@Northwest cinnamon, fresh squeezed orange juice and other nutrients can easily combat it. We need nutrition and vitamins and minerals not more attempts to control nature.
@Northwest for measles? Are you kidding me? All your elder family members had it and got lifetime immunity.
But to your specific question? No. Plumbing, hand washing, clean foods and not being sprayed with DDT or using arsenic or lead paint (toxic burden) stops most diseases. I don't see you screaming off a rooftop about leprosy or bubonic plague? Why? There's no vaccine for it. Let's not leave out scarlet fever that also declined without a vaccine intervention..🤔
@Peaceful You're full of shit. Measles can be overcome by vaccination. And calling deadly childhood diseases a "rite of passage" is idiotic. I spent several years living in a country where these remedies were not available, and the infant mortality rate was very high. No one in their right mind would choose that.
This is why we need mandatory vaccination, carried out by force if necessary. We need to protect stupid people from their own stupidity.
@LeopoldBloom in the package insert it says the MMR can cause atypical measles, along with encephalitis and diabetes, and it's also killed children. I will take my chances in America to have a rash for a week and lifelong, natural immunity.
You should do a bit more research before resorting to name calling. 😊
[b]Even though a safe and cost-effective vaccine is available, in 2017, there were 110 000 measles deaths globally, mostly among children under the age of five.
Measles vaccination resulted in a 80% drop in measles deaths between 2000 and 2017 worldwide. In 2017, about 85% of the world's children received one dose of measles vaccine by their first birthday through routine health services – up from 72% in 2000.
During 2000-2017, measles vaccination prevented an estimated 21.1 million deaths making measles vaccine one of the best buys in public health.[/b][/quote]
While there's no need for name calling, and people should get sufficient vitamins, the above is clear [b][i][u]facts[/u][/i][/b].
In the package insert of my wrist band, it says that under some conditions, it could kill me.
@Northwest the WHO also recommends 2 high doses of vitamin A if you get measles. I will happily let my immune system and nutrition take care of me. You want to get vaccines? Have at it.
I chose not to. I've seen enough of their damage. 🤷♀️
@Northwest actually I do. Clean water, sanitation and better eating habits is what lowered all diseases before a vaccine was introduced. You can read about that in detail in the book called Dissolving Illusions, by Dr. Suzanne Humphries.
We have no vaccine for Scarlet fever and yet the incidents of that also declined right around the same time.
We don't see panic over the 100+ leprosy cases each year in America...why? They don't have a vaccine for it.
