To piggyback off what lion commented, when I worked as a records clerk in a middle school with a large ESL (English as a Second Language) population, most of the kids that came through that were immigrants had vaccination certificates. I had to send them over to be translated/transcribed to an official Kentucky certificate. The highest group that had non compliance? Folks on Medicaid. Even when we held vaccine clinics coordinated with the local hospital/insurers, they didn't want to fill out the paperwork.



My wife works with special needs students, which is often heatlhy ESL students falling behind, because they don't speak the native language. Every state has a different acronym for this, but from what she has explained to me, this is also the case in our part of the world.

It was interesting to see some of the vaccines some of the kids would come in with as well. They'd be compliant with US vaccines, but depending on where they came from would have some additional vaccines we didn't (TB, Yellow Fever, Typhoid, Dengue).

Let's accept the argument it's the illegals fault.

Maybe the illegals introduced it. Doesn't really matter at this point because in areas such as Utah, it is spreading in general population.

Great. You don't get your nasty kids vaccinated and they wind up spreading the disease.


In other words those vaccinated will be alright, right? If so, what is your concern?

You have the thinking ability of a 1st grader

My 2nd grader understands percentages and herd immunity

I’m sure this has nothing to do with third world immigration.

This probably doesn’t happen but for 20 million + third world illegals being allowed to just walk across the border.

Right! No mention of that in the article, though. Also, the anti-vaxers who didn’t vaccinate their kids against MMR are idiots.

I understand herd immunity very well. How many times were you jabbed? Regardless, it appeared they were concerned so many were not getting jabbed. My response was, more or less, so what?

Herd immunity or vaccination, at this point, what difference does it make?

When is your next jab?

My coworker is a doctor that swears up and down that measles have an anti-cancerous component to the infection.


I am not a doctor, but I do work in public health.

I think your friend is referring to oncolytic virotherapy. This form of therapy uses genetically modified viruses to attack cancer cells.

In early 2014 two individuals received treatment for myeloma, which are cancerous plasma cells that build up in bone marrow. These two individuals responded well to oncolytic measles virus therapy.

This is not to say that someone with cancer can contract measles and be cured of cancer...oncolytic therapy uses particles of a virus, through genetic engineering; for therapy.

Here's more information:

So if most kids are vaccinated then why do they still catch it?

I like how it’s blamed on parents not wanting to vaccinate their kids for something that was eliminated whilst simultaneously ignoring the fact that millions upon millions of illegal aliens were brought in without any scanning whatsoever. Idiots

Not all vaccines are sterilizing vaccines. Some are there to lessen the severity and reduce the timeframe that someone is contagious, so it reduces the spread. It increases your immunity threshold. For some vaccines, infants/toddlers under a certain age and folks who are immunocompromised (elders as their immune systems wane, medically fragile folks) can't be vaccinated. They depend on herd immunity.

Just like for a lot of these illnesses we're talking about, death isn't always the greatest concern. Things like lifelong disability is.

measles can be awful because it comes with the chance of immune system amnesia, basically wiping out what acquired immunity your immune system may have developed to other diseases and what not

Knowing MSM, losing that status could very well be all of 3 active cases in.a 12 state region....
