Default mumps

Mumps in this country, in the U.S. the CDC did a study. When Maurice
Hillerman went from Merck, the head of vaccines at Merck went to the CDC.
I have a mumps vaccine; I would like you to use it. They did a study and
they said there is no need. Mumps is a trivial disease in children; we do
not need this vaccine. Exactly the same happened in the UK. The Department
of Health, the Medicines Control Agency, the regulators in the UK said,
this is a trivial disease in children. We do not need a mumps vaccine. But
it got in. ....So you have effectively taken a trivial disease and by
vaccinating, you have turned it into a more dangerous disease. Now, they
are in a real mess. They are in a real mess because one dose of MMR
doesn't prevent it. Two doses of MMR don't prevent it; three doses. You
are creating a population that is dependent upon reboosting with vaccines
for the rest of their lives to avoid this complication, a man-made
complication.....There was incompetence. They were incompetent. They were
so zealous. So urgently needed to get this vaccine into the market that
they ignored the potential problems and now we have a big, big problem.
Mumps vaccine is a dangerous vaccine. It does not work. [2010 April] Dr.
Mercola Interviews Dr. Andrew Wakefield


Mercola? Ah. The guy who champions "cures" that are not based on any kind of
scientific research. The guy that makes a fortune out of the promotion and
marketing of various unproven products. The guy who, according to David
Gumpert, "is selling health-care products and services, and is calling upon
an unfortunate tradition made famous by the old-time snake oil salesmen of
the 1800s" and who uses "every trick of traditional and Internet direct
marketing to grow his business." As for Dr Andrew Wakefield... The former
surgeon and researcher best known for his discredited work regarding the MMR
vaccine. In fact, he even stated that "We did not prove an association
between measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine and the syndrome described."
Further studies completely failed to either confirm or reproduce his
findings. And this is before you even start to consider the conflicts of
interest. Wakefield has no medical license in the USA, and is unlicensed in
the UK.

So I'm sure you'll forgive me if I'm somewhat sceptical about the
purpose/reason for your post. Check out
