As we all know, Jenny McCarthy causes autism.

So, 26% of those infected by the virus were vaccinated? That's a hellish high vaccine failure rate.
Yes it is. The vaccine "problem" is much larger than the autism matter.

Measles was declared eliminated in 2000 -- meaning the disease "is no longer constantly present in this country." However, the dip in routine childhood vaccinations in recent years as well as travelers bringing measles into the country has resulted in outbreaks.
https://abcnews.go.com/Health/measle...%20individuals

Be it Europe or the US, millions of unvaccinated people coming in, who are not even documented, no data on them, might be a health issue. Nobody is forcing these unknown people to be vaccinated, or even tracking where they travel.

If communicable disease was an actual threat, this would never be allowed by any country. Ever.

Quote:
With measles transmission continuing in Europe,
Just a moment...

The question is simple enough. How does a disease that has been eliminated just show up?

Oh wait, they say it out loud

Quote:
The United States has maintained measles elimination status for almost 20 years.

While we expect importations of measles cases into the United States to continue, the risk for measles for the majority of the population would still remain low.

I guess you didn't bother reading the responses to godfry's posts explaining why his argument was idiotic.

They're still there. You can still read them.

You are correct. I did not read any responses to the post.

And with my response 5 days old, I completely forgot about it. Obviously.

Quoting what you are responding to is not just helpful, it's good form.

And, in my defense, I rarely pay attention to the log in name of somebody. I focus on the words on the page.

What is your point godfry?
The point is pretty obvious.

Are you not aware that the vaccination isn't 100% effective? Have you read the replies at all?


What is your point?
Again, either pretending not to understand something, or being too stupid to understand it, they both come across the same.

Way back in the day, after vaccination, the victim, I mean subject, was challenged with an actual infection, to see if the vaccination worked.

These days, nobody can do that. (it's illegal)

But they certainly can check for antibodies, and an immune response.

Also, before science knew how to preserve a vaccine, smallpox vaccination depended on young boys to carry the cowpox.

https://daily.jstor.org/how-children...und-the-world/

It sounds horrible, horrific, criminal and barbaric (which it was of course), but adults have always sacrificed children for the greater good.
