RE: Vaccination Is Not Immunization: Immunization is Long-Term, Vaccination is Short-Term
Right now adults are spreading measles and mumps, because their vaccines have worn off. To be consistent with your beliefs, you should be insisting that all adults (other than those like myself who have had measles and mumps) MUST get the booster every 2 years or so. Because right now those vaccinated adults pose as much risk of spreading measles as unvaccinated children do.
My point is that measles is the mildest as children. But now we see regular outbreaks of mumps amongst vaccinated college students! And pretty soon there will be senior citizens who no longer have natural immunity to measles or mumps who will start coming down with it at a very dangerous time of life.
I believe that the whole idea of vaccinating for measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox was poorly thought out as to the long-term consequences.
We have postponed the almost zero risk of a child being damaged by those illnesses (in developed countries) onto age groups that are much more vulnerable. The vaccinations have also made fetuses and newborns more vulnerable, because in the past their mothers had real immunity that protected them.
then adults should get ther boosters and protect them. Likely healthcare workers have to, like the flu shot
At least you are consistent in your beliefs. Most adults would refuse to get all those vaccines though, so I don't see how this "herd Immunity" will ever be achieved unless all the adults get onboard. I just don't see adults volunteering for continuous jabs. So until then, there isn't much point in forcing other people's kids to get them either.
I dont think there is much promotion and informing on some boosters as is the flu vaccine.
I remember getting the chicken pox, looking it up now there is vaccination for it...the rate of infection matched the rate of everyone being born. is a vaccine preferable to that I dont know.
