Until there are more cases there is not yet an
outbreak. It will be another week or so before the incubation period is over and the number of additional cases is known, if there are any.

The consequences of not vaccinating are that you are at a higher risk of getting the illnesses that the vaccine is for and subsequently, a higher risk of any complications, including death. Those are the consequences. There’s no valid reason to take away a child’s right to an education. There are already rules in place that would exclude unvaccinated children from school during outbreaks.
We will ALWAYS have outbreaks. Vaccination rates are pretty darn high even with exemptions. I think the people pushing to take exemptions away are not thinking clearly or thinking this through and have no idea what true informed consent and choice mean.

You are blind to the consequences to other people that your not vaccinating can cause.
The problem is that the people with "exemptions" cluster together, creating undervaccinated pockets that foster larger outbreaks.
You are the one who does not understand what "true informed consent" is. You are making your decision not to vaccinate based on very poor information. That is
not being informed.

Yes, vaccinated people in that outbreak did catch measles. It is not possible to tell from the info on the internet whether any of the people who had had two doses of vaccine and still got measles gave it to anyone else. Typically they do not. They also are less sick and get well faster.

Genius.
You know why the "back to sleep" campaign seemed to decrease SIDS mortality? Because that's how you decrease the risk of dying during sleep for people with seizure disorders:
https://www.sciencedaily.com/release...0121173534.htm
But I remember that your position on post-vaccination seizures is that they are "common" &"benign"? |
There is a case definition for SIDS.
https://www.cdc.gov/healthcommunicat...fantDeath.html
"Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is defined as the sudden death of an infant under one year of age that cannot be explained after a thorough case investigation, including a complete autopsy, examination of the death scene, and review of the clinical history."
A death from a seizure would not be classified as SIDS because there is another explanation for the death.
Febrile seizures are common after vaccination. They may scare the bejeebus out of parents but they are also benign.
"Febrile seizures are a common and typically benign childhood condition, occurring in 2-5% of children at some point during their first five years of life. Febrile seizures have an estimated background incidence of 240–480 per 100,000 person-years in children under five years, although this varies considerably by age, genetics, co-morbidities and environmental risk factors. There are no long-term effects of simple febrile seizures, with the possible exception of an increased risk of recurrence [1-4].
Considering the benign nature of simple febrile seizures, the rarity of vaccine-induced febrile seizures and the relative frequency of fever related to natural infection particularly among young children, the benefits of vaccination greatly outweigh the minimal risk of vaccine complications."
One of my granddaughters had a febrile seizure with an upper respiratory infection.

Same for my Mom's side of the family in NYC which had six young children.
Neither side of my family ever talked about that Flu Pandemic to me. but they DID talk about the Great Depression. I suppose that made more of an impression on them than the 1918 Flu Pandemic in NYC.

Good for your family. Other families were not so lucky.

There is no conspiracy at this level of authority. All news & reports that might implicate a vaccine, valid or not; will be almost by definition: Antivaccine. Antivaccine is considered “fake news”. Including legitimate studies that might otherwise alert us to a safety issue or even a recall.
The media thinks they are doing a public service by not perpetuating Antivaccine rumors. The CDC representatives that networked with the media also believe they are doing the right thing. The experts that instructed those representatives believe this is the right thing. Everyone (almost) who supports this believes they are doing the right thing. Worldwide conspiracies don’t work. Conspiracies among just a few do.
Not an uncommon personality trait among doctors. Consider the source; Respectful Insolence? Gorski? He’s an Oncologist specializing in breast cancer & a smart enough guy in his own right. But Zimmerman is a Pediatric Neurologist specializing in Autism. So, ...?
Dr. Zimmerman did not say that the research is showing that mitochondrial disease is autism.
Dr. Zimmerman said that the research is showing that vaccines can cause autism in children with mitochondrial disorders.
I get “error” messages.
So there is a worldwide conspiracy amongst parents of autistic children to cash in on their child’s permanent disability?
By definition, complex genetic disorders require a non-genetic, environmental factor:
https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/primer/mutat...mplexdisorders |
When you describe a wholesale effort on the part of sites like Google to suppress anti-vax information that is by definition a conspiracy theory. A simple Google search for "vaccine injury" brings up the anti-vax site NVIC on the very first page. Go to their site and you can find tons of antivax "studies".
Gorski tackles anti-vax pseudoscience and explains why it is wrong. You are welcome to try to refute anything he has said. Care to give us an example of something he has said that is wrong?
Vaccines do not
cause autism in children with mitochondrial disease. A fever associated with vaccination might precipitate symptoms, but so will fevers from other causes, including infections.
The fact that the way vaccines are monitored for safety after release picked up the intussusception problem with the original rotavirus vaccine and resulted in its removal from the market invalidates your thesis that that is not being done. There was a safety signal and it was acted upon.
Please tell us what some of these studies were about that you can no longer find.
There is no parental conspiracy. It is just natural for parents without a science background to find it difficult to understand that just because they recognized symptoms of autism after a vaccine was given does not mean that a vaccine caused autism. It is also natural to want to find something to blame, and in the US lawsuits follow the blame.
Whatever environmental influences are associated with autism, vaccines are not one of them.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3168222/
"Most of the focus to date involving childhood vaccination and autism has centered on MMR vaccination. Specifically, in the case of the risk of autism, several recent studies indicate that MMR vaccination does not increase the risk of autism. This includes a study where the MMR vaccine was administered for a 4-year period (1989–1993) in Japan; the incidence of autism was not different across the interval before, during, and after this MMR vaccination window (95). Baird et al. reported no dose response associations between the antibody response to measles virus or the measles component of the MMR in children with autism versus two control groups of children (one control group with specific educational needs unrelated to autism and a typically developing group of children). In a very recent case-controlled study, Mrozek-Budzyn et al. found no association between either MMR vaccination or single measles vaccine administration and risk of autism."

I’m really frustrated and sad that people have gotten so hysterical over this that they feel emboldened to treat others so terribly. It scares me to see how easily people will give up their right to choose and not see anything at all wrong with coercion that greatly impacts peoepls’ lives and eliminates choice.

The ACIP guidelines are science based. There are other reasons than anaphylaxis to avoid certain vaccines, but allergy to one vaccine is seldom a reason to avoid all of them.

You can choose not to vaccinate. You just do not want to accept the responsibilities that go with your choice.
