I use to think anti-vaxxers where a bit nuts but now... Actually I don't, not entirely.
If you can prove you make antibodies against it, and it can't be recontracted, there is no need for a vaccine for you. And yet they might try to force it on us anyways? Not me if I show antibodies. (I hate needles)
I'm not saying it's proof but we have seen a case of stopping vaccinations and seeing an immediate drop in autism in kids. (there's no plausible explanation, might be as simple as no diagnosing)
Also I'm actually opposed to measles vaccines. It's a goal of mine to contract it if possible from an anti-vaxxer (even though I had the vaccine, I'm seriously hoping I still can). Why? Because it trigger epgienetics that make you way less likely to have a heart attack. People before 1957 are considered immune so we somehow lost that benefit epigenetically speaking and the only way to resurge it is to have measles. And if you think about the symptoms it makes sense that it affects the epigenetics of the cardio system.
Polio is always said to be a thing of the past just due to vaccines. But prenatal vitamins are just as effective (and generally speaking way better for the humans). Unknown fact, only a very small percentage of people with polio have any lasting symptoms (the ones we fear), and it has been shown those that do basically exclusively have nutritional deficiencies. I'm not against the vaccine, or for it, kinda depends on what country you are in.
Wow. Just wow. I don’t know where to begin. Let’s start here. Measles, a highly contagious viral disease, is a major childhood killer in developing countries, accounting for almost 1 million deaths every year globally. Measles virus normally does not cause a persistent infection, no animal reservoir for measles virus exists, no vector is involved in its spread, only one serotype exists, the virus is antigenically stable and vaccination with the currently used live attenuated vaccines proved to be highly effective in preventing disease. Therefore, theoretically measles should be considered eradicable
Vaccinations have 2 major limitations. The first is that many, such as measles are only 95% effective in creating seroconversion. Since immunity in a population has to be over 95% to prevent endemic measles transmission, this may pose serious problems and hence there are efforts to develop more modern alternative vaccine formulations (i.e. DNA) The second problem is immunosenescence. Sometimes an aging immune system requires booster immunizations to maintain immunity. (The good news for you is that you may get your wish to contract the disease if you live long enough!)
As far as the implications you have made about autism, reduction of heart disease risk due to epigenetics following measles infection and pre-natal vitamins and polio being more effective than a vaccine to prevent the disease, all I can say is that I’d welcome any credible data on these to support your statements. I don’t know what medical school you attended but those teachings seemed to escape me in mine. I didn’t respond to your post immediately because I wanted to research the literature however, I regret to say I didn’t find anything compelling after searching PubMed for a few hours. If you have any data to the contrary, I’d welcome learning about it.
