    So you were lucky, like many surviving children today, but millions of children pre-immunisation were not.

    In 1999, 871,000 children died from measles or complications from measles infection. The countries with lower immunisation rates were the hardest hit. A campaign to raise immunisation levels was commenced, and resulted in nearly 500 million children receiving the immunisation. By 2004, the death toll (and infection rate) had dropped by 60%, in practical terms 454,000 children died.

    In boys who are infected with mumps and go on to develop mumps orchitis (swelling of the testes), atrophy of the teste occurs in 30%, and permanent infertility occurs in 13% of those.

    does anyone have statistics of how many peopple died of the actual vaccinations?? propaganda sounds real scary but when given both sides of the statistics it seems more children suffer death or severe reactions from the vaccines now that there is antibiotics and soap and water etc …..
    1 in 166 kids get autism now that all of these shots like chicken pox vaccines etc . my sister in law and wifes grandfather went into comas from the flu shot ….. i had convulsions from routine vaccines as an infant ……. they ain’t sticking anti freeze and formaldihyde in my baby …

    oh, so YOU’RE ok, so therefore the whole world must be??!!

    I don’t think doctors and researchers get up in the morning and say…. ‘ok, so what sort of facts shall we invent today, then…?’

    All policies and strategies result from research and statistics. of course pre-vaccinated kids didn’t ALL die and become infertile from such illness, but of course loads did.

    The ones that did obviously aren’t here posting stupid questions like yours.

    The vaccinations were brought in to reduce the number of deaths from those that did occur, to even less. Without them, who knows, maybe your son would not be as lucky as you as one of the healthy survivors.

    Sterility due to mumps generally happens when you catch it after puberty, not at 6 months. Even then it’s not 100%. Same with measles - not everybody dies, not everybody goes deaf or ends up with meningitis. But enough do that it’s not worth the risk.

    Guess you should have used a condom, brainy smurf.

    Just because certain diseases can render you infertile, doesn’t mean it happens to everyone.

    95% percent of the population would get measles before adulthood, it was a common childhood disease that was hyped up by the media. Mumps is pretty much the same as well. In a healthy person, the measles and mumps is not a threat. They will most likely just have mild flu-like symptoms, the complications are extremely rare in a healthy system. Doing a little research on these diseases reveals they are not as scary as people make them out to be. I would personally prefer my child to gain natural immunity from having the measles than give them the vaccines. Just my own researched opinion though.
