MMR has the most severe adverse reactions (autism not included) of the standard vaccines.

2. We are forced to get the three "live" virus combo vaccine and it is recommended at 18 mo even though one of diseases poses no risk at all to children (rubella). Just seems like we are unnecessarily playing with fire and hoping the immune system will do its job and neutralize all 3 at once. The reason they were made into a combo has do with optimizing the manufacturing process.

Point is...the combination of illegal immigrants here that are not properly immunized and little Brayden not immunized because some MTV has been whore said it's bad....makes for a deadly combination.

This.

I understand who is at risk with rubella but the adult can also ensure that she is vaccinated. Like I said we are wanting our kid's immune system to fight 3 weakened viruses at once.

A lot of Drs and not just reality TV stars had serious concerns with the 3 in one MMR when single M, M, and R vaccines were working just fine.

There are more than just 2 categories of people when it comes to vaccines. Some folks, myself included, feel it is extremely important to have an honest discussion with your child's Dr about what is about to be injected in him/her. Parents need to know the side effects in case something was to happen. Drs need to be well versed to explain to parents what to expect.
