MMR vaccine

It was the first time they...

And then the MMR stuff and Andrew Wakefield's discredited and deeply dangerous claims that there was a link between the vaccines and autism.

These were the first times that the words appeared.

So when you first had an idea of this word, what did you think it meant? What did you think an autistic person looked like?

They barely have half of their population vaccinated.

So according to health officials, the MMR vaccine, measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, is estimated to have a 5% failure rate.

Really? I don't think so.

What does the science show? We know what the pundits said, but remember when COVID came along? No, we have, if we get 60% herd immunity and we're all safe, then it was 70 and 80, 90, never.

The vaccine is not working.

So, then in comes the Cochrane Collaboration, a world-renowned independent organization that evaluates the medical literature or the efficacy of any given drug, vaccine, or medical intervention.

And it reviewed the scientific research on the MMR vaccine on several occasions.

In one review of 60 prominent studies, Cochrane concluded, quote, the design and reporting of safety outcomes in the MMR vaccine studies Both pre- and post-marketing are largely inadequate, end quote.

Right.

So they said, OK, we can give you the MMR.

And they in the test group didn't die when they gave him the MMR.

So then they gave him the DDP or whatever DEP and nobody died.

But they didn't do any kind of coordination to see if, well, what happens if you took this one and didn't take this one?

President Trump just signed an executive order.

Basically ordering Kennedy to present a plan to break up the shots on in vaccines like MMR to single disease versions to pursue other adjuvants besides aluminum to give parents the choice.

You know, do they want their kids to have the shot or not and not to have their education held against them? and also to order attorney generals to support challenges to state laws that undermine religious freedoms.

This is huge.

So, you know, these are all the infancy vaccines.

Later on in early childhood, the MMR, which includes the mumps, measles, and rubella, the varicella, the chickenpox vaccination, hepatitis A, along with some of the boosters from the other ones earlier given, like the DTaP and hepatitis B.

And then later in adolescence, we'll talk about the reasons for giving the DTaP, the HPV, which is really important in preventing cancers, when the adolescents, they start to become more sexually active, and the protection against meningococcal infections, meningococcus, which is a very dangerous bacteria, you know, that could be life threatening and cause a lot of morbidity.

And especially when young kids go off to college, when they're in dorm rooms, it's almost like it was like the military when they're in close contact with each other.

Pennsylvania has become a major epicenter with more than 1,300 cases, over 250 hospitalizations, and five deaths, heavily impacting local Amish communities with low vaccination rates.

In response to the surge and similar outbreaks in states like New York, Utah, and South Carolina, health officials are strongly promoting MMR vaccination, which has driven a noticeable rise in immunizations across affected areas.

Yeah, because not getting vaccinated is dumb.

Because we've known vaccines work for 250 years.

When you look at something like measles vaccination, we've heard about how there's this decrease in uptake.

and decrease in trust in the MMR vaccines, that decrease almost entirely on one side to be an ideological spectrum.

And the data here in Canada, very, very similar.

One of the strongest predictors of whether you're hesitant or whether you haven't got vaccinated is your political identity.

There's zero evidence of that, like zero.

There never has been.

The MMR vaccine does not cause autism.

We have no evidence to support that claim.

And now that's when we see these things kind of start to tick back up.

Health professionals will tell you, including the Ohio Department of Health, the two doses of the MMR vaccine, which is measles, mumps and rubella.

Two doses of that are 97% effective at preventing measles.

You can get these through your local health department, including the Pike County General Health District.
