"There is no documented evidence of measles vaccine virus transmission."

we may need this in capital letters for the nutjob that posted that prior comment.

While yes, scant attenuated measles virus can be isolated from someone recently vaccinated for up to a few weeks after vaccination, with very high cycle times (meaning the lab equipment repeatedly looks for the virus and keeps cycling over and over again - the higher the cycle time, the less virus is present)

"THERE IS NO DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE OF MEASLES VACCINE VIRUS TRANSMISSION"

In other words, the verrrrrrry tiny bit of weakened vaccine derived virus shed by a person recently vaccinated does not actually lead to infection of others in the real world.

I thought they meant viral shedding from an active infection. [/quote]

My interpretation - and there was a prior post that was also deleted, saying DCUM can't handle a conversation on viral shedding - is that they are referring to the medically and scientifically unfounded conspiracy belief that vaccine induced viral shedding has caused this outbreak. The separate person with deleted posts about PCR detection may be the same person and would be implying that it's a fake outbreak due to over-sensitive PCR tests detecting measles DNA in those recently vaccinated (but that would be inaccurate because the health dept has confirmed that this is wild type measles). Furthermore, per research cited above, viral shedding of attenuated vaccine derived virus has NOT been associated with transmission/contagiousness.

But no matter what, conspiracy theorists will believe what they want regardless of actual published medical research, and probably just decide not to believe the TX health dept because they LIKE believing conspiracy theories.[/quote]
