Measles deaths 'staggering and tragic'

anti vacers need to get a grip, there is a religious component to some of this shit as well..

Ironic too that M easels has killed more people in Congo that Ebola, yet everyone is freaking out about Ebola.

And both are killing for the same reason - people don't trust vaccinations.

Oh, I get it!
Buy big pharma stocks!!!

I really don�t understand how people can take such a risk with their babies lives. I will admit when the kids were little I didn�t think much about the so called usual childhood ailments. Then my kids got the chicken poxs. The boys had mild cases daughter was on the verge of hospitalization. Very scary to see a 5 year old go from waking me at 530 am to make sure she hadn�t missed the school bus to high fever and spots every where even her eyes. Was very glad when they finally made a vaccine for it. Why would anyone take that sort of risk?

In places like the Congo or Africa in general, it comes from a long history of people pretending to be helping them, but in the end exploiting them. They don't trust Doctors are there to help, like we have come to.

--- because they saw it on tell-a-vision.

You do not remember measles parties??

It happens because a lot of people are genuinely stupid. And, probably even more so, we've been subject to an endless parade of anti-science/anti-government conspiracy theories since the 1970's that have sunk deep into the collective brain. This mental rot has already caused untold moral and intellectual damage across all of society and will continue to do so into the future. From profiteering scum like Alex Jones to (allegedly) benign fiction creators like Chris Carter to celebrity morons like Gwyneth Paltrow it's almost become a losing cause. Too many people are so genuinely dumb now that they'd rather listen to some crank on the internet or some Hollywood dope than to their own damn doctor.

Two things:

1. Not everyone objects to immunizing children for measles but what they do object to is the combined Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine that can have deleterious side effects including death.

Vaccinating children for these three diseases separately and over a longer period of time is proven to be safer and many so-called "anti-vaxxers" have no problem with this protocol and are actually not 'anti-vaxxers'.

2. Just because a corporation calls something a 'vaccine' does not automagically make it any safer than any of their other products like OxyContin, fentanyl, Fen-fen, thalidomide, Valium, etc.

It's the same selfish banking fucks from Wall Street driving the profit margins on vaccines as on any other drug but those bastards know that some people have an irrational and maybe even supernatural belief that something called a vaccine is inherently infallible.

And as Charles pointed out there's a shit-ton of money involved in pushing specific patented and profitable forms of these vaccines as opposed to generic individual vaccines.

I don't blithely trust doctors. Left to one bunch of them my left leg would have been amputated to save money.

The answer to not trusting your doctor is to find a doctor you trust. Taking advice from whatever holistic vegetarian nutcase of the week appears on Oprah to peddle nonsense and dangerous pseudo-cures is kind of unwise, if not outright stupid. "I don't like this doctor, therefore all doctors are liars, and thus all of medical science is a total con" is something that only someone who needs intense counselling to overcome their runaway paranoia would think is logical and correct.
