MMR critic warns of measles epidemic

[Guest guest]

What is wrong with getting the measles as a kid???? I had them as an adult.

Both my sons had them, one had an MMR and the other didn't. The one with

the MMR had really red eyes and a high fever. The one without was barely

even sick - if his MMR brother hadn't had them I wouldn't have know he was

even sick. Someone please explain why the doctors/governments keep

insisting that these shots are necessary? And it's not like one shot

lasts for life. But if you have measles once, you are immune. So wouldn't

it be better if doctors/scientists focused on figuring out how to develop

the kid's immune systems to the point where if they got measles, it was mild

and were immune naturally for life??? No money in that, I guess.

I liked one particular comment:

" Whatever happened to taking your kids to the one with measles so that they

would catch it and be immune forever? When I was a child my parents took me to

every sick kid's house they knew. I am know immune to nearly everything, no jabs

required.

I have to wonder about the person who wrote the following:

Both of my daughters have the MMR jab and are perfectly ok. I wound rather

deal with the risk of autism than have one of my children taken to hospital

with one of the viruses. I think autism is better to deal with than the

thought of a child dying.
