Oh dear....     this is a thread killer...         You think you can avoid all diseases by drinking clean water... 

I don't agree with you Richard. There is no such thing as a measles virus.

 

Drinking contaminated water is one of the biggest killers in the world.

Toxins in water don't cause measles; it's a viral infection. The symptoms are your body's response to the virus, not some "toxin elimination." Vaccines prevent measles—science, not pseudoscience.

I don't know what has caused the outbreak of measles that is the subject of the OP. If I was on the ground, directing operations, I would look at environmental factors; including water contamination.

 

One things for sure; it is nothing to do with a phantom virus.

 

IMO, all vaccines are simply a money maker for Big Pharma. They don't do anything but put poisons into the body.

Dr A Wakefield is a fraud.   His research has been debunked.

He certainly is no fraud Mike. A very well respected doctor.

 

His research has been debunked eh!? By whom? People who don't want the truth coming out, and disrupting their money making streams.

Measles is not a disease. It is a set of symptoms that manifest themselves due to a number of possible things. Generally the culprit is toxicity of one form or another.

And when a specific individual suffering from this set of symptoms travels to another community, somehow that 'toxicity' now occurs in the new community?   LOL

Illness is not infectious. Show me evidence that shows me that it is so.

 

I know of over 200 studies, many by the US military medical establishment, that show illness/sickness/disease could not be passed from one person to another. 

 

There is belief based on flimsy evidence, or none at all as in the case of viruses, and there is the truth; based on nature. You choose. I'll choose.

A child is dead from measles

"A little child is dead. From measles. In the United States. In 2025. They were unvaccinated and otherwise healthy, making it the first casualty of the West Texas measles outbreak—and the first measles death in the U.S. in a decade. One death from a preventable disease is one too many.

...

• This didn’t happen randomly. West Texas has pockets of alarmingly low MMR vaccination rates. In the area where this outbreak began, one in five children is unvaccinated. Measles spreads like wildfire in unprotected communities—it’s the most contagious virus on earth. On average, one infected person will spread it to 12–18 unvaccinated people. [emphasis added]

• ...

• Measles is not just a rash. While many children recover from measles, some die of pneumonia caused by the virus. Measles can also lead to deafness and brain damage, and it can wipe out a huge fraction of immune memory to other diseases, like the flu, leading to an increase in all-cause deaths years later. The risks of infection far outweigh the risks of the vaccine, as the New York Times shows beautifully below."

There is nothing of the sort. Documented? What does that mean. There is no such thing as a measles virus. Except in a computer.

 

''You are either stupid, trolling or mentally ill. Which is it?''

 

What I am bud; is correct. Simply parroting the Big Pharma lines will not get you there Sir. Nature has the answers we seek.

So.... why don't you donate some money to research to find a 'vaccine' against speeding, DUI, road rage, stupidity, impatience, helmet aversion?

I think @Harrisfan makes a good point. Why is the measles news getting so much coverage?

 

I'll tell you why. Because the vaccine hesitancy has dented Big Pharma's profits. Got to get back on track!! What better method to use than 'fear'.

In 1963-6 I had measles along with the other 2000 kids in my school. There were zero fatalities or complications. So are you telling up us kids a much weaker than Brit kids?

Really?! Wow! So by that analogy, just because you and the other 2000 kids in your school didn't die, everyone else must have survived, too? That's just silly. Just go over the numbers again: 4 million anual cases in the US, 450 fatalities! Do you know the other 3,997,549 people who got it that year, as well?

But you weren't forced...  you could have opted out.

 

I recall opting out of the TB vaccination when I was 11 years old at school....    and took it later before travelling overseas.

 

So as an 11 year old child, YOU decided not to take the vaccine, or your parents decided that for you?

 

Correct - at school we were given the option to take the vaccine or opt out.

 

I took the vaccine a few years later at my GP along with other vaccines needed.

Research suggests that older fathers may have a higher likelihood of passing on certain genetic mutations to their children, which could contribute to an increased risk of autism..... 

...  But go head, blame that on a vaccine.....

 

 

The probability of older fathers siring genetically weaker children was apparently recognized as far back as 200 years ago.

 

Charles Kingsley referred to it in his historical novel, "Hereward the Wake".

You're mixing your melons and its been explained to incredibly clearly.

 

Measles is the disease caused by the by the Morbillivirus....

Morbillivirus is the virus that causes the desease called Measles....

 

- I don't know how that could explained to you any more clearly.

Dr Vin Gupta don't know what he is talking about. Or maybe he does but is being handsomely recompensed for spouting nonsense..

I don' wish to bring other disagreements in from other threads... 

 

But, neither do you believe the world is an Oblate Spheroid (a globe) instead believing earth to be 'flat with a jaggedy base'...

 

As such, with the utmost respect I can muster on a personal level and none-whatsoever on an intellectual level - any further entertainment of any discussion with you is completely futile because the points you wish to debate drag the discussion down to the utterly preposterous.

 

When you refute basic proven science - you refute the sound fundamentals from which to enter intelligent dialogue and only the preposterous, the ridiculous, and the utterly idiotic remain as potential discussion points...    Its a total waste of time and not even entertaining as a troll...

Again, you've relied upon your survivorship bias, this is a cognitive error where you have focused on the "survivors" of a group and ignored all other factors... In this case you have ignored the factor that your 'group' is incredibly small of 2000 kids.

 

There are approximately 10.63 million school age children in the UK.

 

The projections below show with and without the MMR vaccines.

 

In Summary:

Without an MMR vaccine it is likely that 95 children in the UK would die of Measles, with the MMR vaccine, its projected that 1 would..

 

Without an MMR vaccine it is likely that approximately 100,000 children in the UK would be hospitalised, with the MMR vaccine, its projected that approximately 100 would..

I'm actually relying on my well fed, clean drinking water and healthy lifestyle as protection for me and my family against trivial disease.

 

You're probably one of those people that thinks the world is overpopulated, so I'm surprised you want more to live!
