My childhood rural hometown had two girls who were born in the 1940s to mothers who contracted measles during pregnancy. One lived next door. Both infants were born with severe complications and limited mental capacities. One died at about age 16. She required expensive, around-the-clock help for her entire life. The other girl lived into her 60s with developmental issues. Her father was our town pharmacist. Neither child ever went to school. Today, measles is preventable. Today, those girls would probably be enjoying their grandchildren. Their parents died with broken hearts.

If you have an unvaccinated daughter, think about her consequences. There are 920+ active cases of measles in Spartanburg, SC, 50 miles south of me, and the number is rising by 50-75 cases daily. If you have an unvaccinated son, measles might leave him with a heart condition, or he might be left sterile.

If your kids are not vaccinated, I will gladly pray for them each night. Send me their names.

Charles, why didn't you consider that when you supported the party that imported millions of unvaccinated third world illegals?

So Charles.... do you believe all of these cases of measles are the result of white American anti-vaxxers????

Let me grab another beer and some popcorn............

Don’t touch my beer, whiskey-face

The current outbreak started in Gaines County in western Texas in the Hispanic population. Texas Department of State Health services (DSHS) reports that as few as 82% of kindergartners are vaccinated. There is myth that white anti vaxxers are the problem. Minorities get vaccinated at much lower rates.





Keith

but is there any info to suggest the disease has a racial preference? I would have guessed it'd be equal opportunity among the unvaxed.

This point confuses me, and I appeal to your collective intelligence for a logical reason. The regrettable fact that we have unvaccinated aliens among us is all the more reason why our precious children need to be vaccinated against preventable diseases. Do you disagree?

If we have another deadly smallpox or polio epidemic, would you sacrifice your child because of your politics?

Historically, the antivaxxers have almost invariably been among the granola eating hippie types, not the deplorables. It didn't become a thing for the right until the Biden regime mandated a certain experimental rna therapy.

Strange, that I had the measles and mumps at the same time as a kid.
Also had the chicken pox!
Had all the vaccines during the 1950's , as far as I know , grew up just fine.
Although there are people that think otherwise!
JMHO , Back then vaccines were tested and proven by pharmacal companies testing on animals.
And now so many in the government have stock in pharmacal companies, they'll clear anything, as long as the stock rises.
I have no doubt, that pharmacal companies , change the vaccines to cut costs, or to cause demand for a new vaccine.
Proof? The COVID 19 VACCINE.


Could it be just different people are affected differently than others?
I myself have a very low white blood cell count, and when it's normal, have an infection somewhere.
Everyone is different, can't really blame something until tests are done.
Any more , I'm not sure there's anyone in a pharmacal company that can be trusted!
Same with government.

I have to agree with you on this.
Over weight people were rare while I was growing up.
Then it was bad for everyone's health to eat eggs, butter, animal fat, whole milk fresh from the cow, and bacon!
Funny so many people lived into their 90's or more clear back into the 1700's .
Then in the 1960's people all of a sudden got cancer in much higher numbers!
Nothing made by pharmacal companies is better for you.
Otherwise we wouldn't have so many NEW DISEASES!
Diabetics , was seldom heard of in the 1950's or 60's .
Now half the population seems to have it!

My two friends who died of Covid were not overweight, granola-loving liberals. One was my sister-in-law. She left behind a disabled adult son with no income and no father. She could not even visit her 99-year-old mother in a rest home because she refused to be vaccinated. It wasn't my wife's rule, but she blamed my wife because my wife was the caregiver.

Don't search for reasons not to make healthy decisions. Don't blame others. Don't blame politics. It is in your hands only.

Enough on this thread. Good night and stay healthy.

My great-grandmother, born in 1888, was a type-two diabetic and died at home of breast cancer. Disease is not new. Diagnosis is.

Had two friends that died from the COVID 19 vaccine.
Both had bleeding that couldn't be explained, one in their brain, the other as far as the family has told me, was never found, just internal bleeding.
Strange that many that got the multiple jabs, are now dying from strange after effects.
While you're at it, please explain the rise in costs for the E pen!
I have to wonder just how much backing they get from the government!

There was no measles vaccine when I was a kid. 3 day measles was the common name for rubella. When one kid came down with it moms would take their kids to the infected kids house to play. That was the only vaccine. Pregnant women were warned to stay away. I have no problem with a vaccine for it but its not the world ending event portrayed by the media. Seems to me the odds of a kid getting getting bad side effects from measles or mumps in young children are about the same as ill effects from vaccines. Whatever people decide is their business IMO.

Illegal immigration is creating far worse problems than measles.

It is sad that your aching heart can not find a connection to WHY we have the issues you’ve been so concerned with for the last half decade…

A very reasonable and logical approach.

Ever read an old headstone of a child or adult that said died from consumption? that was the unknown diseases of type1 diabetes and cancer.

Myself and lots of kids my age had measles, mumps and chicken pox too. It was common and wasn't the big, sensationalized deal the modern media pretends it is.

But lots of folks seem to buy into that hyped-up crap.
