Measles outbreak in Arizona


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.

Rubella(german measles) can cause miscarriage and severe birth defects if a pregnant woman gets it. So...if a small child were to get it say from daycare...then expose their pregnant mother with it...this could be a serious problem.

You used to be able to split the mmr vaccine, but I believe separate vaccines are no longer available. No one make them.
