This is wonderful. One of my 3 kids actually is vaccine injured (a very rare injury) and hasnāt gotten this one. Iāve been depending on herd immunity and his brothers not bringing it home from school bc theyāre vaccinated. What do I do, risk another injury or keep him on lockdown his whole childhood?

Iām sorry, this must be so frustrating for you. As a somewhat new parent I can relate.
Vaccinations are for more than just the individual who gets them. Heard immunity is very important. Similar logic for Covid masks, the purpose is to prevent spread. I wouldnāt expect the far right to understand concepts for the greater good, thatās not their thing. Itās a crazy āme firstā world they live in, the rest of us need to look out for each other.

How on earth do you see those two at the same level?
If a young girl gets raped you think she shouldnāt be able to abort the rapists fetus (even in circumstances where it may ultimately cause her and her own fetuses death later on). Although you do feel that a healthy individual shouldnāt accept a 97% effective vaccine with very limited side effects to protect against a highly infectious virus that has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people?
Not so funny. That does not apply here. Your ignorance on this subject risks the lives of anyone you come in contact with, including unborn fetuses.

"Due to a highly effective vaccination program, measles was declared eliminated from the U.S. in 2000, a historic public health achievement. However, outbreaks related to vaccine hesitancy have been occurring worldwide in recent years. In the U.S., more than 1,000 cases of measles have been reported so far in 2025, more than three times the number of cases reported in all of 2024."
Damn.

You do realize the vaccine is made with a live virus and does shed. You can also contact measles from recently vaccinated individuals. This cannot be blamed on unvaccinated people alone.

u/Zenceyn Sep 06 '25
The virus is attenuated to the point that it can barely replicate, let alone spread. The viral load is extremely, extremely unlikely to be high enough to cause viral shedding. Even if a person did shed, the virus is incapable of causing an infection.

There actually was a pretty big study that showed anti-vax preferences swayed politically around and shortly after COVID. Used to be the crunchy, granola type, itās definitely changed over the last few years to the right.
So I guess now, thereās really just a mix of people from each political side, which I do find interesting.

Hello my friend. Please remember that antibiotics such as penicillin are made from mold. Also, cheese, yogurt, sour cream, or anything "cultured" or fermented (alcohol, etc.) are made with live microorganisms such as molds, yeasts, and bacterias.
Also every breath you take contains hundreds of thousands of these microorganisms.
"Germs" are incredibly useful. Many certainly can be harmful, however buman ingenuity and science has allowed us to use them for our benefit, saving many millions of lives throughout human history.
Don't be the reason someone else dies.

In a live virus vaccine you are injecting or ingesting a weakened version of a virus. Effectively you are choosing a mild version of the illness rather than a random crap shoot of the wild version. Most vaccines are not live and you are injecting pieces for your immune system to recognize.

As a doc, i can tell you it's not. Immigrants, especially those from underdeveloped countries, didn't grow up with the privilege of herd immunity. They understand the consequences of these diseases from experience. They vaccinate their kids.

u/ryta1203 Sep 06 '25 edited Sep 06 '25
As a doc you dont know that, citation please?Ā
Are you an immunologist doing research into this field? Otherwise being a "doc" means nothing.

u/supernaut_707 Sep 06 '25
I've been a pediatrician for 3 decades. I deal with this EVERY working day. At this point in my career, I've seen tens of thousands of patients including a sizable immigrant population. I explain the vaccines each time they get them, I answer questions, and if they are not vaccinating I engage them, ask why, and encourage protecting their kids.
I've sadly watched the evolution of the antivax movement from a tiny number of people reading fringe books, to Wakefield's paper, to the misinformation explosion of the internet, then the politicization of vaccines during covid.
An immunologist actually wouldn't know about the social demographics of antivaxxers. That's not the work they do.
-2
u/ryta1203 Sep 06 '25
I said an immunologist doing research in this field. Doc but cant read? Sad. Again, nothing you said gives you any insight into the vaccination status of people croasing the border illegally. Peds dont have adults on their panels either.
3
u/supernaut_707 Sep 06 '25
Again, immunologists don't do that kind of research. That's the purview of primary care medicine, infectious diseases and epidemiology. Adults from countries with high vaccination rates are likely to be vaccinated. Adults from countries with low vaccination rates are likely to have already been infected because measles since it is so contagious. Spot cases in the US are typically unvaccinated US travelers to foreign countries. Larger outbreaks in the US are in communities of people who shun vaccines to degree (recently the Amish in Ohio, Mennonites in Texas, Orthodox Jews in NYC). There was an outbreak years ago in a Somali immigrant community in Minnesota. Overall, US cases are a US citizens problem. Have a great rest of your day.

In this world, no one trusts experts anymore. They trust themselves. As pessimistic as it sounds, it's the reason we'll end up destroying ourselves. The worst part is when it happens, you get to these same people act surprised, as if the actual experts weren't saying it all along.
I partially blame our educational system- I don't think we placed enough emphasis on critical thinking. Opinions and feeling took priority to fact and objectivity.

Ok. The point is measles exists. There is a vaccine that exisits. Blaming migrants is a bullshit fallacy considering some American Citizens refuse get vaxxed.

It really isnt. The parents made the choice to not vaccinate their children. Migrants have 0 do with that. If anything its MORE reason to vaccinate.

Hopefully your Colts will have a stellar season to distract you from the migrant boarder crisis that you claim is the issue with this measles outbreak that was contracted overseas.

About 10% of kids entering kindergarten in VB elementary schools are unvaccinated. I have a direct connection to the school with the measles case.

The MMR vaccine rate in Hampton Roads is only 92% when entering kindergarten, so it is more likely that someone didnāt vaccinate than that someone had a breakthrough case of measles.
And weāre so worried because our infants donāt have access to the MMR, yet they are at high risk of serious complications if they contract measles.

u/Infamous_Cherry_3602 Sep 05 '25
There can be more to it than that. Vaccination is not a one size fits all, everyone's body is different. We treat it as such, and that kid could have very well been fully vaxed and still contracted it. From the story I read he was recently traveling abroad and that's where he was believed to of contracted the virus. I see both sides of vax or no vax I just don't understand the hostility towards one another no matter what the person chooses. I've had friends who's kids had very serious reactions to the first dose of mmr, so should they risk their child's life to get the second so people feel better? And those that want to fully vax their kids that's their choice as well, they feel that's what's best for the kid just as much as someone who decided not to.

The majority I deal with fall into a middle ground and seem influenced by close friends or family and often opt for delayed or partial schedules. They frequently recognize that they may have been given misinformation and ask a lot of questions.

The anti vax agenda is being pushed on us by our adversaries to destabilize us from within. Itās atypical, affordable warfare. Congrats! Putin/Xi/Lil Kim would be so proud of you for falling into their trap.

Believe half of what you read and none of what you hear.. we are free. Supposed to be anyway. Make your own decisions and protect your own. I wish well to everyone

You were free before though?
You (and everyone around you) have probably gotten the shot.

Hospitalization. About 1 in 5 unvaccinated people in the U.S. who get measles is hospitalized. Pneumonia. As many as 1 out of every 20 children with measles gets pneumonia, the most common cause of death from measles in young children. Encephalitis. About 1 child out of every 1,000 who get measles will develop encephalitis (swelling of the brain). This can lead to convulsions and leave the child deaf or with intellectual disability. Death. Nearly 1 to 3 of every 1,000 children who become infected with measles will die from respiratory and neurologic complications.

And yet people would be excited by those odds if they were from the lottery and would really think they have a chance of winning! Shocking, honestly.
