Guest guest Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I don't know. I would hope they'd have to back it up with a lab test. Sadly, I suspect they would go just by a doctor's word--just my opinion.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I am going to guess that you are correct. And if the doctor is too lazy to report it, it never happened. All of it depends on reporting. ~ Maureen R.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 When this crisis is over, you will show her this is proof vaccines weren't needed--especially if she had rubella. Definitely don't need a rubella vaccine then (not to mention she wouldn't be able to get it for the other two because the foolish pharma companies combine them in the MMR).

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Just a silly little doctors diagnosis. They tested her blood but NOT for any measles! Just blood count and allergies. She is wanting to vaccinate her because she is so scared now. Her dad (my ex) is all for vaccines and probably talking to her about the importance of getting vaccinated. He is one of those people that get all the flu shots that come down the pike each year. . I really wish she would demand the doctors to test her for the measles. But the two doctors just discussed back and forth in the corner of the room and came up with their diagnosis of german measles. ~tam Re: measles reportingVaccinations > > > So in a case like this one, if the doctor called it in does it > counts as a measles case to the CDC or Health Departments even > if it was the wrong diagnosis.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Many of the websites of data only say 'reported' cases - not confirmed cases You cannot rely on any of the stats (and maybe never could for sure - but certainly they were better at diagnosing it in the 60's and earlier.) If vaccinated not called measles in many cases. And many don't take their children to the doctors if they do have it and not vaccinated Sheri At 07:05 AM 8/3/2011, you wrote: I don't know.
