The ultimate vaccine sales method?
Tuesday, November 13, 2007
Vaccinate Your Kids or Go To Jail Parents Of Teens Lacking Immunization Called To Court More than 2,000 Prince George's County students have not gotten their state-mandated shots. Tonight, an ultimatum to some of those parents: Come to court, get the shots, or else. Some students have missed as much as a month and a half of school because they haven't gotten the required immunizations-- for chickenpox and hepatitis B. So now the school system says it's time to get tough and take those parents to court. Free clinics, free shots, door-to-door visits, and countless letters. Still more than 2,300 Prince George's county students don't have their required immunizations. This Saturday, more than 1600 students and their parents have been ordered to appear in circuit court for the children to be immunized. Health workers will be on hand to give the shots immediately. The problem is a new law that took effect last year requiring students in the fifth through 10th grade to also have the chicken pox and hepatitis b vaccine. Parents who don't show up or fail to comply-- could be fined up to $50 and get up to 10 days in jail. Although getting students vaccinated by "court order" may seem unusual, the law is on the school district's side.......... http://sayingnotovaccines.blogspot.c...o-to-jail.html The county seems aptly named . Thanks Vince |

Thanks Vince So what you have is 1) parents who care little enough about their kids (or others' kids) to have their kids immunized, 2) parents who are too lazy to have their kids immunized in a timely manner, or 3) parents who believe the nonsense they read on the internet and are too stupid to recognize truth from fantasy. Hep B isn't benign. Chickenpox isn't benign. HPV isn't benign. These, and more, diseases are vaccine-preventable. That's all. Let the wing-nut flame war begin... Mark, MD |

Last I heard, in a measles epidemic, 95% of the kids were vaccinated yet 90% of those ill were in the vaccinated group. That's all. Let the wing-nut flame war begin...

Anti-vac liars will hate this: Historical Comparisons of Morbidity and Mortality for Vaccine- Preventable Diseases in the United States Sandra W. Roush, MT, MPH; Trudy V. Murphy, MD; and the Vaccine- Preventable Disease Table Working Group JAMA. 2007;298(18):2155-2163. Context National vaccine recommendations in the United States target an increasing number of vaccine-preventable diseases for reduction, elimination, or eradication. Objective To compare morbidity and mortality before and after widespread implementation of national vaccine recommendations for 13 vaccine-preventable diseases for which recommendations were in place prior to 2005. Design, Setting, and Participants For the United States, prevaccine baselines were assessed based on representative historical data from primary sources and were compared to the most recent morbidity (2006) and mortality (2004) data for diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, poliomyelitis, measles, mumps, rubella (including congenital rubella syndrome), invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), acute hepatitis B, hepatitis A, varicella, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and smallpox. Main Outcome Measures Number of cases, deaths, and hospitalizations for 13 vaccine-preventable diseases. Estimates of the percent reductions from baseline to recent were made without adjustment for factors that could affect vaccine-preventable disease morbidity, mortality, or reporting. Results A greater than 92% decline in cases and a 99% or greater decline in deaths due to diseases prevented by vaccines recommended before 1980 were shown for diphtheria, mumps, pertussis, and tetanus. Endemic transmission of poliovirus and measles and rubella viruses has been eliminated in the United States; smallpox has been eradicated worldwide. Declines were 80% or greater for cases and deaths of most vaccine-preventable diseases targeted since 1980 including hepatitis A, acute hepatitis B, Hib, and varicella. Declines in cases and deaths of invasive S pneumoniae were 34% and 25%, respectively. Conclusions The number of cases of most vaccine-preventable diseases is at an all-time low; hospitalizations and deaths have also shown striking decreases. Author Affiliations: National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD); Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia. November 14, 2007 Sharp Drop Seen in Deaths From Ills Fought by Vaccine By DONALD G. McNEIL Jr. Death rates for 13 diseases that can be prevented by childhood vaccinations are at all-time lows in the United States, according to a study released yesterday. The study, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, and published in The Journal of the American Medical Association, is the first time that the agency has searched historical records going back to 1900 to compile estimates of cases, hospitalizations and deaths for all the diseases children are routinely vaccinated against. In nine of the diseases, rates of death or hospitalization declined more than 90 percent since vaccines against them were approved, and in the cases of smallpox, diphtheria and polio, by 100 percent. In only four diseases - hepatitis A and B, invasive pneumococcal diseases and varicella (the cause of chickenpox and shingles) - did deaths and hospitalizations fall less than 90 percent. Those vaccines are all relatively new - the one for chickenpox, for example, was adopted nationally only in 1995. Also, some diseases like hepatitis typically strike adults, who are less likely to be immunized. The results "are a testament to the fact that vaccines can drive diseases down to near nil," said Dr. Gregory A. Poland, chief of the vaccine research group at the Mayo Clinic. And Dr. Robert W. Sears, an Orange County, Calif., pediatrician who writes popular medicine books for parents, including a new one on vaccines, said the study showed "one of the very positive aspects of vaccination." Public health officials are involved in a continuing struggle with antivaccine activists who contend that children's shots trigger autism, seizures or other serious side effects, and that private pediatricians often cannot make time to answer all the questions worried parents have, Dr. Sears said. A spokesman for the disease control agency, Curtis Allen, said the study was not done to counter groups that oppose vaccines, "but it does show conclusively the value of vaccines." It was in 1796 when Dr. Edward Jenner first vaccinated a boy against smallpox by pricking his arms with pus taken from the sores of a milkmaid with cowpox, a closely related but mild disease. Vaccines against whooping cough were introduced in 1914, against diphtheria in 1928, against tetanus in 1933, and so on, up to the latest introduction, seven years ago, of the pneumococcal vaccine. The centers' study estimates the peak years for deaths from each disease: more than 3,000 deaths from polio in 1952, for example, and more than 7,500 from whooping cough in 1934. But as fewer parents see children killed, scarred or brain-damaged by diseases that were once common, "there's been a shift in who's not getting vaccinated," said Dr. Paul A. Offit, chief of diseases at Children's Hospital in Philadelphia and a vaccine expert. Until the 1990s, Dr. Offit said, incomplete vaccination was most common among poor children with no health insurance. But the Vaccines for Children Program, created in 1994 by the Clinton administration, helped end that. It provides vaccines free to any eligible child, which includes 45 percent of American children, Mr. Allen said. Now, Dr. Offit said, it is more common for children from wealthy or middle-class families to lack some or all shots, presumably because their parents have read about side effects or visited one of the many antivaccine Web sites. Most children are immunized as part of routine infant care or before they enter day care or school, but the number of states that allow religious or "philosophical" exemptions has increased. Public health officials worry that those children are vulnerable to diseases that still kill children in poor countries and occasionally arrive from abroad. The study showed total or near-total declines in cases of diphtheria, measles, polio, rubella, smallpox and invasive Hib disease, a type of pneumonia for which children are now normally vaccinated at as early as 2 months. In the 1930s in the United States, there were about 30,000 cases of diphtheria annually, in which a grayish membrane clogs the airways, killing about 10 percent of those infected. The disease virtually never appears in the West now, but in the 1980s, when vaccination stopped in the former Soviet Union in the chaos of its breakup, there were 200,000 cases and 5,000 deaths, by Red Cross estimates. In the United States, rumors of a link to autism and inflammatory bowel disease are most commonly attached to the measles vaccine, making it one that some parents avoid. Refusal is much more common in Britain, and in August the national Health Protection Agency warned that Britain was having its worst measles outbreak in 20 years, with 480 confirmed cases and one death. |

If there is a philosophical exemption, then they can take that. Regardless of the type of exemption, a non-vaccinating freeloading parent must expect to have their children home during outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases. That is the way the system works. |
