A Herald article on Feb. 6 about the measles outbreak, “U.S. measles count rises to 121,” brought to mind an earlier call for mass immunizations.
It is fascinating that in a nation of more than 300 million people, 121 cases of measles causes a knee-jerk reaction calling for mass immunizations, including sanctions for those that oppose having some substance injected into their bodies.
Statistically, 121 cases out of a population of more than 300 million are insignificant — noise.
Curious that this “measles epidemic” dogs the heels of the CDC having to admit that the 2014-15 flu vaccine was worthless.
If only there were some science-based evidence about the efficacy of immunizations it would be one thing. However, no such science exists. If some good citizen can point out verifiable “science-based evidence” it would be refreshing.
We are supposed to take on “faith,” of all things, that this works and is good for us. Forgive me if I am skeptical. Salesmanship simply isn’t science. I’ll save my “faith” for other things.
It is odd that substances that have no safe level for the human body according to the EPA are regularly used as adjuvants to vaccines. Materials like mercury, formaldehyde and aluminum, although classified as toxic when studied alone, are somehow mystically transmuted into safe substances when shot directly into the body through a needle by a “medical practitioner.”
I eagerly await all of the science, even the less popular research to speak for itself.
