Growing vaccine hesitancy fuels measles, chickenpox resurgence in U.S.

[ironside1]

That’s deep 🤡

The Chudov commentary was based on the Rintrah article, which used data from this Science Immunology study (https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciimmunol.ade2798) to show the concerning phenomenon of rapidly rising IgG4 antibodies coinciding with vanishing IgG3 in vaxxed and boosted individuals.

And your response is a picture of a tee shirt, pretty much boasting of your grasp of science (or lack thereof).

Stick to your copy & paste safe place. Like chris and his liberal tweets, it’s really about all you’re capable of. Oh, and don’t forget your nth booster.

Your post was literally a copy and paste from your safe place.

Parents whose children are harmed or killed by vaccines should get to castrate Pharma executives and receive all their corporate profits.

They can… they can sue.

 

[Crimea River]

They can… they can sue.

Yeah. Good luck with that.

“We hold that the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act preempts all design-defect claims against vaccine manufacturers brought by plaintiffs who seek compensation for injury or death caused by vaccine side effects,” wrote Justice Antonin Scalia in the majority decision.

Parents can't sue drug firms when vaccines cause harm, Supreme Court says

A federal law grants drug companies immunity from certain lawsuits from injuries or deaths tied to vaccines, the US Supreme Court affirmed Tuesday.

This is a very stupid country. Anyone who doesn't vaccinate their children should have them taken away and be charged with child abuse. They are too stupid to be in charge of children.

Ahhhh the liberal sin tax… you guys never change your playbook… we don’t like smoking… tax the shit out of it… we don’t like drinking… tax the shit out of it.

We don't like people eating up medical resources when there is a cheap, easy solution that they declined. You want the right to make a choice but don't want to pay for it.

This is what happens when you fire police officers, fire fighters, members of the military, etc. because they refuse to take a vaccine that has proven to be ineffective and is controversial. There have been half-truths spouted and censorship from the media regarding the effectiveness and safety of the MRNA shot from the start. Demanding or at least claiming the shot was better for children than it actually is. The government and scientists need to make their best case argument and provide the benefits and risks and allow people to make their own decisions. When pushed some will push back, what do you expect in a free society?

I was one of the first pro vaccine zealots in the beginning, getting my shot as soon as possible and being boosted, and preaching to anyone that would listen to convince others to do the same. However, now I see no need. The vaccine doesn't work, it doesn't prevent transmission and there is growing evidence of negative side affects of at least the MRNA version. The claim that it prevents serious illness is specious at best. I'm now in the camp of not believing unless shown actual data. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

The paper discussed in that article showed definitively that the spike protein - the very one produced in huge quantities by the mRNA therapy - suppressed p53 activity at a cellular level. p53 is the main tumour suppressor in the body - so suppressing it (p53) is a really bad idea. Don’t do it. As explained in that article it will result in a whole host of cancers, starting with lymphomas (because T/B cells turn over faster than most other cells in the body and are directly impacted by the spike RNA).

So, now we have a problem on multiple pathways leading to the same scenario.

1. Suppression of the body’s defence against cancer
2. Suppression of the body’s defence against viruses
3. Exhaustion of the very components of the immune system that protect against those two things.

Do you know what this reminds me of?

Kaposi’s sarcoma. It’s what happens when your immune system is so depleted it can’t suppress tumours that are unheard of in people that have a functioning immune system. It’s seen in HIV-AIDS.

Philadelphia 2023

Your immune system on the edge.

How'd you get the play book? The latest edition was just passed out at least week's abortion party by George Soros himself. No way your '86 grand am got past the guards.

This is the result of years of lies from politicians, the medical community, the media.

Looking at the people that liked this post is all I need to know about how stupid people have become.

It just fuggin gets me that you can get to be like fifteen years old and by that time you should have heard through the grapevine that the freaking four term POTUS had polio because it was normal a hundred years ago, rich and poor alike. How many people have you ever met who've dealt with polio or smallpox? Not bragging, but I did a fair amount of coke we never tested during Obama's first term. Half those idiots in my really cool gang of drug enthusiasts now concerned about what pharma is putting into their body (still not so worried about Coca Cola and General Mills). I don't get it.

How many decades did loving moms use baby powder on their kids? Oops. I’m not saying vaccines don’t work or they’re bad, but we warp speeded right through a lot of the safety testing and went right into get the shot or your fired.

Our heavenly father, I pray to you to target only those who deny the great and generous knowledge you have gifted to your children to create and administer vaccines. Please spare those who believe in your great gifts.

Dumbasses:
A rapidly growing measles outbreak in Columbus, Ohio — largely involving unvaccinated children — is fueling concerns among health officials that more parent resistance to routine childhood immunizations will intensify a resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases.
Most of the 81 children infected so far are old enough to get the shots, but their parents chose not to do so, officials said, resulting in the country’s largest outbreak of the highly infectious pathogen this year.
“That is what is causing this outbreak to spread like wildfire,” said Mysheika Roberts, director of the Columbus health department.
The Ohio outbreak, which began in November, comes at a time of heightened worry about the public health consequences of anti-vaccine sentiment, a long-standing problem that has led to drops in child immunization rates in pockets across the United States. The pandemic has magnified those concerns because of controversies and politicization around coronavirus vaccines and school vaccine mandates.
ADVERTISING
More than a third of parents with children under 18 — and 28 percent of all adults — now say parents should be able to decide not to vaccinate their children for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) to attend public schools, even if remaining unvaccinated may create health risks for others, according to new polling by the Kaiser Family Foundation, a health-care research nonprofit.
Public sentiments against vaccine mandates have grown significantly since the pandemic, said Jen Kates, a Kaiser senior vice president. A 2019 poll by the Pew Research Center found that less than a quarter of parents — and 16 percent of all adults — opposed school vaccination requirements.
The growing opposition stems largely from shifts among people who identify as or lean Republican, the Kaiser survey found, with 44 percent saying parents should be able to opt out of those childhood vaccines — more than double the 20 percent who felt that way in 2019.
Adam Moore, a father of three in the Detroit suburbs, said none of his children — 9, 12 and 17 and enrolled in private school — have received routine childhood immunizations, let alone vaccines for the coronavirus or flu. He values personal liberty and says the government has no right telling people what to do with their bodies.
“I find it a hard argument when the government says we’re all for individual liberty on abortion rights and all this other stuff, but when it comes to vaccinations, there’s no such thing as ‘my body, my choice,’” said Moore, 43, an account manager for a marketing company.
Moore, who describes himself as Republican-leaning, said he does not view childhood diseases such as measles and polio, which have resurfaced in recent years, as threats. But if the deadly Ebola virus were circulating, he said, he would want his children to get vaccinated.
Other parents who oppose school immunization mandates echo long-standing misinformation about vaccines that continue to spread via anti-vaccine groups.
Bianca Hernandez, a 37-year-old dog breeder in the Albuquerque metropolitan area, described concerns about the link between vaccine ingredients and autism, a view that has been extensively disproved. She said her two youngest children receive religious exemptions from school vaccination requirements.

Support for immunization mandates has held steady among Democrats, with 88 percent saying that children should be vaccinated to attend public schools because of the potential risk for others when they are not.
Overall, 71 percent of all adults still support school immunization requirements, compared with 82 percent in 2019.
“The situation about increasing negative sentiment about childhood vaccination is concerning, but in absolute terms, vaccines remain the social norm,” said Saad Omer, director of Yale’s Institute for Global Health and an infectious-disease expert who has studied vaccine hesitancy.

Anne Zink, chief medical officer for Alaska’s health department, said that even in a state with historically lower vaccination rates, childhood immunization rates have yet to return to their pre-pandemic levels. In the years before the pandemic, about 65 percent of Alaskan children 19 to 35 months old had completed their routine childhood immunizations. By the end of 2021, 46 percent had.
“I think there is more mistrust of the government, there’s more questioning of vaccines, and we’ve been having a harder time getting people vaccinated,” said Zink, who is also president of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials.
A few weeks ago, Zink, an emergency room doctor, saw her first case of chickenpox when a young woman walked into the Mat-Su Regional Medical Center in Palmer covered in large, painful lesions. The woman said she and her family did not believe in vaccinations and told Zink she thought chickenpox no longer existed.

“I was like, ‘Well, it really doesn’t when all of us choose to get vaccinated, but you aren’t vaccinated, your family’s not vaccinated, and the people you hang out with are not vaccinated. Chickenpox has been spreading in your community, and now you’re really sick,’” Zink recalled.

In the past, Zink said, herd immunity would have protected the woman against such childhood diseases. But that protection has waned as anti-vaccine sentiment grows, she said.
To distance its push for vaccination from the current political narrative, the Alaska health department recently brought back images and language from a 1960s promotion for polio vaccination. The new social media campaign uses the vintage Wellbee cartoon and rocket — “Get a booster!” — to remind people that immunization has always been part of the country’s history.

It is too early to see the effects of eroding public support for school vaccination requirements on childhood immunization rates because federal data typically lag by about two years. During the pandemic, routine vaccination rates slipped because of school closures and because children were not going to the doctor.

The growing negative attitudes about school immunization requirements are troubling for health workers. Kentucky officials are urging that people get flu shots after six children — none of whom were vaccinated — died after contracting influenza. South Carolina officials had also promoted childhood vaccinations after two chickenpox outbreaks in March — the first since 2020 — affected nearly 70 people.
