MMR Choose nothing
Choose nothing
THERE seems to be a myth growing that intelligent, informed parents choose single vaccine shots. They do not: they choose no vaccines at all. One of my three definitely non-jabbed offspring developed measles many years ago. She was unwell for several days, developed a high fever and came out in spots. With the proper management — warm, airy conditions, pure liquids and emphatically no "doctor's medication" — she emerged with an enhanced immune system and cleared of some inherited and acquired disease tendencies. This is precisely what the eruptive illnesses are for. This has now been lost for the unfortunate mass of children: the latest Morbity Statistics from General Practice showed an average 85% increase in serious illness in children. As for the MMR-autism link, the obvious is being overlooked: the confusion is being caused by the fact that the measles vaccine is neither the only nor the original cause. The term autism was coined, in the early 1940s by the American child psychologist Leo Kanner, to describe a new syndrome which appeared in the wake of the US whooping cough vaccination programme. The UK measles vaccine was introduced in 1963, after the death rate of malnourished, incorrectly treated measles victims had gone off the graph. The only conceivable reason to push the shot was commercial: this is where the "deadly measles" fantasy came to fruition. Pat Rattigan, |
