Seven to eight million children are thought to have died from measles each year before the vaccine was introduced.

Yes it did- and the reason they have only estimate is most countries had pathetic record keeping, and even many American medical reporting in small communities was lacking.

I got measles- german measles, the bad one- THREE FUCKING TIMES. Docs were dumbfounded by twice, reexamined me numerous times and obv was. Third time was stated as impossible- but there was no doubt.

This began a scant few years before the vaxx came out.

I STILL, TO THIS DAY, have the same surrealist lines stick figures rain and traffic waking dream if I get sick with a fever over 101°- 55 years since that third bout.

I only mentioned it to my mom about a decade ago, and it turns out it was my memories of being on the N Judah electric railcar line in SF going to UCSF for help- because we had no car.

It embedded itself in my neurons and memory permanently I was so fevered.

They were convinced it would kill me, or at least leave me disabled in severe ways from retardation to deafness- as really bad cases did to many healthy American kids.

I don't know why it didn't. Other than getting every ear nose and throat bug every year to age 19, being persistently anemic until I ate more red meat, and the random other stuff kids get I was an exceptionally active healthy smart curious kid and adult with no issues at all and birthed healthy kids as well.

The same cannot be said of many kids in my generation.

And it would damage and kill the same ratios today- witness the toddler who died after the Disneyland outbreak exposure, and they had every advanced treatment via Stanford for care. If one out of 20 died today, imafine how bad it was with 1960s and earlier medical options.

I worked for a pharma co for 15 years, they did the testing kits- and I am more than leary of this covid vaxx scam and not going anywhere near it. 5 years of tests and follow up before anyone should expect ANY vaxx of safe value for anything- and they've never managed ANY coronavirus vaxx that didn't kill the host (you) as they mutate too fast.

I don't do the flu one either, not worth it, and the HPV one is suss as fuck too. And they had a bad batch of whooping cough vaxxes given over a decade ago they tried to hide- until outbreaks happened and spread to "vaxxed" kids in the 5-12 years range.

The rest? They need to do less at a time and space them out more. That will fix 90% of the reactions. But they are beyond valuable in saving children's health and lives.

Unless your genetics preclude vaxx regimens, do not push stupid paranoid delusions- correllation is not causation.

Disease is nature's way of keeping the population under control.

Ok so 28 thousand deaths occurred in Africa...wheres the 8 million that occured every year?

lo_there [S] 1 point ago +1 / -0

So. Obviously you didn't read the articles in that time frame.

"Measles virus (MeV) infects approximately 30 million people annually, with a mortality of 197,000, mainly in developing countries [1]"

From your article. .15% mortality rate in developing countries. Wheres the 8 million dead per year? Did you lie?

No. My purpose here is to counteract the current spat of antivaxxer horseshit. Do I trust Gates, fuck no. Am I going to get the new vaccine, absofuckinglutely not. Am I on board the hurr durr autism train...no that's just as stupid as getting a Gates vaccine.

Do I think vaccines have saved more people in the last 100 years than anything else. Yes.

Was heavy antivaxxer shit on here all over the place this morning. I don't like liars, and will not allow that shit to go unanswered. So I responded.

You're missing the valid points and jumping right to the propaganda paid for by pharma.

Do we have immune systems?

Do we have medical rights?

Do they put chemicals and heavy metals into the vaccines?

Do vaccines harm children?

You ignore those and jump right to the "but muh kids"

No thank you. No thank you. Please leave me alone.

lo_there [S] 1 point ago +2 / -1

Im not saying you don't have a right. I would be remiss to just let you antivaxxers goofs run your mouths without any counter data though. Cheers. Good luck.

Don't need luck. Or metals in immature livers and brains.

The Amish are doing 100% OK! Same with the millions of Jehovah Witnesses and Anti Vaxxers.

Use your brain. Trust your gut. Not the propaganda from pharma.

HAHAHA. Small communities surrounded by people that are vaccinated somehow don't get the disease. Read up on herd immunity, and what happens to these small ones you've brought up when the DO get one of the diseases in their midst.

I dunno about that- every single anti vaxx family kid at the schools I worked at in N CA were frail and unhealthy with odd dietary or health complaints...

Not all of it weird parents.

Like not ONE healthy active unvaxxed 5 year old hit the schools- always the lethargic skinny unengaged seeming intellectually stunted kids.

I understand.

I am a free human.

Please leave me and my family alone.

Easy?

Stop pushing injections.
Get them if you want.

1
sdl5 1 point ago +2 / -1

I do not intend to. I resented work demands we did get flu etc. I got that herd immunity kept the odds low and had no issue with some unvaxxed kids.

And I am avoiding/refusing this covid scam no matter what is pushed or claimed.

But denying the efficacy of std vax routines for most kids is purely reflexive denial.

THAT you need to stop pushing.

-heres a glass of water. It also has some poison in it. Its not very much poison, its below the lethal dose-

"No thank you. I want my water without poison"

-WTF WHY DONT YOU KNOW THAT WATER IS GOOD FOR YOU!? WHY ARE YOU ANTI WATER. STOP BEING IGNORANT-

" No thank you. Please leave me alone"

-NO I AM GOING TO MAKE SURE THE GOVNT MAKES YOU DRINK THIS-

You're straw manning again.
You fail to acknowledge the fault of modern vaccines and the propaganda while trying to just focus on the benefits.

Anti Vaxxers arent anti Vaccines, they are anti - everything else that is included.

Sorry. But the movment is growing the more information comes out.

You calling names and crying about "why dont you all see how good they are?" Isn't helping your argument.
We know.
We know all that you do.

We just know a few more pieces.

Usually families become antivax after a reaction or bad results for their own kids. My oldest got all the vaccines and got sicker and sicker until the 6 month shots put her in the hospital for weeks with home care with a nurse for months afterwards. All of our other kids have no shots and are as healthy as a horse.

Well I can't tell you if it saved me from polio, but my polio vaccination is the only scar I have had that's lasted 50 years.

2
sdl5 2 points ago +2 / -0

i think that's for smallpox- circular on your upper arm, right? Polio was liquid I think...

JimboForDonald 1 point ago +2 / -1

Could be, I was told it was polio when growing up, actually had two, but this thread made me check and I only see one now.
