That's because I wasn't born in America and this is a forum...I am not the first to type fast and not feel the need to try to get everything perfect. As long as it's clear what I am saying. And you judging a person on correct grammar usage without knowing anything about them is just another very telling thing about you I guess The first thing you said to me was "Omg (which is gerat grammar btw...). You are so dumb." You really expect anyone to take a comment like that seriously? XD

Hey dumbo. Measles is a virus with no specific course of treatment. |
Are we talking about encephalitis? No. Are we talking about measles? Yes. Do you have a problem generalizing? Yes, you clearly do. |
Umm. You just sound dumber and dumber. Encephalitis is a complication you can develop from... Wait for it... Measles |
Hey everyone, it's the Dunning-Kruger effect in action! http://www.spring.org.uk/2012/06/the-dunning-kruger-effect-why-the-incompetent-dont-know-theyre-incompetent.php |
Alright...instead of getting insulted some more I'll just move on with my happy, healthy, not vaccinated life. Then you can call each other dumb, incompetent, dumbo and whatever other insults your very mature, grown up and intelligent brains can come up with

From this week's news:
Childhood vaccines eliminated polio from the U.S. in 1979, and are still used today to prevent new infections. But more and more parents are delaying vaccines or skipping them altogether, leaving their children vulnerable to deadly diseases, according to Dr. William Schaffner, chair of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. “If there’s a lesson for us here in the United States it’s that we have to keep vaccinating absolutely every child. If polio is reintroduced into this country, it will find those children whose parents are stretching out their immunization schedules, leaving them susceptible for longer periods of time,” Schaffner said. “That would be a tragedy." And it’s entirely possible. Just this year the U.S. has seen a spike in measles cases, even though the virus was wiped out more than a decade ago. Mumps is also on the rise, and the first U.S. case of MERS emerged this month. But polio is particularly sinister, Schaffner said. “It would be front page news,” he said of the possibility of an outbreak. “It would be a shock and an affront to our public health system.” What will it take? Children in iron lungs again? |
| i don't vaccinate regularly and got my child's titers checked. she's immune from everything except chicken pox. i love that she didnt' get shot up with chemicals unnecssarily. the rest of you can fill their little bodies with whatever you want to pump into them. be my guest. |
So, you get the first round of shots and then you check her levels? How often do you do that? |
| Well, let's hope she doesn't get chicken pox and pass it to the immune-compromised child on the bus or at the drug store or on the playground. Your child's health can depend on the people you so easily dismiss, the people who get vaccines and provide you and your child the protection of herd immunity. Good thing you live here where those same people have, for generations, gotten vaccines with the result that these diseases have been reduced to the point that you feel safe enough to skip the vaccines. If you lived in Africa, would you feel the same? How about your child's children? How will she feel when she realizes the role you played in the resurgence of preventable childhood diseases that were once thought eradicated in this country? |
thing is, if this worries you then you have a whole lot more to be worried about. there are hundreds of thousands of adults-probably more- who haven't gotten their boosters. and herd immunity is bullshit http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/the-herd-immunity-myth-and-how-it-pits-parent-against-parent/ |

How does Dr. Blaylock explain the eradication of polio?
Natural herd immunity develops after a population is exposed to a disease and some members survive the experience. Those people can be immune. The rest are dead. Very naturally dead. |
I have the same question about chicken pox as the PP did about measles. What is the big deal? Everyone I knew as a kid had chicken pox. Home for a week, itchy and bored, but that was it. I was surprised when I had DC that the vaccine is required. |
My children have been fulky vaxed, however are you really screaming that the sky is falling if a kid is not vaxed against chicken pox? If so, you are a very hysterical person in need of some benzos to calm yourself down. |
