Why don’t some parents believe the safety of vaccines?
As a medical student, I strongly support vaccination.  It works, it’s safe, and it doesn’t cause autism.  But I also understand why many parents don’t believe me and the medical community when we beg them to vaccinate their kids. Medicine has come a long way from “do no harm.”  Now we talk about risks and benefits: and none of our tests, medicines, or procedures are without risks.  Increasingly, pharmaceutical companies have been caught concealing those risks from doctors and the public. Around 2000, Merck (the manufacturer with a monopoly on the MMR vaccine that protects against measles) ...

California Infant Dies after 8 Vaccines, Family Gets Him Back from Hospital Cremated
Conclusion As long as vaccine manufacturers avoid doing causation studies, as long as this data doesn’t exist, health officials and published vaccine-promoting, peer-reviewed literature can state there is no proof vaccines cause SIDS or other vaccine injuries. How can a medical examiner be sure of which vaccine caused a person’s health to decline when multiple vaccines are given at a time? Overstimulating the immune system via vaccination can lead to a fatal outcome. Since it is proven difficult to narrow down which vaccine contributed to a child’s death after vaccination, giving numerous or combination vaccines should be a concern.

The Impact of 2-Dose Routine Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Varicella Vaccination in France on the Epidemiology of Varicella and Zoster Using a Dynamic Model With an Empirical Contact Matrix.
In conclusion, the model predicted that MMRV vaccination can significantly reduce varicella incidence. With suboptimal coverage, a limited age shift of varicella cases is predicted to occur post-vaccination with MMRV. However, it does not result in an increase in the number of complications.

Epic Response to Jennifer Hibben-White’s Rant About Unvaccinated Children
This open letter, written by Stephanie M. Curry, is a response to Jennifer Hibben-White's rant about unvaccinated children.   My open letter to Jennifer Hibben-White: I feel your concern that your son may have been exposed to measles. However, I am angry! I’m angry as hell that you blame the unvaccinated people for this exposure. Your words: “I won’t get angry at or blame the person in the waiting room. I would have likely done the same thing…you get sick, you go to the doctor. I have no idea what their story is and I will never know.” My response: I’d like to help you out here. The pe...

Vaccination Outbreak Forces Orange County To Declare State of Emergency.
Orange County - Shortly after Disneyland became ground zero for the largest vaccine preventable disease outbreak the United States has seen in decades, unvaccinated children of Orange County families overwhelmed doctors' offices and local healthcare clinics fearfully seeking immunizations against measles, mumps, rubella, whooping cough and other childhood illnesses.  This surge in vaccination cases left government officials no choice but to declare a vaccination state of emergency."Due to the actions of a few thousand heartless pseudo-anti-vaxx parents who abandoned their principles at the first sign of a little ...

The Good Thing About the Disney Measles Outbreak
Cases of measles linked to an exposure at Disneyland continue to spread, not just in California, but in several other states and in Mexico. The numbers of cases are climbing — and so are the number of exposed people who might get sick — and expose more people before they realize they are sick. Measles is extremely contagious; if someone has it, they will infect 90 percent of the people around them who aren’t immunized. It’s scary, because measles can be dangerous. 1 in 20 people who get it will get pneumonia. 1 in 1,000 will get encephalitis, a brain inflammation that can lead to seizures and brain ...

How Fraud Underlies Anti-Vaccine Claims
Discussions occasionally mention that the research has been "discredited," but that description is in fact a massive understatement. In 1998, a British surgeon, Dr. Andrew Wakefield, published a paper in The Lancet with 12 co-authors, reporting that the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine was associated with "regressive autism" and colitis in 12 children. The paper ignited and propelled anti-vaccine campaigns throughout the world. A journalist, Brian Deer, began investigating these children's medical records and found that the paper's data were largely fabricated. Of the 11 children reported as having colitis, only ...

High coverage of vitamin A supplementation and measles vaccination during an integrated Maternal and Child Health Week in Sierra Leone
Conclusion The MCHW reached >90% of children in Sierra Leone with equitable coverage. Increased reporting of mild adverse events during the survey may be attributed to delayed onset after measles vaccination and/or direct inquiry from enumerators. Even mild adverse events following immunization requires strengthened reporting during and after vaccination campaigns.

Analysis of safety data in children after receiving two doses of ProQuad® (MMRV).
CONCLUSIONS: Administration of two doses of MMRV has an acceptable safety profile in children 12 to 23 months of age. There is a small increase in the risk of febrile seizures following the first dose of MMRV as compared to the component vaccines, but the risk for any individual child is very small.

Are Vaccines Right for Your Child? Debunking the Myths of the DTaP Vaccine
Conclusion As a journalist and a mother myself, I found Dr. Lewis’s paper to be poorly written, lacking in substance and containing very few credible references. If parents are given poor information and very few facts, how can they ever make an informed decision about vaccinations? Parents are continually being lied to by the medical profession, the mainstream media, the pharmaceutical industry and world governments, and it needs to stop. How can we trust a person paid to vaccinate our children? Let’s face it – Dr. Karen Lewis is, after all, the Medical Director of the Arizona Department of Health Services. She is h...

Successful treatment of molluscum contagiosum with intralesional immunotherapy by measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine: a report of two cases
Abstract Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a common viral infection of the skin and mucous membrane that often affects young children. Generally, physical removal by surgical curettage is commonly used for the treatment of MC, but the pain during the treatment is a major problem. Thus immunotherapy using various antigens has been introduced recently. Here we present two cases of MC that improved with measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine intralesional injection. On the ground of our knowledge, they were the first cases of successful MMR intralesional injection in this disease entity.

What Causes Neck Stiffness?
Discussion The complaint of neck stiffness always makes the clinician a little concerned until he/she understands the whole history because of the potential diagnosis of meningitis/encephalitis. While this potential is always concerning, there are many other causes of neck stiffness or pain to consider that are much more common. Normal wear and tear, injury or overuse that occur in daily activities and work can cause neck stiffness or pain. Often, even in adults, the cause of the pain is not recognized. Good examples are the adolescent above, or an innocent stumble, particularly if carrying something that may cause a perso...
