This mom wants you to know what measles did to her baby

Alba, who was 11 months old at the time, had a fever that soared over 107 degrees Fahrenheit. Her eyes were swollen shut for days, and doctors had to give her medicine to prevent her from going blind. She couldn't eat or drink and had so much trouble breathing, doctors had to put her on oxygen.

And the doctors, since they'd never seen measles before, misdiagnosed her repeatedly, sending her home, where she became sicker and sicker.

After Alba left the hospital, her mother described her illness in a Facebook post.

"Get your children vaccinated," she wrote.

The inevitable backlash from anti-vaxers followed.

"They said I was a bad mother -- that if I had just breastfed longer, she wouldn't have gotten measles. They said the photos of Alba were fake, that I'd made her up. They said I was an actress and getting paid," Moss said. "Some of the comments have been absolutely disgusting, and they've come from other parents, other mamas."

Why are anti-vaxers and anti science working so hard to bring back disease?

I don't get it.

Anti-science and anti-vaxers. Hmmm... Perhaps you should ask Al Gore and Robert Kennedy Jr.

I predicted this crap back in 2007 after the Live Earth concert. They were the keynote speakers who got up on stage together spewing their scaremongering anti-science rhetoric, with dollar signs in their greedy beady little eyes.

I remember telling my kids that everything Al Gore and Kennedy Jr. were saying was bullshit. I actually saw it as an excellent teaching moment. I dug out the actual "scientific" papers from both Nature and the Lancet that they were blathering on about from the attic and quickly debunked them for my benefit of my kids.

And this was a couple of years before wikileaks disseminated the climategate emails which proved that Dr. Michael Mann's article was not merely shoddy science, it was actually fraudulent.

It was also several years before the Lancet retracted Dr. AJ Wakefield's fraudulent "scientific" paper linking the MMR vaccine to autism in children.

Of course, everybody here is likely familiar with Al Gore pushing junk science regarding CAGW, but what is less well known is that Robert Kennedy Jr. was a high dollar trial layer who represented the parents of children with autism against the manufacturers of the MMR vaccine.

First impressions mean a lot, and the first impression that millions of millennials got regarding these issues came directly from those two greedy dishonest scumbag Democrat politicians.

That is why we have millenials like AOC scared shitless that the end of the world is nigh. That's why we have millennials who think the MMR vaccine will give their kids autism.

They are victims of left wing "science".

I know right? Where do people get these ideas?

One million species at risk of extinction, UN report warns

Can there even be that many species? How did 16 million individual animals even fit on an ark two thirds the size of the Titanic? That must mean they don't exist and never have. Only Republican science teaches the truth. We learned that from Donald Trump. The most honest man in the world.

Spoken like a true disillusioned former Christian.

Let me guess, you lost your faith when you were about 13 years old, correct?

I have faith. I just don't believe in the occult.

The story of Santa makes more sense than the story of Noah.

What was the purpose of making that strawman argument?

You're coming along just great. I'll give your post an 8/10 because you didn't mention "right-wingers", "conservatives", "white nationalists", "home-schoolers", "Republicans", or "preppers."

Now you are just taunting him...

Yeah sure.. Another clueless leftist.. What PERCENTAGE of border crashers are apprehended? That number puts the UNVACCINATED ones at about 20,000 a month right now...

Cuz I knew you would. Those are the people who are anti science.

I think it really got going under Republican Fav Michelle Bachmann:

You saying there aren't many documented cases of spontaneous MAJOR physical issues right after vaccinations? There are.. Needs to be resolved. It's a LOW NUMBER, but you leftists LOVE yourselves a ZERO RISK utopia... Dontcha? This one AINT a partisan deal.. There's as many Demo voting Jews in NY City that refuse vaccines on religious grounds for their kids as folks like that mother talking to Bachmann...

Go look it up...

 

[Dekster]

Too young to be vaccinated. We aren't talking about the freaking Black Plague or an exotic genetic disorder. How is it possible that American medical school graduates aren't able to diagnose freaking measles.

If you had read the article, you would have readily seen that this was in London. More to the same point, however, is that if the city has seen 100's of cases since last fall in the city, it seems improbable that it would have been misdiagnosed a month ago.

What does it being in London have to do with anything. With the ignorant being able to link up on the Internet, they spread their ignorance. You think measles in London are less dangerous than measles here?

Measles outbreaks continue to grow in US, Europe

Vaccinations are not mandated there.

Immunizations
Despite challenges in accessing basic primary care services in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, each country reports high immunization coverage among children. Vaccination coverage in El Salvador varies from 90% to 93%, depending on the vaccine, while vaccination coverage ranges from 93% to 98% and 88% to 93% in Guatemala and Honduras, respectively19. El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras administer vaccines in accordance with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Expanded Program on Immunization.

You're pretty much a moron to take UNDEFINED and UNQUALIFIED statistics from the WHO and declare that you are smart... On the first page of search hits for Honduras child vaccinations -- I found this...

Didn't even get to measles, rubella and the other goodies in OTHER Cent Amer countries.. Don't quote final product statistics meant to make countries look good without reading the details of WHAT they are reporting..

Mumps Outbreak Declared in Honduras

Mumps Outbreak Declared in Honduras
Honduras launched MMR vaccination program after 5,100 confirmed mumps cases

September 21st, 2018 – Honduran health authorities have declared a mumps outbreak, with over 5,100 cases reported since January 2018.

Additionally, the Honduran Ministry of Health said ‘that there are currently 3,266,931 adults within the country susceptible to mumps because they never received the MMR vaccine as children.’

Tens of thousands of U.S. citizens visit Honduras each year for study, tourism, business, and volunteer work. But, the Honduran government lacks the resources to address crime and violence fully, says the US State Department.

On September 20, 2018, the US State Department issued a Level 3 Travel Advisory, saying travelers should ‘Reconsider Travel’ to Honduras, due to increased risks.
