(32,324 posts)Born between 1945 and 1964, so 450 kids dying of measles each year is a drop in the bucket. Yes a tragedy for the individual parents and siblings, but a drop in the bucket.
Looking at stats for calender year 2007, 185 kids died of asthma, which many see as being vaccine related. (Which is why I took the time to put up the excellent study about how the IgA in vaccines becomes IgE which then can serve as a trigger for lifetime bouts of asthma,some of which end up being deadly.)
When you add in the concerns that real researchers (that is researchers who are not tied into producing the results the Big Pharma firms make the other scientists adopt) you have to note that there is a sharp increase in cancer rates, an increase in autism, an increase in MS later on, and you see that we certainly have not improved things - we have substituted an entire nation of kids being chronically plagued with everything from learning deficits and ADHD, migraines, narcolepsy, paralysis, cancer and many other ailments to avoid the 300 deaths a year we might see from the measles.
As far as being debunked, I see a lot of ad hominem attacks but no one here who has the logic to refute me.
