A recent "outbreak" of measles amongst a Somali population in Minnesota has many people concerned.
32 confirmed cases of measles have happened in the last few weeks, all of them, according
to health officials were unvaccinated.
None of them, I would guess, have an autism diagnosis.
Anyway, it's not surprising that unvaccinated children caught measles- measles is a very
contagious disease and when you have no immunity, you WILL pick it up easily.
Why is the vaccination rate so low for this population?
It seems they have a very high rate of autism in their community.
As far back as 2008, people were noticing how many of the Somali immigrant's children
were being diagnosed with autism.
I can't say for sure, but I'm guessing that Autism wasn't a big problem for these immigrants
before they moved to America, a place that at one point had the world's largest indoor
shopping mall.
America also has the most aggressive vaccine-pushing state-sponsored doctors on the planet, but
I'm sure that had nothing to do with it, because we all know that vaccines never, ever cause autism.
Well- hardly ever.
I mean, in really, extremely rare cases they may trigger something else which turns into
autism, and the U.S. government may pay out millions of dollars in those cases, but in
general, vaccines don't cause autism, in a way that can hold up under current vaccine
court rulings.
Most of the time.
It's probably the malls that are causing it.
If you believe that vaccines may, in super rare circumstances, cause autism, and you
choose to take your chances on measles instead, the real question is- How dangerous is measles?
In the U.S., measles used to be dangerous and killed a lot of people.
And by USED TO BE, I mean like a hundred years ago or more.
The TREATMENTS we administered for measles back then probably accounted for many of the
Measles deaths.
What did we do way back when your kid got Measles?
Take 10cc of blood from the parent (assuming they had caught Measles before and had immunity),
give 5cc to the kid in the right cheek, 5cc in the left cheek, cross your fingers
and hope for the best.
Who cared what Blood Type the parent was?
Because they didn't really know much about it back then.
But when that kid died, it was MEASLES that killed him.
Kind of like how cause of death will always say Cancer, and never Chemo.
Anyway, because of improvements in medical care (thank you doctors, scientists and nurses-
and parents) 50 years ago, before there was a vaccine, Measles had already become a joke
"Boy this is the life isn't it? Yeah! If you have to get sick, you sure can't beat the measles"
"That's right! No medicine!"
But if history has taught us anything, it's that vaccines make diseases more dangerous.
Before the vaccine, our mother took us to a Chicken Pox party in hopes of catching the
disease.
After the vaccine, you're a baby-killer if you decide to skip that shot.
Isn't science amazing?
So we have a Measles vaccine, and that means Measles is dangerous again.
News articles always like to mention how many children were hospitalized because of Measles.
Here's Dr. Peter Hotez, Tropical Professor of Diseased Labcoats at Baylor School of Medicine
tweeting: I understand 1/2 of the Somali #measles #Minnesota outbreak kids require hospitalization?
Important to figure out who misled the community.
Misled the community?
On what?
The proper treatment for Measles?
Most of these children were hospitalized because 1) Their parents freaked out because of some
dots on their face, or 2) They were dehydrated because their mouths and throats were sore
and they were reluctant to drink because it was painful.
Back in the Brady Bunch era, when mothers knew how to take care of their children, they
would have known to watch out for these things.
Nowadays, most parent's health care decision-making skills stop and end with "do we sit in the
sick or healthy side of the waiting room?"
But those are the kinds of things that break down when you try and run a State-sponsored
healthcare system.
Anyway, I digress.
Crunchy moms and dads who actually study this stuff know that Measles burns through Vitamin
A. They know if you make sure to keep your sick kid topped off on this vitamin, they'll
recover much more quickly.
Unfortunately, Somali women and children are known to have Vitamin A deficiencies.
You can look it up.
It may be partly due to their diet, or their genetics, but either way, a Vitamin A deficiency
is an easy way to turn a run of the mill 1960s Brady Bunch era measles infection into something
more serious.
I'm curious if Dr. Peter Hotez knows this.
You would think as a public health official he might try to make it known if he does.
But like most vaccine apologists, he's too busy leveraging the outbreak to fuel more
vaccine-hysteria rather than tweeting out helpful information that might improve people's
health.
I really hope that the hard-working health care professionals in Minnesota know about
the Vitamin A thing.
Finally, let me just put this Measles outbreak into perspective for you.
Fear sells, as Dr. Paul Offit likes to say, but I'm going to try and help you get your
fear sorted out properly, because according to researchers from Johns Hopkins University,
approximately 82 people die every week in Minnesota from medical errors.
And that's just deaths.
How many people are injured every week in Minnesota from medical errors?
Hundreds?
Many people put injuries at 40 times the number of deaths.
That would mean over 3,000 injuries from medical errors every week in Minnesota.
That's 12 people, dead every day from medical errors.
468 injured.
Every day.
Some people say that's an understatement, but I'm going to take the Johns Hopkins Researchers
at face value and accept their numbers.
I have a question for you?
Are those preventable deaths?
They're not vaccine preventable.
I realize modern medicine is hard.
It's complex.
There's a lot of moving parts.
A lot of medicines available to try and save people that we might have just chalked off
the board otherwise.
So you're going to get more deaths I suppose due to medicine trying to save people when
they might not have even given someone a chance years and years ago.
I get that.
And we are saving people that would have died years ago.
I'm a huge fan of surgeons and their work- if you haven't heard me say it.
I'm in awe of what they can do.
Nothing but respect.
But in the lovely state of Minnesota, with 5.5 million people, despite heroic efforts
from medical professionals, they're still losing 82 people every week to medical error.
They are also losing 0 people every week to measles, despite much of the world freaking
out about their non-existent problems.
And that is my incredible opinion.
