Here's an interesting piece on the effects of emerging infectious diseases.
Quote:
One recent example is Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which claimed nearly 800 lives and imposed a devastating $50 billion in global losses .
Here are some other effects:
Indirect Effects of Epidemics:
Quote:
i) Social and political disruption due to tension and law and order problems
ii) Economic loss arising from lack of strength of cultivates.
iii) Scarcity of clean food and water leading to malnutrition and starvation.
iv) Worsening of already poor sanitary conditions resulting in aggravation of epidemics.
Epidemic situations also worsen the already overburdened health services, as the scare available resources have to be diverted for controlling and management of epidemics.
The HELL they don't! Have you ever worked in an immunization clinic? Doesn't sound like it. Many people DO bring their records with them. The rule of thumb is if they have no records, to reimmunize. As I showed yesterday, Mexico does a much better job than the US of getting kids immunized, so a lot of these immigrants, including the illegals, actually end up being over-immunized (which in general isn't a bad thing).
Sometimes I work in the immigrant kids' TB testing clinic. A lot of kids, especially from Europe, have been exposed to TB.
And you're right. Over-immunization poses no threat when records are lost or missing, and they don't know if they've been vaccinated. If they have, the body treats it like an exposure to a disease and initiates the appropriate immune response.
BWHAHA naturalnews ... can you get any more idiotic than using a propaganda site.
You breathe in MORE poisons in your EVERYDAY life, in your OWN home, than you would get from ONE dosage of any vaccine.
So NaturalNews is propaganda, but self funded research by Big Pharma is legit? Or Big Pharma giving millions to the Government in exchange for an FDA thumbs up automatically makes it safe?
Yes I agree with the rules that the state of Texas has set out regarding immunizations.
I also agree with the free clinics for all children, not just school age children that they hold in the schools each year.
^^It is up to the individual schools to enforce the immunization laws. There is research that shows that allowing exemptions for personal reasons results in more exemptions. However, you can rest assured that the immigrant kids have been immunized.
With the dread "Obamacare" immunizations are a covered benefit. Those w/o insurance can go to the health dept clinics.
So NaturalNews is propaganda, but self funded research by Big Pharma is legit?
No, who mentioned researched by Big Pharma? I surely didn't. I take the word of independent studies and tests by scientific and submitted papers by real researchers.
Apparently you can't tell the difference
Naturalnews is just a propaganda site, that uses old long debunked research as the basis for their many ignorant claims. oh, and several of their 'writers' are pushing their own "dietary supplements" that have never been tested and could be more dangerous to you than one vaccine shot.
Tell us in your own words who might not be at risk for catching something because they haven't/couldn't be immunized. Then tell us why you don't care.
Why so rabid about what other people do ?
Immunizations are 99% effective right ?
If you have your shot and your kids have their shots then why the angst over what people who don't even live in your community decide ?
What am I missing here that I don't see the reason why people are getting so upset ?
Am I being too confident that my shots will protect me ?
a) You can't get the single antigen MMR vaccines any more.
b) When they were available, they had to be given either together, or at least 30 days apart, b/c they are live virus vaccines. If you give them closer together, they won't "take". It's hard to get people to come back, and come back, and come back.
c) There is no evidence that the side effects are any worse (and they're few,far between and mild anyway) with the triple vaccine.
If you're asking about the separation of all vaccines, b) applies about having to come back, again, and again, and again. (Not all vaccines have to be separated by 30 days.) c) applies as well. Also, the kids are unimmunized for a longer period of time.
They are still available in the others parts of the globe.
I am talking about MMR only.
I had not oly separate vaccies but totally indivudusal schedule, but I was an insider.
