Tarrant County at risk for measles outbreak as vaccination rates plummet among children
Fort Worth Star-Telegram ^ | 6/22/23 | Ciara McCarthy

Posted on 06/24/2023 8:29:11 AM PDT by DallasBiff

Dr. Pedro Piedra, a professor of molecular virology and microbiology at Baylor College of Medicine, the number is not enough to have significant herd effect.

The vaccination data covers the 2022-23 school year, and shows that the rates for children in North Texas have not yet recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused a significant decline in the number of children vaccinated against preventable disease like measles, chickenpox, polio, and and more. Before the COVID pandemic, in October 2019, about 95.9% of kindergartners in the Fort Worth district had received the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination.

The pandemic disrupted access to vaccines and other preventive care for a number of reasons, said Dr. Shane Fernando, assistant professor at the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine. Initially, kids who received vaccines or health care at their school lost access when schools closed, and their families might have lost access if they lost health insurance. When students returned to schools, Fernando added, the urgent need to get students’ caught up on lessons they had missed meant some schools relaxed their vaccination policies. And finally, misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine and its safety has spilled over into other vaccines.

Good I hope more people start questioning the risk/benefit ratio of all these vaccines.

“Tarrant County at risk for not getting autism, multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s Disease, many other kinds of chronic illness, and whatever else they’re now putting in those injections.”

The rate is down. Too many new uninvited guests?

Percentage is down because the number of invaders is up.

No misinformation about it - we just don't trust the medical community any more.

They'll say its a measles vaccine - but how does anyone know there's not something else in there? Something that will kill the kid some day?

I suspect that, forcing the dangerous and worthless COVID vaccines on the public through the force of law has had unintended consequences.

When I was kid in the 'fifties and 'sixties they only had a few mandatory childhood vaccines and autism, ADHD, asthma, etc. were rare enough to be remarkable when they occurred.

Now there are over 70 mandatory childhood vaccines and everybody is sick with something.

I do remember running away screaming .....

I remember bolting out a door when I saw the needles they were going to stab me with. I hit the parking lot with Olympic level speed, for a kid. I dived under a parked car and hid until finally discovered, dragged into the office & stabbed repeatably. I wished all adults would be carried away by the flying monkeys from Wizard of Oz.

I’m curious exactly who is getting measles ? US citizens or illegal immigrants.

When I was a kid we had a wonderful family doctor who lived in the neighborhood—a friend of the family—so when he said I needed the shots I trusted him.

The mass propaganda campaign by corrupted politicians and “health care professionals” has killed the trust.

There is no way to get it back—without Nuremberg style tribunals for the vaxx pushers.

Comment from link above:

Now in the hospital they give newborns their first vaccine within 24 hrs I believe it’s hep b ,the nurses sneak in a paper for the mother to sign when she is at her most vulnerable and she signs it for this vaccine not knowing what she signed and the nurses are trained to get the mothers to sign it

In addition, medical care has improved greatly since the 60’s and before when measles was going around.

While it’s true that measles can cause complications, there are antibiotics, antivirals, and steroids that can help prevent them. As long as the medical community has any integrity and uses them and uses them appropriately.

People are getting leery of vaccines in general after the WuHan shots killing people became generally known. Many have heard that Bill Gates pushed the shots hard while openly talking about the necessity of depopulation.

I’m old enough to remember when doctors weren’t paid salespeople for Pharma - and they cared about patients.

A recent study showed people thought the interactions with CharGPT had a better bedside manner than medical doctors.

This didn’t surprise me. I simply have come to see that as normal.
