How many of the people in the mumps outbreak in Iowa & Illinois were vaccinated against mumps? My guess is all
372242
I heard in the news that half of the infected people were vaccinated.  It was an interview with some public health offical on NPR.  He was saying that because of this outbreak, it may be necessary to reevaluate the effectiveness of the mumps vaccine.

Please talk to your child's doctor and/or call the county Health Department for written information on vaccinations . There are also some excellent videos avail....ask them about these.  Do not get your infomation only from "hearsay" sources. People under 50 do not have the memories of the days when children got measles, polio, diptheria..and what the consequences were.  So, please get well-researched, well-documented information.  Go to webmd.com. enter  Vaccinations, children...there are several good articles to read.  It's great that you want to know more and do the right thing for your children.

Yes, that is true.

As the father of an Autistic daughter, I can say with no doubt whatsovever that the MMR vaccination trigered my daughter's Autism. She came out of the Pediatrician's office after receiving this mutiple vaccination and began banging her head on the ground, screaming at the top of her lungs. She screamed and banged her head on the ground for about a year after that vaccination. The Pediatrician said it had nothing to do with the vaccinations... He was a liar. They know and vaccinate anyway. \n\nA child's liver is not even fully developed or capable of handling the 72 plus toxins administered to a child by the the time they are six months of age. Ethical doctors in the past would never vaccinate a child less than six months of age. In addition, a child's brain is not fully developed until they are closeer to two years of age. Pediatricians know their window of time they have with children in their care is limited so they have to begin at birth administering vaccinations and keep every child they can get into their office on the deadly vaccination schedule to make a living.\n\nAt the very least a parent should not give their children any vaccinations until they are at least two years of age but I think that age five would be a better age as most Austism begin before age five. Then consider that most vaccines that are supposedly designed to prevent diseases cause more of the diseases to those who are vaccinated than occurs to those who choose not to vaccinate.\n\nIf you do the least little bit of research about vaccines, you would never abuse! your child with poison but doctors today are not ethical. Who do you think is the least likely to vaccinate their children? Answer: Pediatricians.\n\n\nBecome educated about this issue. You think it will not happen to your child...

Several members of my family can have anaphylactic reactions to certain foods and medications containing corn.  I have driven myself to the doctors with my throat swelling.  My mother has landed in the emergency room more than once. All three of my kids have the potential, but avoidance is the key.  We do carry an Epipen.

Recently the New York Times’ Lawrence Altman, the dean of American medical writers, reported that 93 children have died from the flu this season in the US. Altman states: "Thirty-three of the victims had not been vaccinated. The disease control agency [CDC] recommends vaccination for all healthy children 6 months and older."  This means that 60 of the 93 who died were vaccinated.  Would you roll the dice with odds like that?\n \n            An accomplished medical doctor recently stated his opinion, after years of research and experience he stated, "Our children face the possibility of death or serious long-term adverse effects from mandated vaccines that aren't necessary or that have very limited benefits.", Jane M. Orient, M.D., Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) executive director. As well as William C. Torch, M.D., Director of Child Neurology, Department of Pediatrics, University of Nevada School of Medicine stated,  "This data shows that DPT vaccination may be a generally unrecognized major cause of sudden infant and early childhood death, and that the risks of immunization may outweigh its potential benefits. A need for re-evaluation and possible modification of current vaccination procedures is indicated by this study."\n \nThe composition of this year's flu vaccine is as follows;\n•Ethylene glycol (antifreeze) \n•Phenol, also known as carbolic acid (this is used as a disinfectant, dye) \n•Formaldehyde, a known cancer-causing agent \n•Aluminum, which is associated with Alzheimer's disease and seizures and also cancer producing in laboratory mice (it is used as an additive to promote antibody response) \n•Thimerosal (a mercury disinfectant/preservative) can result in brain injury and autoimmune disease \n•Neomycin and Streptomycin (used as antibiotics) have caused allergic reaction in some people. \nAs well as these constituents vaccines are grown and strained through animal or human tissue like monkey kidney tissue, chicken embryo, embryonic guinea pig cells, calf serum, and human diploid cells (the dissected organs of aborted human fetuses as in the case of rubella, hepatitis A, and chickenpox vaccines).  Would want any of these vaccine constituents in YOUR bloodstream? All these constituents are dangerous by themselves what makes them safe by combining them into a vaccine cocktail?  Next time you see your doctor have them read you the insert that comes with the vaccine. Then have him/her explain why it makes sense to inject harsh chemicals into the human body and how such substances can aid the delicate immune system. \nIn order to resolve the value of flu vaccines to children, Tom Jefferson, MD, and colleagues at the Cochrane Collaboration looked at over a thousand studies. They then selected 14 high-quality clinical trials in which vaccinated children had been compared with unvaccinated children. The combined results of these 14 trials were reported in the British journal ‘The Lancet’ (2/26/05). Here's the conclusion: “We recorded no convincing evidence that vaccines can reduce mortality, [hospital] admissions, serious complications, and community transmission of influenza.” For more information you can visit, http://www.vaccinetruth.org/, http://www.gwenolsen.com or  http://www.mercola.com \n \nHere are four of the most important steps to get you started:\n1.    Focus immediately on eating properly.\n2.    Increase your intake of omega-3s with DHA and EPAs found in fish oil. Most in the U.S. are dangerously deficient in this essential fat, and this deficiency leads to a compromised immune system.\n3.    Practice good hygiene by washing your hands and the rest of your body properly. (Avoid all antibacterial soaps as they are completely unnecessary and could do you and your family more harm than good in the long run.) \n4.Also I believe that chiropractic can be very beneficial with increase a persons ability to fight diseases such

The jury is still out on this one.  It is the same disease you remember from the 50's, and while it has been controlled, it still existed in smaller numbers.  This outbreak is mostly in the college population and could indicate a need to get a booster immunization.  Time will tell.

The best place to get this answer is to ask your health care provider. They can test your child to see if he or she has the mumps immune antibodies in his or her blood. If not, then they can vaccinate.

yes i have never heard anyone having to get re-vaccinated against diseases like mumps regardless of what timescale it was done

a little over a 100, this website says more than 100, another said 113, try to search for rhinovirus serotypes, good luck

hard to say. will probably be awhile. the virus is very difficult to treat because it constantly mutates, so as soon as we develop a vaccine the virus has already mutated so it is ineffective. i think there is probably quit a bit of research going into it. its becoming more of a chronic disease, its not that unusual for people to live more than 20 years after being infected anymore (in the US anyway, africa is a different story)

Yes, I do believe there is something to the MMR link with autism. My son has autism,and I refuse immunizations, he has never received them, so I don't believe it is the sole cause of it. Some of the things you heard here are wrong. The flu shot still has thimerasol in it. While immunizations are no longer MANUFACTURED using thimerasol, it does still exist. Not only did we send thimerasol-tainted immunizations to other countries to spread autism there, we do still have it here. If you don't check with your dr., or request thimerasol-free immunizations, you still run the risk of dumping mercury into your child. The idea that all these studies 'prove' that there's no link? First, these are people who stand to lose a great deal of money by admitting a link to autism, both because of the law suits from families who have been injured by the shots, and to the people like me who will then refuse the shots simply because once you're lied to your not as likely to go back and trust again. Second, the reports that are saying there is a link, are coming from people who are in a position to conduct these kinds of tests because they were affected by autism, and want answers. I trust them more than I do a profession who used to tell patients with asthma and bronchitis to SMOKE. Now, we know better. How do we know in 30 years, after study upon study, they finally admit to the truth. How many kids were needlessly exposed in that amount of time? Also, here's one most people don't know: There was a report written by the CDC in which they admitted that the amount of mercury being put into the shots were many times about what is considered safe. That report was then suppressed, because of the panic it would cause, and because it would show people how untrustworthy they are. People need to do the research before blindly trust a system that has continuously lied to us, and change their minds from one year to the next as to what is safe or not. Oh, and the theory that the reason why there's more cases today is because of better diagnosis? Don't believe that,either. All the cases that they are looking at to say that there is a link are kids. If the 'better dx was the case, then we would have so many adults coming forward, getting tested, and finding out they have autism. Sorry, don't fall for any of that.\n   Do we know what causes it? Not really. At the same time, we can't rule anything out, either. My belief is that they are born with a TENDENCY to develop autism when exposed to certain environmental factors, like mercury exposure. In my child's case, it was brought out when we moved.

It is estimated that children actually encounter and develop immunity to approximately 100 different viruses each year, most of which are subclinical.  Depending on your child's constitution, they may exhibit some minor symptoms such as you describe.  Then a few times a year, they may really get sick with one or more of the new viruses.  \n\nBTW, the number of viruses that adult encounter/develop immunity to is not much less than children.

There was a vaccine until about Spring 2002.  It was called LYMErix but was discontinued due to very low sales and possible ineffectiveness.  I guess it wasn't popular enough with doctors!
