Guest guest Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 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. Abby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 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 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.
