There have been more confirmed cases of the disease in the first three months of the year than in the whole of 2005. One boy has died, the first measles death since 1992. Nine have needed hospital treatment. My goodness, what melodramatic responses for a single death that occurred 14 years ago. The child was probably immune compromised and treated allopathically which was a certain recipe for death. What about all the VACCINE induced deaths, disabilties and hospitalizations that have occurred in the past 14 years; no mention there and certainly a worse cause for " shivers " down the spine of these terribly concerned parents and healthcare workers. Someone already wisely mentioned that measles outbreaks are cyclical and always affect both vaxed and unvaxed individuals. > NI_MPU('middle'); These, of course, are nothing like the numbers who used to catch measles, once a childhood rite of passage along with mumps and chickenpox. But today there is no excuse for any case of measles in a child younger than 18 because there is a vaccine, offered routinely to all children since 1988, that protects against it: MMR. It was a childhood right of passage, not a death sentence, and natural immunity was the reward for having the illness. Contracting measles after their so-called mutated brand of protection wears off would be more difficult and dangerous for an adult to process. >Today’s measles cases, which have the potential to grow into something much worse, are appearing because parents were frightened by bad science, and worse journalism, into refusing to have their children vaccinated. In my opinion, today's measles cases have the potential to grow into something much worse because they have been mutated by the vaccine version of an otherwise natural disease. Shoot that into a child who has already been blasted by a number of lab created, mutations of other natural diseases and of course you raise the risk for complications. So easy to blame Dr. Wakefield for their own obvious mistakes. I think every single paragraph of the article " Your Child Next " reveals some form of stupidity or admission that contadicts the ridiculousness of it's claims. This stuff really raises the hair on the back of my neck. Anita --------------------------------- Talk is cheap. Use Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls. Great rates starting at 1 & cent;/min.

Interstingly, Anita, a member of my parenting list says that she knows of a 3yo boy who died from *complications* of measles five years ago. He was vaccinated, of course, and ultimately died from pneumonia but he had measles. Seems the doctors refused to admit it until it he was too ill to save.

He is normally a (reasonably) rational journalist...well, as rational as they come. One of the more *analytical* ones, if you like...
