Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 While I was moving about cleaning last night, I caught a bit of our local news blasting a small midwest town with a fairly large number of unvaxed people, many who worship in the same church where 33 people were infected with measles from a single unvaxed church member who had traveled to Romania and brought it back to her community. Everyone survived and now has longterm immunity, but none of that was mentioned. It was all about " fear " , so-called prevention and risks of being unvaxed, though at the very end they did have a doctor saying that there still is a small chance that a vaxed person could still contract diseases they were vaxed for; an unexpected refreshing bit of honesty. Please let us know when you find out who is responsible for putting up that billboard.

We tried to find out who put it up there in the first place. --------------------------------- See the all-new, redesigned .com. Check it out.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Actually those who support vaccines DO acknowledge that a small percentage of vaxed individuals can and do contract the diseases for which they have been vaccinated against. Even the vaccine inserts state the percentage of effectiveness (typically in the 80%-90 something % range). BUT their defense is that's the chance they have to take and that even if a vaxed individual develops the disease, they say it won't be as bad as if they hadn't been vaccinated. Sure.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 True, though it may be, I have never heard it publically announced in the media before; it was weird in a good way.
