Then basically were vaccinating kids against a disease thats rarely serious or fatal. Even in the most recent outbreaks over the last 10 years I can't remember one never vaccinated kid that died from it.
In 2008, there were 18 deaths due to measles every hour (most were children under 5).
And measles actually has benefits:
Several medical studies have shown that these diseases prime and mature the immune system, thereby lowering the risk of serious diseases such asthma and ovarian cancer later in life.
Post the studies. I will only accept peer-reviewed papers on PubMed.
But just like all vaccines the MMR vaccine has side effects:
MMR vaccine VAERS reports 7 deaths per year (1990-1994):
"From July 1990 thro' April 1994, 5799 ADRs following MMR vaccination were reported to US Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS); including 3063 cases requiring emergency medical treatment, 616 hospitalisations, 309 who did not recover, 54 children left disabled and 30 deaths."--- John P Heptonstall
7 dears per year vs. 18 deaths per hour in unvaccinated countries...I know what I'd pick!
Numerous medical reports published in prestigious medical journals have cited major complications resulting from the MMR vaccine, including retardation, chronic seizures, inflammatory bowel disease, hearing loss, chronic arthritis, encephalitis and aseptic meningitis.
MMR vaccines adverse reactions citations
In 1999, New Jersey Medical School researchers found abnormally high titers of anti-measles antibodies in autistic children. They concluded that the MMR vaccine may cause chronic over-activation of the immune system, leading to brain and nervous system damage
We're trading measles for cancer, asthma, allergies, weakened immune systems, Autism, etc....
There is no evidence that the measles vaccine has caused cancer, asthma, allergies, weakenend immune systems, or Autism. Your standards for evidence for the things you want to believe are considerably lower than for the things you don't want to believe. And I like how you essentially blew off my argument that the vaccine lowered the morbidity of measles.
