Resolved Question: MMR vaccine and risk from Measles?
(Sun, 25 Sep 2011 18:03:31 GMT)
What effect did the drop in uptake of the MMR vaccine have? Shouldn't there have been an increase in cases of measles? Does the data from Norway (obviously from a small sample, see below) show potentially at least 1 in 9 people vaccinated with MMR are not protected against Measles? Would the around 16 deaths per year from Measles pre MMR have been prevented or were those people already so sick they would have died from a cold or something equally trivial? Is it worth vaccinating millions of he

Resolved Question: Department of Health requirement for MMR, is it legal?
(Sun, 07 Aug 2011 18:55:10 GMT)
This new requirement makes forced biological testing a mandate for continued employment.
I remember gettin Measels, Mumps. Rubella vaccination when I was in grammar school.
That was in 1965. Good luck finding those medical records. Now, to satisfy a new requirement I
have *no choice* but to submit to serological testing to prove my medical credentials.
What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty?
Am I the only one who feels as if their rights have been trown under the bus?

Resolved Question: Would you use vaccines with human diploid tissue (aborted babies)?
(Wed, 09 Feb 2011 05:22:35 GMT)
The fact that the Chickenpox, Hepatitis-A and MMR vaccines were developed using aborted fetal cell lines, MRC-5 and WI-38 has never been hidden from the public. The problem is that when parents go to their family doctors for vaccinations, who asks to see the product insert? Most parents want to know the risks and possible side effects. Like their doctors, parents are mostly concerned with the health of their children. And doctors, who have been administering the vaccines for years have nev

Ok, so here's the situation.

Resolved Question: MMR titer results - please help!?
(Fri, 29 Oct 2010 18:47:43 GMT)
I just got back my MMR titer results- mumps 1.06, rubella was fine (didn't give me the reading), varicella was .90. I was told that for each of these they would want to see readings >1.10.
I work in healthcare (although not direct healthcare anymore), and my employee health dept thought it was a good idea to get a titer done.
The weird thing is that as a nursing student, I had a MMR injection done in 1996. So now I am very concerned.

Resolved Question: How do people justify not vaccinating their children?

It has always baffled me that anyone can be against basic vaccines like polio, measles, rubella, and tetanus. These vaccines may be the greatest medical discovery and they have very minor side effects and very rarely serious side effect (emphasis on rare).
There has been numerous studies stating there is no correlation between autism and vaccines, but it is still somehow debated. The mercury in thimerisol vaccines is so minute, it's less than the mercury in a tuna fish sandwich. When you weig

Toxic Substances Are Needed To Make Vaccines.
Vaccines contain many toxic substances that are needed to prevent the vaccines from becoming infected or to improve the performance of the vaccine. Among these substances are mercury, formaldehyde and aluminum.[17] In the past 10 years, the number of autistic children has risen from between 200 and 500 percent in every state in the U.S. This sharp rise in autism followed the introduction of measles, mumps and rubella vaccine in 1975.
