#Measles cases are surging in #Europe and the #US

30 years after Wakefield’s discredited study linking #MMR #vaccine & autism, we badly need an injection of rationality

It’s the most depressing conspiracy theory there is, not because the impacts are so much graver than some cranks who believe the Earth to be flat, but because #vaccination is the most concrete proof of how much we rely on one another’s care and rationality

Parents urged to get children vaccinated after measles death of a child in Liverpool #UK #NHS

“Uptake of the #MMR vaccine has fallen in the past decade with rates across England now at 84%.

In Liverpool, only 73% of children aged five have received the necessary two shots, while parts of London are below 65%.

To ensure herd immunity vaccination rates must hit 95%.”

"'The Vaccine Education Center says that "the cells used to grow viruses for vaccines are sometimes called fetal cells because they were originally derived from two fetuses in the 60s, but fetal cells are not in the vaccine itself." These original cells have been replicated over time, and current vaccine production uses descendant cells, not any tissue from the original fetuses.'”

"RFK Jr. gave an interview [today] on the measles outbreak and the measles vaccine: 'The MMR vaccine contains a lot of aborted fetus debris.'

Newsweek: 'The MMR vaccine is produced using human cell lines that originated from two legal abortions in the 1960s but these cells are not present in the final vaccine.'"

#RFKJr and #health agency falsely claim #MMR #vaccine includes ‘aborted fetus debris’ | Robert F Kennedy Jr | The Guardian

This man may once have been a harmless crank but he is now a serious danger to #PublicHealth. With no formal medical training, he is the head of the US health department. I shouldn’t really be surprised; it seems to me that a qualification to be in #Trump's cabinet is that you have to be incompetent and unqualified.

…Over the past decade, #Texas has administered 5.6 million doses of the #MMR #vaccine through the program…. #NewMexico has received nearly 364k doses of the MMR vaccine over the same time period…

TX ofcls said on Tues that the state’s #measles #outbreak had grown to 624 cases, including 64 who were #hospitalized. 2 unvaccinated #children with no underlying #health conditions have died in the state, including an 8-year-old girl…

A PSA:

If you are RURAL in the USA and interested in getting up to date with vaccines:

Make sure to CALL THE PHARMACY before you schedule.

If you want am MMR vaccine (Measles/mumps/rubella) PLEASE START SCHEDULING NOW.

My local pharmacies do not carry MMR.

Even some doctors' offices do NOT carry MMR. You'll probably have to go to a pediatric clinic and wait a MONTH because they are busy.

Please start scheduling your MMR shot/series NOW.

In case any other #parents of small kiddos are wondering (worrying),

If you have a #toddler , you don't have to wait until they're 4 to get the second #MMR #measles #vaccine ! You can get it done early, as long as it's been at least 28 days since the last dose.

We're taking our 2.5 year old in for their second dose on Thursday.

"If an adult or teenager has not received the vaccine series, two doses are administered four weeks apart for the maximum protection of 97%. One dose confers about 93% protection and could be considered acceptable in low-risk adults.

Adults born before 1957 are presumed to be immune from naturally occurring infections as a child.

If you are unsure of your immunity levels, talk to your doctor about checking via blood test. If antibody levels are not detected, your doctor can advise if the MMR vaccine is appropriate for you."

"That may sound like a lot of bad news, but protecting yourself and your family from measles isn’t complicated. The best protection against measles is through the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine or the measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) vaccine.

“One dose of MMR vaccine is 93% protective against measles,” Donahue explained. “After two doses, this protection increases to 97%.”

The first dose of the MMR vaccine is recommended for children aged 12-15 months. Children should receive their second dose at age four."

#Measles is a highly #contagious respiratory illness that can be life-threatening to anyone who is not protected against the #virus.

Doctors say the best way to protect against the #disease is with 2 doses of a #vaccine, which is usually administered to children as a combination measles-mumps-rubella, or #MMR, vaccine. 2 doses of the MMR vaccine prevent more than 97% of measles infections, acc/to #Texas #health ofcls.
