MMR for middle schoolers

[Guest guest]

Years after the life-changing event--when my three middle-school aged sons

received a repeat MMR and were felled for well over a year--I must urge checking

into all the ingredients and the purity of the vaccine (good luck on that) as

well as your son's immune strength.  It appears my sons received an " especially

virulent " batch in August 1983.

Although they appear to be fully recovered now, the consequences of that

exposure, the blatant refusal of any doctor to consider that the shot had any

thing to do with their frightening and confusing signs and symptoms has vastly

changed 25 years of our lives so far.

Although the repeat MMR was the only (just mandated July 1 of that year by the

Commonwealth of Virginia)  health event the three of them had in common, and

never mind the twins' immune systems clearly were very low but ignored) the

consultant refused to think it was at all related.

He is the same one, also an " expert " in never scientifically supported

Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, who managed to have a journal article published

(not fact-checked as Roy Meadow's 1977 Lancet article was not either) on

intentional inflication of traumatic brain injury.  By not mentioning vaccines

at all in a story which seemed to cover all injuries of children up to age two

in North Carolina, he skewed results toward suggesting that welfare and military

families--ones least likely to be able to decline shots or postpone them--were

most likely to purposely inflect TBI on infants.

Our family was blessed that physically the children recovered.  Presumably such

a " virulent strain " is not repeating itself.  Because I do not know, I would not

assume that a child's being older was in many ways very helpful or more

protective.

I am glad that your sons recovered. Do you mind sharing what symptoms they

had? And they were in middle school when they had the MMR -was that a

booster? Isn't the MMR booster here in the US done at age 4- 6 now??
