Measles deaths fall to new, incredibly low record due to vaccinations

Stick that in your needle and pump it.


Measles Deaths Fall to a Record Low Worldwide

For the first time in history, annual deaths around the globe from measles have fallen below 100,000, the World Health Organization announced this year. As recently as the 1980s, measles killed 2.6 million people a year.

The decline — a public health triumph, as measles has long been a leading killer of malnourished children — was accomplished by widespread donor-supported vaccination that began in the early 2000s.

The estimated number of deaths fell to 89,780 in 2016, but the figure was released by the W.H.O. only in October.

Measles vaccines were invented in the 1960s. Since 2000, 5.5 billion doses have been given out, according to Gavi, the Geneva-based organization through which most donors support the vaccination effort. The group works with the W.H.O., the United Nations Children’s Fund, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Red Cross, the United Nations Foundation and others.

If 99% of China is vaccinated, why do they have measles outbreaks?

Keep in mind though, the United States has this rate as well, and still has its own measles outbreaks.

Don't do facts well do you?..they come and they go...

Did you get your GUARANTEED ten percent effective flue vaccine yet?

This year’s flu vaccine might only be 10% effective against predominant strain

A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine at the end of November explained that in Australia’s flu season, Influenza A (H3N2) viruses were predominant.

“The preliminary estimate of vaccine effectiveness against Influenza A was only 10 per cent,” the Nov. 29 paper reads.

Science is a wonderful thing. It's amazing that some folks can't grasp it

 

[Danbones]

Yes you should study harder

on this subject you might also want to do some reading on the history of measles out breaks

Outspoken Vaccine Advocate States Measles Vaccine Can't Prevent Measles Outbreaks

Longtime MMR vaccine advocate Dr. Gregory Poland now says the measles-containing MMR shot often fails to protect against measles and that recently reported measles outbreaks in highly vaccinated societies occurs primarily among those previously vaccinated

The MMR vaccine is unlikely to eradicate measles globally because even after two doses, nearly 10 percent of children do not have vaccine strain measles antibodies.

science

try some some time

Way to go science!!

lol, full moon out soon?

Yay science!!!

lol this is what it says in my thumb section


Bad mentalfloss

He sure is!

Yay science!!!

yes READ!!!

You need 95 % for "herd immunity" ( which is a fraud to begin with!) but you can not get it
lol

Math is part of science you know.

 

[Cannuck]

...deaths around the globe from measles have fallen below 100,000,

Will the wonders of science ever cease?

I don't know if you're being facetious or not but I remember people getting Polio. I was part of the very first group of youngsters to be inoculated against it. It is a horrible, crippling disease that attacks healthy, vital young people and leaves them crippled for life or worse. Only a madman or an idiot can object to that sort of vaccination.

Vaccinations are a wonderful thing. Only the tragically stupid argue against them. It's funny, many that do, also argue against chlorinated drinking water and all other sorts of public health improvements. Public ridicule is the best defense against their silliness.

The tragically stupid is Walter's favourite polka group.

Wally fears vaccinations too. I can't say I'm surprised.

Yes and the Big Pharma learned their lesson from that one. A cured patient is no longer a customer. That is why almost nothing else has been cured but they have plenty of expensive drugs to keep you hanging in there and coughing up coins every month. Notice that the latest flue vaccine is basically useless but they are not handing out refunds.
All they have to do is say science and the gullible like flossy and canuk come running.

The flu shot is a big crap shoot, every year. There isn't just a "flu". There are hundreds of flus and they are constantly mutating every year. The WHO literally scrapes the spit off of Chinese sidewalks, cultures the results, takes their best guess at which one is going to spread like wildfire every year, manufactures and bundles a few types into a vaccine. It is fraught with error as these microbes mutate in a flash ... hit and miss. My father, btw, died of Influenza A one year, despite getting the jab. Did anyone make a mistake? I think not. We've become so insulated from early death by our vaccines, we've forgotten how truly deadly these diseases are.

By the way, big Pharma gas little or no interest in either inoculations nor antibiotics. The real money is in chronic diseases.

It's not diicult to see the statistical success of flu vaccinations. It just doesn't fit with some people's religious beliefs (and yes, anti-vaccers are religious kooks)

I used to work with some literal Evangelicals who firmly DID NOT believe in evolution but they insisted on getting the flu jab, every year. They were none too bright so I never bothered explaining the inconsistency in their beliefs. If there is no evolution, one jab should do forever.

Danbones,


Keep in mind though, the United States has this rate as well, and still has its own measles outbreaks.

Here in Gopherland, despite the immunizations, we have had outbreaks but only among East Africans who refuse to have their children inoculated. For some reason they are afraid of needles but fail to understand this is for their own good.
