Measles Resurgent Due To Fear of Vaccination

florescent_beige writes "In the September Mayo Clinic Proceedings, Gregory Poland, M.D. writes that 'More than 150 cases of measles have been reported in the United States already this year and there have been similar outbreaks in Europe, a sign the disease is making an alarming comeback (abstract). The reappearance of the potentially deadly virus is the result of unfounded fears about a link between the measles shot and autism that have turned some parents against childhood vaccination.'" This follows the recent release of a massive review of studies into the side effects of vaccination, summarized here by Nature, which did not find convincing support for the idea that MMR shots caused autism.

Stick to getting to your tits out please and leave the science to the ugly people.

Cheers.

Obviously, it's the act of having someone film you while naked that causes an increase in your risk for giving birth to an autistic child.
My science proving this fact is as sound as that used by those who claim immunizations has anything to do with it.

So you're saying the vaccine makes people stupid?

If only those parents...

would take their children to get Chiropractic. Big pharma wants you all to get vaccinated with their live specimens of the Measles, Mumps and Rubella viruses so your body can learn to deal with these diseases, but it already knows how. It's just being prevented from doing so by poor alignment, non-organic foods, subluxation, voodoo, bad mojo and pesticides.

Chiropractic can save lives, just like homeopathy, acupuncture and faith-healing.

Science has killed natural selection.

That's natural selection's fault. It should have adapted.
