Measles
Mayo Clinic ^ | Mayo Clinic

Posted on 09/08/2021 9:24:03 AM PDT by DallasBiff

Measles is a childhood infection caused by a virus. Once quite common, measles can now almost always be prevented with a vaccine.

Also called rubeola, measles can be serious and even fatal for small children. While death rates have been falling worldwide as more children receive the measles vaccine, the disease still kills more than 100,000 people a year, most under the age of 5.

As a result of high vaccination rates in general, measles hasn't been widespread in the United States for more than a decade. The United States had about 30 cases of measles in 2004 but more than 600 cases in 2014. Most of these cases originated outside the country and occurred in people who were unvaccinated or who didn't know whether or not they had been vaccinated.

Some simularties with the the current situation.

I am not pro or anti vaccine, I say it is up to every adult and parent to make that decision.

I am vaxxed(Pfizer) and the reason why is that I trusted Trump and his operation warp speed and that this was CCP virus.

I will never forget when I got my measles vaccine when I was 5. A neighbor was the county nurse and my mom took me up to the courthouse to get the measles vaccine, when I saw the needle I screamed and ran under a desk, to not get the jab, and then I felt my arm being yanked by a strong force. The nurse said, "you are going to get the shot" and gave me the shot.

Let's just say my mother was not amused by my behavior.

Soon enough you will probably be forced to take the experimental Covid Jab if you want any of the other established tried and true vaccines.

Some similarities....

except the measles vaccine is a true de-natured virus that triggers a body’s natural defense. Current COVID “vaccines” are mRNA injections that work to re-write cellular amino acids to identify a threat. Similar to the AIDS “vaccine” produced in the 80’s that was pulled because it killed more people than AIDS did...

It’s no longer an experimental vaccines if it ever was one. Pfizer has full and complete approval so it is now a tried and true vaccine too.

No, there isn't.

The Measles vaccine has nothing in common with the COVID-19 jab.

None of the current fake vaccines are approved.

So the EUA Pfizer vaccine that is being administered now is approved or are you talking about the COMIRNATY that was just granted approval that no one can get?

Also, tried and true means it has stood the test of time. How can that be said of the EAUs out there right now?

Yours is a very disingenuous post.

Nope. The FDA simply did a sleight of hand. The jab is NOT approved.

Many previously ‘contained’ diseases will be making a come back with the arrival of all these illegals. Measles, TB, etc.

I hope that wasn’t your reason.
I’m sure we agree that President Trump is the greatest President since George Washington, but he isn’t infallible. There is only one that is infallible, and that is the Lord.

Further, the measles vaccine doesn’t always work. I had the “normal” measles twice (once when I was a freshman in college) and also the German measles. So, that dang shot and 3 cases of measles. I don’t trust vaccines.

This current vaccine is a different type. It was rushed through production. The trials were skipped. It is being pushed by a government that always manipulates and lies. I’m supposed to trust it?

There were reported measles infections that occurred at Disneyland. They were traced to immigrants recently immunized. They were shedding virus. It was sequenced and determined to be the same virus used in the vaccine. There is a period of shedding/communicability. It is a stable, effective vaccine, but still requires care in application.

I had mumps and German measles by 2nd grade. Chicken pox arrived at church when I was age 28. All 3 of my sons caught it too. My wife had it has a child and escaped a repeat.

Spent the last week of Kindergarten in my parents room with German Measles. Remember wearing sun glasses and the window shades pulled down.

You cannot have an emergency use only drug if there is an alternate approved drug. The “approved” drug is not available. They are still giving the EUA jab so they can escape liability.

Nor have they been fully long term tested.

And they don’t fit the classic definition of a vaccine. The definition had to be changed to be able to include the clot shot so that they could now CLAIM it was a vaccine.

It’s been deception about the so-called vax from Day One.

“ It’s no longer an experimental vaccines if it ever was one. Pfizer has full and complete approval so it is now a tried and true vaccine too.”

The drug that got approved is not even available yet. They still have a good bit of the EUA stuff that they will continue to offer. The current (EUA) drug is NOT approved.

My daughter got the first measles vaccine.
Then she came down with the worst case of measles ever.

I got a flu shot one year in, as I recall, the late ‘70s.. Got flu then. Only time I ever got flu.

Pharmaceuticals never work for me and apparently not for my daughter. I stay healthy instead. In the last 16 years, I caught a cold once. Ran it’s course in 5 days. I used OTC coricidin and cough drops. My friend, a pharmaceutical company exec, came over with a bunch of stronger meds and decided I was doing fine on my own.
