Guest guest Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 This is how the CDC terrorizes people into doing things they want them to do. The MMR not only wears off over time, it can cause serious harm. Instead of freaking out about the measles going around people should take this as an opportunity to get them over and done with instead of risking them later in life. A week or so in bed covered in spots and missing a bit of the outside world is worth life long protection in my opinion. http://www.reuters.com/articlePrint?articleId=USN01435942 U.S. reports biggest measles outbreak since 2001 Thu May 1, 2008 3:55pm EDT (Updates number with measles, adds CDC news conference) By Will Dunham WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The biggest U.S. outbreak of measles since 2001 is unfolding in 10 states, with at least 72 people ranging from infants to the elderly becoming ill -- most of them unvaccinated, U.S. health officials said Thursday. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said said none of those who caught the highly contagious viral illness has died, but at least 14 people have been hospitalized, most with pneumonia triggered by measles. There were 116 cases in 2001, and the last major U.S. outbreak occurred from 1989 to 1991, when 55,000 people got measles and 123 died. Anne Schuchat, who heads the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said she expects " many more cases this year than we had in 2001 based on what's going on today. " Public health officials have been stressing the importance of immunizing children in the face of increasingly vocal groups who object to vaccines for religious reasons or because they think the shots may cause autism or other problems. CDC officials said overwhelming scientific evidence points to the safety of the combined measles-mumps-rubella, or MMR, shot and other childhood vaccines. " We are concerned ... about the population of people who are choosing not to be vaccinated, and whether we may be on the verge of facing larger-scale outbreaks in the United States, " said Jane Seward of the CDC's division of viral diseases. The CDC said most of the measles cases can be traced to 10 people who picked up the disease overseas and then traveled back to the United States, where others became infected. The ages of those sickened ranged from 5 months to 71 years. GLOBAL PROBLEM " These cases and outbreaks resulted primarily from failure to vaccinate, many because of personal or religious belief exemption, " the agency said in a statement. The CDC said 64 cases were reported from Jan. 1 through April 25 in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. Eight more confirmed cases -- all involving unvaccinated children in one family who had attended a church gathering in the Seattle area -- have been reported since then in Washington state, the state department of health said Thursday. Those spreading measles were infected in Switzerland and Israel, both of which have larger outbreaks, as well as in India, Belgium, Italy and likely China and Japan, the CDC said. " Transmission has occurred in community and health care settings, including homes, child care centers, schools, hospitals, emergency rooms and physicians' offices, " it said. The disease causes fever, cough, redness and irritation of the eyes and a rash. Serious complications include encephalitis and pneumonia that can be fatal. Measles remains a leading cause of death among children in poor countries, killing about 250,000 people a year globally. Before a vaccine was introduced in 1963, more than half a million people got measles in the United States and 500 died annually. Thanks to the vaccination program, measles is no longer endemic in the United States, and ongoing transmission of the virus was declared eliminated in 2000. The annual number of cases since then generally has been in the dozens and caused by someone infected in another country.

The measles outbreak is reported in nine states, with at least 64 people ranging from infants to the elderly becoming ill. The CDC says the outbreaks are ongoing in Wisconsin, Arizona, Michigan and New York. Nobody has died, but 14 people have been hospitalized. The CDC says all but one of those who got the viral illness were unvaccinated or had unknown vaccination status. Measles transmission has occurred in community and health care settings, including homes, child-care centers, schools, hospitals, emergency rooms and doctor's offices. Health officials say measles outbreaks are a reminder that measles can and still does occur in the U.S. Ongoing measles virus transmission was declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000, but the risk of outbreaks from imported disease remains. Fifty-four of the 64 people sickened are believed to have received the virus from other counties, including Switzerland, Israel, Belgium, India, Italy and China.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 YOU NOTICE THAT NOT ONE OF THESE BLOODY CDC EXPERT'S SAID ONE WORD ABOUT THE IMMUNE SYSTEM THAT GOD PUT IN US!! or one word of guidance about how to strengthen the human immune system!!! every where vaccines have been introduced, the ones who die...i.e. 1871 in Bavaria, Germany. vaccination is compulsory ....out of 30,472 cases of smallpox, 29,429 had been vaccinated........this kind of insane numbers keep repeating no matter where this poison is introduced and no matter what time in history you want to look at! THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WESTERN, READ THAT AS ROCKERFELLER DRIVEN " MEDICINE " !!!........AND AS USUAL, NO ONE AT CDC WANTS TO GET NEAR THE AUTISM/ADD NUMBERS THAT HAVE GONE UP YEAR AFTER YEAR, THRU VACCINATION PROGRAMS!!! for those of you who have never heard this before, Louis Pasteur, the father of vaccination's said on his death bed, " i got it wrong " , in french of course!!! his contemporary, Beauchamp had it right!!! Pasteur believed that dis-ease came from without to the within......Beauchamp believed that dis-ease came from inside when our bodies got out of balance thru what we did and did not put in our bodies, and caused " normal " parts of our insides to mutate!.................in 1976, Dr. Jonas Salk, creator of the polio vaccine, says that the live vaccine in use since the 1960's, is the principle, if not sole cause of all polio cases since 1961!!!!! funny note here, in 1955, the state of Vermont reports a 266% increase in polio......after vaccination's..............same year, Rhode Island reports a 454% increase of polio , after vaccination's......same year, Massachusetts report's 642% increase since vaccination's the year before and bans the salk polio vaccine! and in 1956, the u.s. government makes $ 53.6 million available to states to provide " free " vaccinations to people under 20!!!!! some ways i have found to boost my immune system are; alkalize your internal terrain thru nutrition, supplement with pao de' arco tea, beta 1, 3d glucan [in my experience, the most powerful immune system modulator on the planet]......olive leaf extract is a close second, pure grape seed extract, therapeutic grade 'A' essential oils of Frankincense [my favorite], myrrh, and lavender.....these first two oils were brought to the Christ child over two thousand years ago, and there are more oils that will boost or support healthy immune function! the products from Miracle ll!!! [ these products have been proven to snuff anthrax and smallpox in government testing] Kraig ****** Kraig and Shirley Carroll ... in the woods of SE Kentucky http://www.thehavens.com/ thehavens 606-376-3363 --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
