Measles Warning To Parents |Sky News|UK News
my kids have been protected agaisnt MMR so im glad i got them done, we all know why its come back , because of parents not giving it to them in fear of Autism:rolleyes:, which i think personally is a load of rubbish!:( measles can be life threatening!! |
Re: Measles Warning To Parents

|
Re: Measles Warning To Parents
i would if i where you lolly, better to be safe than sorry, reece had his when he was a baby too and i dont regret it for one moment
|
Re: Measles Warning To Parents
well all my kids had their mmr at 18 months old,but i refused the second mmr for 5 yr olds,because i think that the first mmr was enough,2 of my kids were in hospital after they had their mmr,they both reacted to the injection so i refuse to let them have anymore and i dont think that parents should be blamed for not giving there kids the mmr if your gonna get measles then your gonna get them wether youve had the mmr or not,i dont understand why parents who dont let them have it are to blame
|
Re: Measles Warning To Parents
I think that parents have a right to make an informed choice.......and there are many so called minor ailments that be life threatening in the appropriate circumstances.
I grew up before there was any vaccine for measles and there were lots of us who had the illness and survived. |
Re: Measles Warning To Parents
I work in a local residential home for people who are deafblind & have severe learning difficulties. All five of our residents are as they are as a direct result of their mothers being in contact with rubella in the early stages of their pregnancy, it really opened my eyes when I started work there and while I don't want to be the harbinger of doom I really think that if parents can see what rubella can do they wouldn't hesitate to have their kids vaccinated.
|
Re: Measles Warning To Parents
Rubella is different altogether....and girls should be vaccinated to prevent such incidences.
|
Re: Measles Warning To Parents
these things happen wether you have been vaccinated or not and they always will, you also take a risk by giving your child the vaccine,its swings and roundabout to who gets what in life,
|
Re: Measles Warning To Parents
I am fortunate in that I am never going to need to make the decision about whether to have my child vaccinated, but if there was even a 1% chance that My child would be left autistic from being vaccinated then I would not do it.........measles may kill, but I guess I would take the chance of that.
Autism is for life. Personal choice! |

You can all google the information yourself I am sure .. can't be bothered to put this in my post, but can't understand selfish mothers who do not allow their children to have this injection, for the sake of society as a whole. Also, in your past profession, think you have to have proof of this injection or immunity before they let you loose on the hospital wards ... should think so too. |
Re: Measles Warning To Parents
Katex, It hasn't been disproved either.......There was one death recently from measles (last year I think)......while there may have been no scientific proof that this vaccine is causative of autism there is much anecdotal evidence from parents whose children became autistic after the vaccine.
And as I said, it is very much personal choice. As for my medical background, well it doesn't mean that I must agree with everything that is done...or would opt for some of the treatments that are given. Like anything else I make an informed choice. You also grew up in the era where there was no vaccine, how many people do you know who were brain damaged/died as a result of having this illness? (just a question - you understand) |
Re: Measles Warning To Parents
Oh....I should say at this point that I am not against a single vaccination against measles.

My daughter was born pre-MMR and her and her and her little close friends contracted measles (think she was around 3 years).... believe me I was very scared. She was very very poorly with high temperature streamy noses and swollen eyes .. I never kept my eyes off her the whole way through. That is why seventeen years on I had no compunction in allowing my son to accept this injection. My daughter now, amongst her duties, is responsible for giving these injections to children and so far has experienced no autistic systems from any of her little patients. |

Re: Measles Warning To Parents
Katex, if the government were serious about their concerns for children, they would make it easier for the parents to opt for the single vaccines....the fact that they don't, makes me feel that somewhere along the line there was some kind of financial deal with the drug companies (who have a lot of clout)...obviously i have no proof of this...it is just my cynical mind......parents have voted with their feet, and that should tell the HPA something.
How would you feel if your child was damaged after a vaccine was given? Isn't Autism a form of brain damage? As I have said i feel grateful not to be in a position to have to make the choice. I am certainly not advocating that parents take any notice of my views. I think all parents should research the subject, and only if they feel perfectly safe with the decision they should go ahead and let their child be vaccinated....if they have any doubts at all then I would suggest they find a clinic that will do the single vaccinantion (of course, they will have to pay for this). I distrust a lot of the information that we are fed from government sources. According to the government ther was no 'Gulf War' syndrome...yet previously healthy servicemen and women were damaged by the vaccinations that they were given prior to service in the gulf......OK, it may not be exactly the same...but very similar. |

The measles outbreak talked about above is certainly going to catch some of the children who have not had the injection, and hope that all will be well. |
Re: Measles Warning To Parents
Yes, our children are the most precious things we will ever have......and we have to do our best by them (as we see it at the time)....and I'm sure that is what most responsible parents do.
Those who choose to take the risk of the illness over the vaccination do so because they believe they are doing the right thing, and I don't think any of us have the right to argue with that. |

Re: Measles Warning To Parents
just found this on kids health website
Remember that measles is very rare, and a child who is properly vaccinated is extremely unlikely to contract the disease. so it is still possible but not as i was told |

Re: Measles Warning To Parents
I was always under the impression that a vaccination gave you a small harmless dose of the disease that your body's antibodies could fight off and that then gave you a head start on fending off the real thing if you ever came in contact with it.

Re: Measles Warning To Parents
mind you they said it for every injection my kids had,but im still not letting my kids have anymore of the mmr,but thats only because 2 of my kids had a bad reaction with their 1st,im not against any parent who gives their child the vaccine nor am i against parents refusing the vaccine,at the end of the day the parents do what they feel best for their kids

Re: Measles Warning To Parents
Katex.....as I have said in a previous post, I have no qualms with vaccinations per se.......I just think that parents are very wary of a vaccination that may trigger bowel disorders and autism......as i also said in a previous post, if the government really had child health in their interests, then they would offer the single vaccine to parents who find the MMR unacceptable.

Re: Measles Warning To Parents
I have met 2 mothers (both fairly local to Accy), in the last 10 years who lost their first child to measles. These women weren't foreigners, they where white, British, and had always lived in this country.
The original research for MMR was heavily flawed, so much so that many of the researchers have distanced themselves from it, at least one of the researchers has faced proceedings by his professional body. New research (Rodgers, C. 2006) is now linking too many Ultrasound scans in pregnancy with Autism.... Will this stop people from having scans? I don't think so....:) Vaccination is a personal decision but one which needs to thoroughly weigh the pros and cons of the relevant research and not rely on the media's sensationalist interpretation of the research. |

Do you think that tactic would stop smokers as well?......I mean seeing someone gasping to breathe and in pain.....my experience is that it doesn't help at all.
Measles may cause problems with some children - but then so do vaccinations. Parents must weigh up their own childs needs, and make the decision purely on that. I wonder how many children the health visitor had seen, who had encephalitis caused by measles. |
Re: Measles Warning To Parents

I wonder what would happen if they put pictures of children with encephalitis on MMR leaflets with a caption that warned people this is what can happen if you don't vaccinate. |
Re: Measles Warning To Parents
Lilly I watched my father die an agonising death with terminal lung cancer......I have five brothers, all of them smoked at the time and vowed after seeing dad die in this way, to give up the cigarettes.
How many do you think actually managed it? NONE! I am not against vaccination for measles, but I am against the MMR.......Parents who are really worried about their children getting measles should be able to access the single vaccine more easily....and for the government to pretend they care about the health of children is laughable.....if they did care they would reinstate the single vaccine once they saw that parents were genuinely worried about the effects of MMR on some children.....the fact that the research may be flawed doesn't reassure parents at all. How often do we see research articles one week which say one thing, and then a few weeks later the research article says quite the opposite? I distrust government information, and I distrust research articles because I know that some researchers will bias their findings to prove what they want to prove.... a bit like statistics really, how they are portrayed can make a lot of difference. I am just glad that I have no young babies and am not now likely to have any. |

I don't think they do know what causes autism but if your child has it then you would naturally look for something to blame. I think that the MMR got the blame because the signs of autism aren't so noticeable until the child is 18 months old which is also the age the child has the MMR so people might jump to the conclusion that MMR was the cause when it wasn't. |
Re: Measles Warning To Parents
You would think that in this day and age a simple blood test would indicate if a child was likely to have any adverse reaction to any vaccine they were likely to have. After all you can now have test to check if you are susceptible to certain diseases, so surely if there is something in the MMR jab that is known to cause autism a simple blood chest when a baby is born would alert medical staff to the problem and the adverse affects could be avoided.
