We Thought We Already Eradicated Measles — But Thanks To Ongoing Anti-Vaccine Beliefs, It’s Back

Federal health officials are warning that measles — a highly-contagious respiratory infection that the U.S. virtually eradicated back in 2000 — is making a serious comeback. This year is on track to have the highest number of measles cases in the past 17 years, and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) researchers say that’s likely because of pervasive anti-vaccine beliefs that have allowed the disease to spread.

The CDC investigated a decades’ worth of measles cases, including new data from as recently as last month, and concluded that the number of infections have been steadily creeping up in recent years. There used to be about 60 annual cases of measles in the U.S. But so far this year, 159 cases of measles have been reported.

Most of this year’s infections stemmed from three different outbreaks: 58 cases in New York City, 23 cases in North Carolina, and 21 cases in Texas. CDC officials note that all of those areas are home to communities where many people don’t vaccinate their children for religious reasons. The March outbreak in New York originated among Orthodox Jews, and the August outbreak in Texas was traced to an evangelical megachurch that preaches faith healing.

Altogether, the CDC’s report found that 80 percent of this year’s measles cases occurred among people who had never received a vaccination for measles — and a full 79 percent of those people cited “philosophical differences” that led them to avoid the inoculation for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR).

“The increase in measles cases in the United States in 2013 serves as a reminder that imported measles cases can result in large outbreaks, particularly if introduced into areas with pockets of unvaccinated persons,” researchers wrote in their new report. Many of the recent major outbreaks have all been sparked by an individual traveling from Europe — which is currently dealing with its own measles outbreak spreading among religious communities — who spreads measles to unvaccinated individuals.

Health experts aren’t mincing words about the potential impact of a measles comeback. “This is very bad. This is horrible,” Dr. Buddy Creech, a a pediatric infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University, said on a telephone briefing with the CDC this week. “The complications of measles are not to be toyed with, and they’re not altogether rare.”

Measles causes what can often be mistaken as flu-like symptoms, like a high fever, a runny nose, and a rash. It can be fatal in children — and even when it’s not as deadly, it typically makes kids very sick. In 2011, nearly 40 percent of the children under the age of 5 who came down with measles had to go to the hospital. Creech pointed out that many younger physicians who have been practicing since measles was essentially eradicated may not be able to recognize what it looks like.

In general, the CDC’s push to vaccinate children against once-common illnesses has been largely successful. Two decades ago, the Vaccines For Children (VFC) program began providing shots for kids free of cost, and federal officials say that helped increase the national immunization rate to above 90 percent for diseases like measles, mumps, rubella, polio, hepatitis B, and chicken pox.

But the MMR shot has been particularly controversial, thanks to several prominent figures who tout the myth that it can cause autism in children. That misconception emerged from a widely-debunked 1998 study that made the case against vaccines — and even though there’s no scientific evidence to support it, it’s had lasting effects. Many U.S. parents, even those outside of religious communities with objections to vaccines, still have some lingering doubts about whether it’s safe to vaccinate their children.

Complain about Orthodox Jewish communities and Evangelical Christians and behave like them, brehs!

why do you think so many people avoid vaccinations?

Because of a lying scientist that fraudulently submitted data suggesting a link between vaccines and autism while he was taking money from a legal team representing clients trying to claim damages from vaccine manufacturers back in 1998.....

http://www.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/01/05/autism.vaccines/index.html
​

(CNN) -- A now-retracted British study that linked autism to childhood vaccines was an "elaborate fraud" that has done long-lasting damage to public health, a leading medical publication reported Wednesday.

An investigation published by the British medical journal BMJ concludes the study's author, Dr. Andrew Wakefield, misrepresented or altered the medical histories of all 12 of the patients whose cases formed the basis of the 1998 study -- and that there was "no doubt" Wakefield was responsible.

"It's one thing to have a bad study, a study full of error, and for the authors then to admit that they made errors," Fiona Godlee, BMJ's editor-in-chief, told CNN. "But in this case, we have a very different picture of what seems to be a deliberate attempt to create an impression that there was a link by falsifying the data."

Britain stripped Wakefield of his medical license in May. "Meanwhile, the damage to public health continues, fueled by unbalanced media reporting and an ineffective response from government, researchers, journals and the medical profession," BMJ states in an editorial accompanying the work.


Speaking to CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360," Wakefield said his work has been "grossly distorted" and that he was the target of "a ruthless, pragmatic attempt to crush any attempt to investigate valid vaccine safety concerns."

The now-discredited paper panicked many parents and led to a sharp drop in the number of children getting the vaccine that prevents measles, mumps and rubella. Vaccination rates dropped sharply in Britain after its publication, falling as low as 80% by 2004. Measles cases have gone up sharply in the ensuing years.

In the United States, more cases of measles were reported in 2008 than in any other year since 1997, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 90% of those infected had not been vaccinated or their vaccination status was unknown, the CDC reported.

"But perhaps as important as the scare's effect on infectious disease is the energy, emotion and money that have been diverted away from efforts to understand the real causes of autism and how to help children and families who live with it," the BMJ editorial states.

Wakefield has been unable to reproduce his results in the face of criticism, and other researchers have been unable to match them. Most of his co-authors withdrew their names from the study in 2004 after learning he had had been paid by a law firm that intended to sue vaccine manufacturers -- a serious conflict of interest he failed to disclose. After years on controversy, the Lancet, the prestigious journal that originally published the research, retracted Wakefield's paper last February.

The series of articles launched Wednesday are investigative journalism, not results of a clinical study. The writer, Brian Deer, said Wakefield "chiseled" the data before him, "falsifying medical histories of children and essentially concocting a picture, which was the picture he was contracted to find by lawyers hoping to sue vaccine manufacturers and to create a vaccine scare."

According to BMJ, Wakefield received more than 435,000 pounds ($674,000) from the lawyers. Godlee said the study shows that of the 12 cases Wakefield examined in his paper, five showed developmental problems before receiving the MMR vaccine and three never had autism.

"It's always hard to explain fraud and where it affects people to lie in science," Godlee said. "But it does seem a financial motive was underlying this, both in terms of payments by lawyers and through legal aid grants that he received but also through financial schemes that he hoped would benefit him through diagnostic and other tests for autism and MMR-related issues."

But Wakefield told CNN that claims of a link between the MMR vaccine and autism "came from the parents, not me," and that his paper had "nothing to do with the litigation."

"These children were seen on the basis of their clinical symptoms, for their clinical need, and they were seen by expert clinicians and their disease diagnosed by them, not by me," he said.

Wakefield dismissed Deer as "a hit man who has been brought into take me down" by pharmaceutical interests. Deer has signed a disclosure form stating that he has no financial interest in the business.

Dr. Max Wiznitzer, a pediatric neurologist at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital in Cleveland, said the reporting "represents Wakefield as a person where the ends justified the means." But he said the latest news may have little effect on those families who still blame vaccines for their children's conditions.

"Unfortunately, his core group of supporters is not going to let the facts dissuade their beliefs that MMR causes autism," Wiznitzer said. "They need to be open-minded and examine the information as everybody else."

Wakefield's defenders include David Kirby, a journalist who has written extensively on autism. He told CNN that Wakefield not only has denied falsifying data, he has said he had no way to do so.

"I have known him for a number of years. He does not strike me as a charlatan or a liar," Kirby said. If the BMJ allegations are true, then Wakefield "did a terrible thing" -- but he added, "I personally find it hard to believe that he did that."

I'm not in here to go back and forth but long story short....I don't believe in vaccinations anymore.

My only son could say words on command...wave on command...very attentive etc. He got 4 shots at once on a doctor visit and literally hours after his whole demeanor changed and could no longer most of the things I mentioned. Since then he's been diagnosed with autism. My son is now 3 years old and can't say a word.

I actually have a video on YouTube of my son saying momma...waving..etc...all at 13 months. He JUST learned how to wave again at age 3.

Its a lot of things he can't do that he could do at a very young age....a lot of things he can't do that other 3 year olds can do. I struggle with it everyday and it makes me want to murder doctors who just feed you the same bullshyt that they were taught. I believe those shots messed with my sons brain somehow and caused his autism....don't care what no doctor says and I tell them to eat a dikk when they offer shots.

autism always happens like that, vaccine or not. autistics are born acting normal, then start to show signs at some point before the age of 3

as for the rest of you, you can get away with not vaccinating your kids because practically every other american has. that is literally the only reason we dont still fear those old diseases like our great grand parents used to. if the rest of the country follows your lead, we will slide backward

but i wouldnt call anybody a bad guy for being concerned. we all should be skeptical, just dont get irrational.

What were the shots? Do you even know? According to your story 4 shots gave your son insta autism. Forgive us for being skeptical breh. I also suggest you do more research ( if you haven't) on autism. Regression like this is well documented in autistic children. It isn't out the norm. Maybe you shouldn't direct your anger to men and women striving to help humanity.

If I was making money on selling hair dye that contained poison.. I would never publish a study describing the real affects of those chemicals. Especially if it was a multibillion dollar industry.

 

[Blackking]

The pediatrician... was pushing the shots... I was a fool w my first couple sons....

but this time I smarted up, (just like the most educated populations on our planet, cough) and the nurse on the low was like , "I'm so glad u guys are deciding not to do this, I would never vaccinate my kids" .

It's a shame this bish had to whisper this when the doc left the room.

Vaccines have saved magnitudes more lives than they have ruined. FACT. Can any of you vaccine haters deny this?
