Measles: Just Thinking Out-loud
« on: February 03, 2015, 06:23:27 PM »
With the recent uptick in measles and for all intents and purposes has been eradicated in the US for the past 25 years; I was wondering if the resurgence comes from the gaggle of illegal immegarant children that came across our southern border in Q1 of 2014.

Just thinking out-loud here...

 Since most of the cases are in California, I would assume so. That explains how it got here, but so many people don't get vaccinated any more, leaves them open to it.
Just like polio is returning

I have been thinking along those lines Jmac, but not ready to make the call just yet. It would be interesting to see a correlation showing where the cases in 2014 and 2015 are in relation to the locations that the regime dumped the illegals.

The disinformation site (CDC) claims that there were over 600 cases in 2014 and over half of those were from an outbreak in an Amish community in Ohio. Most all the media reports have been local news. I've read that thru 30 Jan 2015 that this 2015 outbreak is about 102 cases in 14 states. They're saying Disney in Cali is ground zero.

They'll blame it on travel and other stuff to try to diffuse it.  Hard to say whether the superbowl hype week brought this to a national level of awareness or not with Arizona being a affected state. But we're a long way from the number of cases from last year..............if all are being reported.

It's interesting that I and all of my friends had measles in our youth. It was kind of right of passage. I also had chicken pox at one time too. My mom use to have to put a bath towel over the mirror in the bathroom so I wouldn't see myself.  :zombie:

Thinking back, the only people who were adversely affected were pregnant women. If a women caught measles while pregnant it was close to a 100% probability that their child's IQ would be under 100.

I also remember our house being put under quarantine; complete with a pink notice affixed to our front door.  ;D

I wasn't allowed to play with my best friend, Douglas Damforth. But we kept in touch via walki talkies we had received for Christmas. The doctor came to our house too vs. me going to him.  :dancingBanana: I felt so special   8)

Hey brat, you and I are about the same age; did you have similar experiences?

I had 'em and back then when we came down with a bug, mom used to make the sisters get it and vice versa. She said it was easier to just take care of everybody all at once instead of it dragging on over weeks and weeks one at a time. Had an aunt bring a cousin over during the pox to get it out of the way. I guess that'd be child abuse now... Only time that "rule" wasn't followed was with the mumps. My dad never had them, so he went to neighbors for some days. Mumps, so I was told,  were harder on older folks than young ones. Being more rural I suppose, we didn't have that quarantine thingy other than self imposed. Everyone on the "party line" would find out and word would get around to give some space.   

Doc did make house calls and a quick call on a "party line" about any "needs" were met by the neighbors or family. Stuff usually got dropped off at the porch or milk house if it was "valuable" and they didn't wanna get as close as the porch. No one ever went in another's milk house, that was messing with your livelyhood.

All the country stores down here had credit books where you could get stuff and they'd log it and you'd sign it. If you traded with them, then they'd have a book with the family name on it. You used "the book" in between checks or crops for stuff that couldn't wait. Then when you got a milk check or sold your tobacco or traded eggs or whatever, you'd pay on it. If you were laid up and needed an errand run, you could call the store and tell 'em JohnnyMac was coming to get xyz for you and put it on your book and you'd just drop it off on the way by. Neighbors or family would come out for chore help, drop off meals, and things sorta just got took care of.

Tried to get my regular doc get me shingles vax and he said I was too young but gave me pneumonia.  All the rest have been had and vax for them.  Spent the pennies for those that I could re-get about 25 years ago and went through a complete re-vax program.  Was headed to Mexico for about 2 weeks with a fair amount of study and classwork in some of the more rural and likely villages.  So bring them on, I will stand back and watch the newbie liberals who believe they are worthless die from them.

I think you take the anti-vaxxers - give it a few years to soak in to increase the susceptible population.  It's only a matter of time.  I would guess it is likely a legal immigrant would have better access to regular medical care.  A refugee, a traveler who had a vaccination that didn't take, even an illegal immigrant could start the dominoes falling.

if you choose to trust a B grade movie actress and not a medical doctor... or the majority of the AMA or the ABP or any of several follow up studies...   Or world history...  Well I see Darwin can still add bleach to the gene pool.  It does sadden me to see people who rely on heard immunity pay the price though.
