'Completely avoidable' measles outbreak hits 25-year high in US
Click to expand...
American health officials report that more than 700 people have been infected by measles this year, marking a 25-year high for the infectious disease.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Monday that cases had been recorded in 22 states and were mostly affecting unvaccinated children.

Officials said the increase in cases is the largest since 1994, including 78 reported in the past week.

There have been no deaths reported as as result of the outbreak.

"The suffering we are seeing today is completely avoidable," US Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said on Monday.

Mr Azar directed his comments at some parents who have chosen to leave their children unvaccinated due to the unscientific claim that vaccines cause illnesses such as autism.

It will be interesting to see if those states correlate with any marker.
Is it cuckservative states were they can't even conserve the health of their own children, never mind their culture and civilization?

Is it progressive states showing again they don't really care for their unborn and born progeny?

Maybe those states have high immigration rates?

Or maybe those states have a big Playboy reader base and lots of Jenny McCarthy fans.

Travellers may have contributed, but vaccination would've ensured the cases remained low.

Furthermore,
Up to 10% of patients are adults who have received measles-mumps-rubella vaccine, leading officials to warn that some adults may need additional booster vaccines.

Adults travelling to outbreak zones, or adults who were vaccinated prior to 1968 with an earlier prototype of the vaccine, should consider receiving another vaccination, federal officials say.

The US doing what the US does. At what point do we rofl at them for being idiots or is that not allowed here (people in this forum like to think US populous are the brightest apples).
 
A client of mine says that one of their trainers has German measles. Imagine how many people that one person infected ?

Rubella isn't as bad as measles though, so at least there's that? There's been outbreaks in Europe as well, strangely enough in areas that also have low vaccination rates yet the AVers just cannot grasp it.

It's the AVers' fault, not the US.

Very soon, because of these retards, everyone in the world will probably have to be vaccinated again with boosters.

And "not vaxing" cannot be made illegal due to "snowflake rights"....

The only way to stop this madness would be to flip the tables on AVers. How?

Parents who's kids are vaxed , must start suing schools that allow the kids of AVers to enroll. Vaxers are by far the majority, so THEIR rights should be protected...for a change.

This trainer is in Jhb. Hope they are quarantined. :ROFL: Can't tell you how many colds I have caught from people on my courses. Did you know that the unvaccinated look like normal people ? You can't tell the difference by looking at them :p

Unfortunately this is an issue yes and they can even spread diseases before they even show symptoms.

Exactly. Something as silly as chickenpox, in an adult becomes shingles - which is incredibly painful. The list of bad things these diseases can do to you, is definitely worse than "possible autism".
 
Lol 700 out of 300000000. This outbreak is less than someones chances of getting autism from the vaccines.

Yeah death is pretty bad as well. Also strangely enough chicken pox isn't a part of most countries vaccine schedules, even here in SA the public vaccination schedule doesn't have chicken pox on it.

And people regularly die of measels and chicken pox? Please it is a harmless childhoods disease that everyone should get.

Actually I don't as it's widely known by people who don't follow some quack who was discredited and had his medical license revoked.

Yes people die from measles, the last death in the US was 2015 so not that long ago, chicken pox can also kill you it's a lot rarer but it can, there are other complications far far worse then autism they bring as well, also out of interest have you ever actually met an autistic person? Cause you'd probably not even know really. They are freaking easily preventable diseases by just getting one or two shots.

edit: And coming to think of it, even if I did provide scientific proof which has been done for you plenty of time, you don't actually listen so it's pointless.
 
What always confused me as a kid was those kids you said they had the measles when they were younger.

It can make you blind, deaf or sterile.

Measles, mumps, and rubella are viral diseases. All can be very serious.

Measles starts as a fever, cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis(pinkeye), and a red, pinpoint rashthat starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body. If the virus infects the lungs, it can cause pneumonia. Measles in older children can lead to inflammation of the brain, called encephalitis, which can cause seizures and brain damage.

The mumps virus usually causes swelling in glands just below the ears, giving the appearance of chipmunk cheeks. Before the vaccine, mumps was the most common cause of both meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord) and acquired deafness in the U.S. In men, mumps can infect the testicles, which can lead to infertility.

Rubella is also known as German measles. It can cause a mild rash on the face, swelling of glands behind the ears, and in some cases, swelling of the small joints and low-grade fever. Most children recover quickly with no lasting effects. But if a pregnant woman gets rubella, it can be devastating. If she's infected during the first trimester of pregnancy, there's at least a 20% chance her child will have a birth defect such as blindness, deafness, a heartdefect, or mental retardation.

If you bother to read what I have quoted - you will see that it can be rather dangerous to get these diseases.

The age when autism symptoms start to display is a couple months after doctors recommend getting a baby vaccinated and people tend to make a false connection
