Recent "scare media" reports would have us believe the measles is a deadly 'disease', and our governments are reacting to any surfacing of measles infections with quarantines worthy of an Ebola outbreak.
However, prior to the release of the vaccine, measles was thought of as being relatively benign - requiring only a few days of rest before being completely free of the infection, while getting the benefit of lifetime immunity from future infections.
So why is measles currently treated as a deadly modern plague while the last generation used it as a plot device for comedy on sit-coms? Is all the panic really justified?
Join us for a fascinating discussion of the measles, including the media and government's overreactions, mandatory vaccinations, as well as actual health BENEFITS of natural, wild measles infections and new research involving therapeutic uses of the measles virus in fighting cancer.
And stay tuned for Zoya's Pet Health Segment, where she talks about reading cat behavioral cues.

My younger sister had German Measles (Rubella). Several years later, when working in healthcare, I worked on a unit that had close proximity to a neonatal unit, because I had never had German Measles, I was required to have Rubella titre, it showed I had been exposed and that I have a natural acquired immunity.
Seems to me that all those parties in the 50's where mothers decided that there children get together and possibly receive a dose of the childhood illness going around may have been ancient wisdom, helping the child acquire natural immunity.
Now heaven forbid, it would be considered a criminal offense...go figure.
He probably got it from school of just playing around with other kids, who knows, it is also a relatively benign illness, as the old saying goes "off color for a few days" then back to school as normal.
Now most mothers would take their child to the doctor, thinking all sorts of horrible diseases, after looking it up on the internet at the most trusted sites.
It has was around for years in as I remember in the 50's and 60's, in fact I haven't heard about it for years as a childhood illness recently, I do remember some myth, maybe that it could cause male sterility.
Yeah, I had measles. I seem to remember it was considered normal, routine, whatever, at the time.
"The measles are coming! The measles are coming! Recent "scare media" reports would have us believe the measles is a deadly 'disease', and our governments are reacting to any surfacing of measles infections with quarantines worthy of an Ebola outbreak".... and more bs. fact is measles kill more or less 150 000 humans every year worldwide: [Link] so why all these ridicoulouse statements about "vacchine are in general dangerous to people"/not helpfull? sott thinks people should be able to cope with a few 100 000s deaths per year? (aka be able to take "a screwdriver in the eye once-and-awhile whitout complaining")?
basically i think this article is a good example of low intelligence / or bad intent "journalism". so, in this case i was not intending to be humoristic, just sarcastic.
"adjective (of a person or an animal) tending to react quickly and strongly to things"[Link] could fit. but most people i know would probably say i have more of the characteristics of a lazy person
Thats a LOT more death FROM the vaccine, than from measles.
I thnk it would be great if you listened to the show, and let us know what you think of the actual shows contents!
and how many of those measles related deaths are due to malnutrition, something mentioned in the show which you haven't listened to I would guess. How may deaths in North America? maybe one? two? How many deaths due to the measles vaccine in the USA? "Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), including 459 related deaths, 6,936 hospitalizations, and 1,748 related disabilities. Over 50% of those adverse events occurred in children three years old and under. However, the numbers of vaccine-related injuries and deaths reported to VAERS may not reflect the true number of serious health problems that occur develop after MMR vaccination." [Link]seemes you have better track on those questions than me, and for what i know you might mainly be correct. but claiming "many of those measle deaths are due to malnutration (and poor general health care?) seemes far fetched. might apply to us, but where those deathts occure, they would probably not have happened (at those actual times) without measles. that is simply how the world is
Thats a LOT more death FROM the vaccine, than from measles.i guess the point by this is stating that vacchine is dangerous, -do not work(?) well, in a population where 9x% are vacchinated, disease will not have good chance to spread. hence it makes good sence from a purely egoistic perspective to avoid vacchine - given it have even microscopic chance of bi-effects. "leave that risk to the others" - while harvesting the benefits of "the others" taking the vacchine/risk (even how small). do you doubt that the vacchine works(?)
I think it would be great if you listened to the show, and let us know what you think of the actual shows contents!i tried to, but after 5 minutes (felt like hours) of cozy robotic insinuations, i got hives all over and had to shut it off. i cant take it that amounts of bs, sorry about that.
In recent years there has been a shortage of measles vaccines in Ukraine. Vaccination rates had dropped to 31% in 2016 and were the lowest in Europe. And yet there were hardly any cases of measles. In 2017 sufficient vaccines became available for a 'catch-up campaign' and 90% of the children in Ukraine received the MMR. Since then there has been an explosion of cases of measles. The number has already surpassed 12000! Why is the media ignoring the current outbreak of measles in Ukraine? And what is really going on?[Link]
As a kid at a doctor's or school, they'd simply ask my Mum, and eventually me, ' Have you had all of the usual childhood diseases? meaning measles, mumps, and chicken pox?" The answer was always yes. Only much later - say around 1984? - was the question modified to ' Have you had, or been vaccinated for , all of the usual childhood diseases?Was what I've described commonplace elsewhere? Have you other SOTTfolk had similar? or different? treatments? I ask because we lived in small towns during those time frames,and no long established cities and I wouldn't be surprised to hear that other folks had more than just a smallpox vaccine. (I guess I had a polio vaccine, too.)
How did I get them? Some kid would come down with a relatively weak case of the those three diseases, and, as I recall, usually around the beginning of summer school break, we'd go play at the other kids homes. (From age 4-6 we lived in the Mojave Desert and had no neighbors to speak of. After that, we were in Florida from 1966? forward, where there were other kids around.) It was only later that we learned from our parents that was how we'd gotten them*. I am sure that getting those diseases that way is a far more effective and permanent way to get them behind one in this existence.
It surely seems that the vaccines for smallpox and polio made sense, but more and more it seems that almost all, or literally all, of the rest have been the Med & Big Med & Pharma industries 'piling on' for sheer profit; the Hippocratic Oath be damned.

* My Mum even told me and my little sister - about when I was 17 and she was 15 - that 'You kids wouldn't even be here if they'd come out with the pill earlier." We all laughed our asses off! (Hell, my parents were always straightforward with us, and helped teach us the value of looking at life with a sense of humor.
