[quote=Anonymous]I wonder what republicans will say when rubella comes to town? So far we have been fortunate, but if we do get an outbreak, it’s going to be interesting. The U.S. mandated the rubella vaccine even though it is a relatively mild disease with few complications. Unless you are in the first trimester of pregnancy. In that case, you have a very high chance of miscarriage or birth defects. It’s going to put republicans in a real pickle. Personal freedoms vs protecting the unborn. The only reason rubella vaccines were mandated was to protect others.
[/quote] You’re assuming the Republicans actually care about protecting children and fetuses. They do not. Use your imagination - even disabled kids are exploitable to those who view humans as a source of profit. |

| Can we engineer a version of measles that is more effective at making antivaxxers sterile? |

It’s mumps that makes men sterile. |

You are if you make healthy lifestyle choices. |

Even worse, the antibiotic resistant bacteria that causes TB can settle on artificial heart valves, shunts, artificial knees, hips, etc. leading to a nightmare, sometimes death. |

Infants can die if they are too young for the complete series. |

Yes. Don’t you remember all those novels with unclear paternity where the big reveal was: “he had mumps as a teenager…” I understand it’s really painful for post pubescent boys because their testicles swell massively. |

Like vaccinating against preventable infectious diseases, right? |

The people who infected these infants were likely unvaccinated people who were old enough to have completed the series. This is what herd immunity is about. Vulnerable people who cannot be fully vaccinated are protected by everyone else getting vaccinated so the vulnerable people don’t encounter the disease in the first place. |

yes, I have the same hostility. Hep B can be spread by saliva/bites, and children are prone to biting each other. Sadly I have had 3 different series of Hep B shots, and am now waiting to see if I finally have titers. For those of us who never develop titers, the environment is scary |
