Guest guest Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Neither I nor my brother and sister or any of the neighborhood kids had the measles. I was a kid in the 1940s. I took my own survey with people in my age bracket about 3 or 4 months ago. When I ask them, at first most said yes. Upon questioning them , like how old, what did your parents do etc. Then it turned out only one was sure she had measles. All were sure they had chicken pox. I ask the question on this list and it seems to me the folks who were kids in the 50s and 60s said they didn't have measles, and the ones who were young said they did. Not sure how accurate my memory is about the responses of this list. My personal opinion on vaccines is they all work or none of them work. Vaccines are all based on the same principle. Put poison in the body. Hope the body will develop antibodies, antibodies will get the nasty bug, should it decide to cross in to your personal space. At best this foolishness is just a test. A test of provoking antibodies. What if the child fails the test? The worst thing that can happen is the child dies. Other than that a host of different problems or if a body is lucky nothing bad will happen. On the other hand if nothing bad happens no one can prove that a body is protected from a disease. I ran a story in the newspaper. I said I would pay $2,000.oo to any member of the enstein organization ( that's my new term for the Allopaths) who could prove a vaccine will prevent a disease. That was over a year ago. I had one member of the F.O. who challenged me and ended up admitting it could not be proven, but he said there were studies. I told him all his studies would make for good toilet paper. If I sound like I am anti vaccine, I am that's why I am on this list. I and 40 million kids back in the good old days never had our blood poisoned with the possible exception of the Small-pox poison. My five grandchildren as well as my son still have virgin blood. I am sorry to say all this good decision making came from the bad decision to poison my daughter with the small-pox poison. Just curious have you read Dr. Mendelsohn's book. " How to raise a healthy child...in spite of your doctor? He was a long time ped. And he cares about what vaccines are put in your child's blood. If I remember correctly, his chapter on vaccines opens with this statement. " The greatest threat of childhood diseases lies in the dangerous and ineffectual efforts made to prevent them through mass immunization. " Just a suggestion, you may want to get a copy and sit down with your member. to see what he/she thinks. The book was written in 1984 and some well brainwashed person said they wouldn' read it because it was old. My personal opinion is that no matter how old the truth is, it can't be improved on. Good luck and may you make a truly informed decision, because your baby's life depends on you, and that's the way it should be, it is not your members decision and if you or he tells you to vaccinate and you do he's off the hook, but you may live with that decison the rest of your life. If I sound like I am putting the responsibility on your shoulders, I am. I wish I had someone like me or some on this list trying to inform me 30 some years ago. Good luck and I sincerely hope you don't need it.

This site says it became available in 1962. http://www.lewrockw ell.com/miller/ miller15. html I am curious about this because measles vaccine is one of the shots our pediatrician is really pushing for. (The other one is Hib. She doesn't care so much about mumps or chickenpox) When I was growing up, it was something every kid got and got over with.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I am actually from this part of cheshire, but don't live there now. Here is a local newspaper report _http://www.crewechronicle.co.uk/crewe-news/local-crewe-news/2008/10/29/south- cheshire-measles-outbreak-worsens-96135-22147277/_ (http://www.crewechronicle.co.uk/crewe-news/local-crewe-news/2008/10/29/south-ch\ eshire-measles-outbreak-w orsens-96135-22147277/) It says only one needed hospital treatment and has since recovered, thats out of 15 cases, maybe thats where they are pulling this new figure from.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Pediatricians all have their favorite shots to push. One of mine was for the polio vaccine because he was a lot older and polio was in the news when he was growing up. Therefore, he fell for the media influence. Another one insists that without the Hib, your child is at great risk. It seems as if your ped is falling for the recent hype over measles. Too bad. She's supposed to be a scientist and healer, not a purveyor of false advertisement. Remember, a vaccine should be necessary, safe and effective. If it's not all of those, there's no reason to get them. Winnie Re: measles stats.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 First, if your doctor is exaggerating the severity of diseases in order to get you to vaccinate, and you want her to stop telling you these stories, then you need to rethink why you're going to someone who has such a different viewpoint over your child's health care. Second, I don't get why you're worried about your child being brain-damaged from measles when you just said it was something every kid got and got over with when you were growing up. It can't be no big deal and life-threatening at the same time. Last, unless the vaccine works, it doesn't matter if the disease is life-threatening. What makes you think the measles vaccine works?

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 See, the thing is I don't know if she's exaggerating ... When I was growing up, everyone got them, my mom treated them as " routine " diseases, but that's just my experience. Maybe some kids did die and I just don't know about them. Therefore, statistics are really important for me. > you need to rethink why you're going to someone who has such a different viewpoint over your child's health care. Yup! Seriously, I am considering getting my kid a homeopath instead. 6 months ago I didn't even know what that occupation was. However I want to maintain a relationship with a regular doctor for my kid, just in case we need one for an emergency. (The doctor we have now is a huge imrovement over the one we had before - we had to leave the previous practice, because they were pretty much " our way or the highway " when it came to vaccines.) So this anti-vaccine lady who lost her child is a myth? Something like this is hard to google Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I understand the need to have the statistics to sort out whether the doc is exaggerating (she may also just be expressing HER fears, not purposely trying to mislead you). However, keep in mind who collects and who interprets those statistics. When the CDC itself lies by claiming that there are 36,000 flu deaths a year (with every health agency, doctor, and the media repeats it as if it's true) when, in fact, those are combined with some 35,000 plus pneumonia deaths to pump up the statistics in order to get people to buy flu shots, then how can you believe anything they say? Whom can you trust to give the facts? It's a tough situation to be in as a new parent, but I think it puts it back on you to use your common sense. You cannot depend on government and corporate propaganda when deciding what is good for your children. Keep your children healthy by keeping toxic substances out of them no matter how hard someone who makes money off it tells you that you need them, and nurse you child through whatever illnesses they get--and they will get some. I also keep a traditional MD on hand so I understand why you are, too. Good for you to be exploring different ways. It's very scary entering new territory when it's your child's health at stake. You will really be tested when your child has a raging fever in the middle of the night and you're scared out of your wits that you've taken the wrong path. Always trust your instincts at those times. I don't know anything about this anti-vaccine lady. If that's all the ped is depending on for her info on anti-vaccine info, she's not looking too hard. I would let it go and not try to counter every piece of nonsense they come up with. It's tempting but way too time consuming. Winnie Re: measles stats.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Ask your doctor to provide you with the actual source about the anti-vaccinator. Where did she get the info. Is this something someone told her. Press for facts. My bet is she/he won't have any. These people are salespeople, they have a product and sales pitch to sell. Like most salesman they make things up. Do not be afraid to question them. I learned a long time ago if you ask a question, and they act like your stupid, or become impatient or get angry, then there just trying to hide the fact that they don't really know what they are talking about and are trying to convince you that you should do what they say. I have personally found this to be true of the enstein Undertakers. That's my new name for the Allopaths. In the future I will just abbreviate to the F.U. group. That name implies the doctors who bury their mistakes and non-mistakes. Jim O' Founder of S.I..N.B.A.D.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 exactly Jim " No one is more arrogant toward women, more aggressive or scornful, than the man who is anxious about his virility. " ---Simone de Beauvoir Arrogance is used to stop anyone (e.g. parents & medical students) asking the wrong questions, and for daring to question medical authority. Works well if you can get away with it. To paraphrase Simone de Beauvoir, no doctor is more arrogant towards his patients than one who is anxious about his medicine/knowledge. Re: measles stats.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Good advice, Jim. Let them do the legwork and provide the proof. And if she were to come up with something about this anti-vaccine woman, ask if she considers that scientific proof that all vaccines are safe and effective for all children at all times.
