US Measles Increase Due to Declining Vaccinations

[Guest guest]

Dangerous words

" to deliberately give a child measles in this day

and age is not only inappropriate, but it

actually might be considered to be criminal, because it's preventable. "

Sheri

" Joanne , MD, associate chief of general

pediatrics at Children's Hospital Boston, in

Massachusetts, told Medscape Medical News that

parents' concerns about autism are understandable although misguided.

" I've been in practice for more than 20 years and

I almost never used to see cases of autism, and

now I frequently see it in children I've cared

for since birth, " she said. " There is something

in the environment ­ plastics, chemicals, who

knows. Parents are scared and looking for answers

and blame vaccines, but there is no credible

evidence linking vaccination to autism. "

Some parents hoping to avoid mandatory

vaccinations even go so far as to deliberately

expose their children to the infection at

" measles parties. " As one such mother told The

New York Times in April, " I refuse to sacrifice

my children for the greater good. "

Neal Halsey, MD, director of the Institute for

Vaccine Safety at the s Hopkins Bloomberg

School of Public Health in Baltimore, land,

told this reporter in April that " to deliberately

give a child measles in this day and age is not

only inappropriate, but it actually might be

considered to be criminal, because it's preventable. "
