1. It is terrible that a child died from a preventable disease.

A thousand kids could die and I will still stand up to the tyranny of vaccines

It is really simple to check out how many measles cases there are each year in the US.

There are on average 130 imported case and bout 120 cases internally in the US every year, with some year's spiking higher.

But RFK so the media goes to work.

Then you should be happy as this will reduce their numbers.

I didn’t have the measles vaccine, I had the measles. And once a child caught it the parents exposed everyone to it to get it over with and have immunity. Yes you should get the measles vaccine along with about 7 other vaccines, but not 72 by age 2. That’s plain stupid. And YES all eradicated diseases are returning because of illegals.

Measles vax has been around since 1963 and everyone is freaking out because of a small amount of cases in Texas, but simple research will show you that in the late 80s and early 90s there thousands of cases. In 1990 alone over 27000 cases, even when vaccine was at its height of inoculation.

I remember COVID having a 99.7% survival rate. I just looked up measles survival rate and it's between 99.8% to 99.9%. Sound like a crappy virus though. Normally last 10-14 days.

I did not have the measle vaccine too. Never caught the measles, knock on wood. I never had the mumps vaccine either. I did catch the mumps. I remember being sick for a day.

Never said it wasn't

The overall survival rate is good because of vaccines and because older children and adults rarely have complications. Young kids and infants not so much.

quote:

In spite of a measles vaccination coverage of 58%, 33% of 60 infant and child deaths were attributed to measles in a rural area of Kenya in 1988. Among 252 measles cases, there were 20 acute and 5 late deaths which may have been caused by the measles. Median age at infection was 44 months, with 16% of cases below 1 year of age. The highest age-specific attack rates (43% and 41%) were in unvaccinated children 6-11 months and 1-2-year-olds. The overall case fatality rate for children below 5 years was 12.6%, for unvaccinated children below 5, 16.2% and among children below 9 months, 24%. Children in homes with several cases had a higher case fatality ratio than had isolated cases, although not significantly so (RR 1.93, 95% CI 0.71-5.24). The median age of the children who died was 12 months. Overall vaccine efficacy was 62% for children 1-4 years. Our findings suggest that the measles vaccination coverage must be raised considerably in order to reduce mortality rates, and that alternative ways to project infants are needed.

Do you have any idea how fricking stupid this sounds?
I think you totally misunderstood what I said - I get the tried and true vaccines for my children BECAUSE my dad had polio - but I’m not getting something that’s been available for 20 minutes and hasn’t gone through the proper or enough clinical trials

I’ve done more than that - before I worked at the public library I did research at children’s hospital, and of course that was 20 years ago but I do know where to look for information

This is, of course, the correct answer.

The missteps with Covid ( most of which aren't true and unfounded) have given idiot ant-vaxxers "legitimacy ".

right and I also don’t like the other side - being labeled as an anti-vaxxer because I don’t get the flu or Covid shots
