Obama Climbs On The Vaccine Bandwagon

Really? Ever notice all those kids coming down with polio? Staying home from school from measles? Having birth defects from rubella? Not anymore. Timeline data for all of these proves conclusively that vaccine had nothing to do with them. Look it up. When a child contracts a case of measles these days, it's almost certain that it won't be reported due to vaccine bias based on a child's vaccine status, but the best vaccine does is to limit or reduce the severity of a viral infection (and sometimes it produces symptoms not unlike the disease itself.) Since parents nowadays don't suspect a communicable disease, a child is rarely presented to a doctor for evaluation. He or she stays out of school for a day or two with a "flu bug." Even if the child is presented for evaluation, a doctor rarely orders blood work. Again, that is based on vaccine bias. You probably don't know that measles mortality had already declined by 95% before the vaccine was even introduced, and for that to happen, severe morbidity had to be declining, as well. Vaccines completely eliminated polio in the Western hemisphrere, nearly completely stopped measles (with all cases from sources outside the US), decreased invasive Hib disease, nearly eliminated rubella-related birth defects, decrease the incidence and severity of chicken pox, decreased the rates of diptheria, tetanus and purtussis. One of my cousins died at age 3 within an hour of receiving her pertussis vaccine. This was before I was born and people rarely sought legal remedy against medical providers in those days. Both her mother and my mother (who had not yet had children of her own)were devastated by this loss. It's true that such diseases today are not the problem they once were, but vaccine was far too late in the game to explain those declines. Nowadays, we chalk most of our "mystery" bugs up to that "weird flu" going around, but you don't really know. If you want to decrease the chances of your kid from getting sick or dying, then vaccines are necessary. Care to back that up with risk-adjusted scientific evidence from a published source? |
