Yeah, they are really forcing the vaccines in schools now. Here in Washington state they mandated last year that if you didn't provide proof of vaccines you would not be allowed to return to school in the fall. Supposedly children are better able to handle chicken pox than adults, and I believe that's true. However, it's obviously not the harmless virus that we were told as children. I was born in '78 so I was exposed at an early age and I recall being absolutely miserable. Luckily I didn't get the measles like a lot of children did in the past year or so.
@achillea - to me this isn't an issue of believing doctors. First of all not all doctors are bad people. There are actually medical professionals on this forum who are open-minded, but just like if you worked at a company and there were rules at the company you'd be forced to abide by them or you'd be fired. If you'd spent half a million dollars on your education to become a doctor, would you really be in a position to stand up to the authority of a.) big pharma b.) the almighty insurance companies c.) the FDA and other federal departments that would take your license without blinking an eye? Unfortunately doctors are people like you and me who got duped into buying into an ideal of helping people by basically becoming a slave to the system that allows them to do that. It's like saying all military people are evil because the powers that be are basically forcing them to do their bidding. Doctors are pawns.
If your issue is with vaccines, how about these apples? (Regarding measles)
"These estimates are the result of statistical modeling undertaken by WHO. Each year, the model is adjusted for the entire time series – from 2000 to the current year. This year’s modelling shows that there were 9,769,400 estimated measles cases and 142,300 related deaths globally in 2018, decreasing from 28,219,100 cases and 535,600 deaths in 2000. In 2017, there were 7,585,900 estimated cases and 124,000 estimated deaths."
In 2018:
"in the African region, there were 1,759,000 total cases and 52,600 deaths;"
"in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, 2,852,700 cases and 49,000 deaths"
"n Southeast Asia, 3,803,800 cases and 39,100 deaths"
Of course none of the deaths actually occurred in the United States, so no one cares!
I had chickenpox probably about 1978. My only memory of it is standing on a chair at the kitchen counter helping myself to the bottle of calamine lotion to rub on the itchies. About as miserable as mosquito season, so break out the DDT!
Deaths from measles don't occur (very often) in the United States because we have incredible sanitation and decent healthcare. Perhaps we should spend more time forcing sanitation and healthcare on countries instead of democracy.
