Is it just me or that old CDC crow looks suspiciously like Lily Munster?

She looks so much like a living corpse, and would be the last person I

would take health advice from.

I know from friends in Cali that they have been forcibly quarantining

people suspected of having the measles. Schools where there have been

cases have been weatched for who is coming in and out!

If I get them, I am so gonna push this issue in my documentary. I

understand staying home to keep others from getting ill, but who are

they to tell people what they can and can not expose themselves to if

they come over willingly. So, if anyone hears of cases of measles (or

one of the other childhood things) near them I am searching for an exposure.

I can't help wonder if any of these outbreaks are true. The media lies

to us all the time and it is legal to lie to us. Okay say even in my

own state or even a few county's over they could say there is an

outbreak, and if you don't know anybody over there, how can we be so

sure it's true. Like someone else has said, this could be just another

scare tactic from all the negativity from those opposing vaccines

that's been going on lately. It's CDC's way of saying " see told ya so " .

I don't this is an outbreak instead I think it is being honest about

what a person has because in a non outbreak the Dr would tell people

they have a viral rash or a cold along with an unknown allergic rash.

They would never call measles what it is unless they could twist it around.

That is the laziest and most unresearched, completely biased piece of "journalism" I've ever read!! I'm amazed that this was allowed to be published. It's completely full of holes and blatant mistruths, totally intended to scare people, and it especially seems to have the motive of pushing public opinion into taking away personal (philosophical) and religious rights!!! ~ Tamara

In flippin sane --- before the vaccine there were 500 deaths a year, now there is a child diagnosed with autism every 20 minutes. Gee, what's worse?

ill -- most of them unvaccinated, U.S.health officials said Thursday.The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said said none ofthose who caught the highly contagious viral illness has died, but atleast 14 people have been hospitalized, most with pneumonia triggeredby measles.There were 116 cases in 2001, and the last major U.S. outbreakoccurred from 1989 to 1991, when 55,000 people got measles and 123 died.Anne Schuchat, who heads the CDC's National Center for Immunizationand Respiratory Diseases, said she expects "many more cases this yearthan we had in 2001 based on what's going on today."Public health officials have been stressing the importance ofimmunizing children in the face of increasingly vocal groups whoobject to vaccines for religious reasons or because they think theshots may cause autism or other problems.CDC officials said overwhelming scientific

evidence points to thesafety of the combined measles-mumps- rubella, or MMR, shot and otherchildhood vaccines."We are concerned ... about the population of people who are choosingnot to be vaccinated, and whether we may be on the verge of facinglarger-scale outbreaks in the United States," said Jane Seward of theCDC's division of viral diseases.The CDC said most of the measles cases can be traced to 10 people whopicked up the disease overseas and then traveled back to the UnitedStates, where others became infected. The ages of those sickenedranged from 5 months to 71 years.GLOBAL PROBLEM"These cases and outbreaks resulted primarily from failure tovaccinate, many because of personal or religious belief exemption,"the agency said in a statement.The CDC said 64 cases were reported from Jan. 1 through April 25 inArizona, California, Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, New

York,Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.Eight more confirmed cases -- all involving unvaccinated children inone family who had attended a church gathering in the Seattle area --have been reported since then in Washington state, the statedepartment of health said Thursday.Those spreading measles were infected in Switzerland and Israel, bothof which have larger outbreaks, as well as in India, Belgium, Italyand likely China and Japan, the CDC said."Transmission has occurred in community and health care settings,including homes, child care centers, schools, hospitals, emergencyrooms and physicians' offices," it said.The disease causes fever, cough, redness and irritation of the eyesand a rash.

In flippin sane --- before the vaccine there were 500 deaths a year, now there is a child diagnosed with autism every 20 minutes. Gee, what's worse?

Measles in 10 states CDC scare mongering once again

This is how the CDC terrorizes people into doing things they want themto do. The MMR not only wears off over time, it can cause seriousharm. Instead of freaking out about the measles going around peopleshould take this as an opportunity to get them over and done withinstead of risking them later in life. A week or so in bed covered inspots and missing a bit of the outside world is worth life longprotection in my opinion.http://www.reuters. com/articlePrint ?articleId= USN01435942U.S. reports biggest measles outbreak since 2001Thu May 1, 2008 3:55pm EDT(Updates number with measles, adds CDC news conference)By Will DunhamWASHINGTON (Reuters) - The biggest U.S. outbreak of measles since 2001is unfolding in 10 states, with at least 72 people ranging frominfants to the elderly becoming

ill -- most of them unvaccinated, U.S.health officials said Thursday.The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said said none ofthose who caught the highly contagious viral illness has died, but atleast 14 people have been hospitalized, most with pneumonia triggeredby measles.There were 116 cases in 2001, and the last major U.S. outbreakoccurred from 1989 to 1991, when 55,000 people got measles and 123 died.Anne Schuchat, who heads the CDC's National Center for Immunizationand Respiratory Diseases, said she expects "many more cases this yearthan we had in 2001 based on what's going on today."Public health officials have been stressing the importance ofimmunizing children in the face of increasingly vocal groups whoobject to vaccines for religious reasons or because they think theshots may cause autism or other problems.CDC officials said overwhelming scientific

evidence points to thesafety of the combined measles-mumps- rubella, or MMR, shot and otherchildhood vaccines."We are concerned ... about the population of people who are choosingnot to be vaccinated, and whether we may be on the verge of facinglarger-scale outbreaks in the United States," said Jane Seward of theCDC's division of viral diseases.The CDC said most of the measles cases can be traced to 10 people whopicked up the disease overseas and then traveled back to the UnitedStates, where others became infected. The ages of those sickenedranged from 5 months to 71 years.GLOBAL PROBLEM"These cases and outbreaks resulted primarily from failure tovaccinate, many because of personal or religious belief exemption,"the agency said in a statement.The CDC said 64 cases were reported from Jan. 1 through April 25 inArizona, California, Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, New

York,Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.Eight more confirmed cases -- all involving unvaccinated children inone family who had attended a church gathering in the Seattle area --have been reported since then in Washington state, the statedepartment of health said Thursday.Those spreading measles were infected in Switzerland and Israel, bothof which have larger outbreaks, as well as in India, Belgium, Italyand likely China and Japan, the CDC said."Transmission has occurred in community and health care settings,including homes, child care centers, schools, hospitals, emergencyrooms and physicians' offices," it said.The disease causes fever, cough, redness and irritation of the eyesand a rash. Serious complications include encephalitis and pneumoniathat can be fatal. Measles remains a leading cause of death amongchildren in poor countries, killing about 250,000 people a year

globally.Before a vaccine was introduced in 1963, more than half a millionpeople got measles in the United States and 500 died annually. Thanksto the vaccination program, measles is no longer endemic in the UnitedStates, and ongoing transmission of the virus was declared eliminatedin 2000.The annual number of cases since then generally has been in the dozensand caused by someone infected in another country.

I would not doubt it at all. It's a way of scaring the masses into doing what you want. And, if it is true, there are NO deaths. But take the same 64 people and shoot them up with 48 different vaccines in 5 years time and I would bet you bottom dollar at least one will die of SIDS, one will be autistic, one will be ADD, one will end up asthmatic, one will end up diabetic, blah blah blah.

Re: Measles in 10 states CDC scare mongering once again

I can't help wonder if any of these outbreaks are true. The media liesto us all the time and it is legal to lie to us. Okay say even in myown state or even a few county's over they could say there is anoutbreak, and if you don't know anybody over there, how can we be sosure it's true. Like someone else has said, this could be just anotherscare tactic from all the negativity from those opposing vaccinesthat's been going on lately. It's CDC's way of saying "see told ya so".Rena>> This is how the CDC terrorizes people into doing things they want them> to do. The MMR not only wears off over time, it can cause serious> harm.

, I'm assuming The Virus and athe Vaccine is a book. I have not heard of it. Would you please give me the name of the author--just on the off chance that there might be more than one book with the same or a similar title? I'd like to try to access it through the library. Thanks, so much. ~~Ruth
