[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know what year the measles vaccine came out but I do remember seeing kids on TV (Brady Bunch) and in books (The Great Brain) getting measles and mumps on purpose and it being no bigger deal than chicken pox. Google says 99.7-99.9% recovery rate. Parents have the right to consider cost-benefit analysis on this stuff and some come away with an opinion different than yours. [/quote]

Chicken pox, yes, measles and mumps, no.  We have deafness in an elderly family member from catching one of those at 18 months, before vaccines. To clarify, he has been deaf since 18 months old, and had vaccines existed at that time, he would not be deaf.  Children also died.

These parents, and this movement, have no memory of the before times, and are making a huge mistake over vaccines, science that saved lives.  A massive step back, and history will reflect this[/quote]

Undoubtedly there are people who suffer negative effects from illnesses.  The thing to consider is the risk of these versus the risk of vaccine injury.  People have the right to do their own research and make this determination for themselves.  [/quote]
