5 more cases in Canterbury for Saturday!

Bringing the current "reported" total to 20.

And it continues, again in the USA:

Unvaccinated US boy almost dies of tetanus, it cost over US$1 million to save him

"The 2017 case is the first case of pediatric tetanus in Oregon in more than 30 years and alarmed infectious disease experts who said tetanus is almost unheard of in the US since widespread immunisation began in the 1940s."

"The child received an emergency dose of the tetanus vaccine in the hospital, but his parents declined to give him a second dose - or any other childhood shots - after he recovered, the paper said."

What is it going to take, Darwinism, Eugenics or both, before these selfish idiots realise they are not only harming their children directly but the rest of the population indirectly through the disruption of herd immunity. I wonder if it could be argued in court that these parents are "practising intentional genocide" of the surrounding population where they reside.

I hope the parents were made to pay the US$1 million even if they were insured, the insurance company must have a way out by saying that they, the parents, did not take due diligence in protecting the health and well being of their child.

It's great to see so many people sticking up for science! We're currently working out how Anti-Vaxxers will work in the game - we have a few ideas that we're trying out and running them through our algorithms. The biggest challenge is that if everyone in Plague Inc.'s global simulation suddenly stopped getting vaccinated then it would be a very easy game to win! On a side note, it's amazing that six years after the game was released there is still such a huge and passionate community for Plague Inc. It means a lot to us and it makes it a lot of fun to keep working on new updates!

Our country is sovereign, our State is sovereign, our family is sovereign, our God is sovereign and the most holy and sacred last frontier of sovereignty is our own body.

Dearest friends and people of Arizona, it seems we are prepared to give up our liberty, the very sovereignty of our body, because of measles. I read yesterday that the idea is being floated that if not enough people get vaccinated, then we are going to force them to. The idea that we force someone to give up their liberty for the sake of the collective is not based on American values but rather, Communist.

I have sworn an oath to the Constitution five times, now, and I take that oath very seriously. It was not just something I repeated in order to get sworn in to an office. I do not make my decisions based on my next election or what the populace demands if it violates that oath.

Folks, I am going to ask you to educate your children, educate your family, educate those around you about the fundamentals of liberty and what that means. It seems we have lost those fundamentals along the way and are chasing our fears.

And finally, I am going to demand, as a mother of an injured child from her vaccines, that we insist that we spend the time and money on discovering what in these vaccines is causing so much injury, instead of insisting on taking your liberty in the name of the collective.

Benjamin Franklin once said, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

"If you're a child, you have a fundamental right to be protected against deadly infectious diseases," he said. "Just like if you're a child, you have a fundamental right to be put into a car seat or safety belt."

👍 Wow I love that argument, wish I had thought of it. 👍

What can you even do against that kind of stupidity? If there is public support for it I would pass a law mandating vaccination with severe penalties for non-compliance. I would not even try to argue with these morons. Let them believe that the deep state conspiracy is finally revealing itself and subjecting them all to mind control. Let them believe any idiotic thing they like. But round them up, march them to jail, and stick them with a needle. No excuses, no exemptions.

If there isn't public support for this, then give up, go away, abandon the poor children to their idiot parents, and devote the resources somewhere that you can actually make a difference. I happened to see the item on the Hope Ship tonight on TV. Dedicated doctors and other staff donate their time and money to travel to severely deprived places to help people in real need. Most of these people have little or no education. They live in terrible poverty. They suffer from terrible maladies. But their appreciation of the treatments they receive is unbounded. These people are so much more deserving, and so much brighter, than the overfed western imbeciles braying at the moon about vaccination.

Twenty two cases in the South Island and counting.

So, I find myself in a horrible situation as it relates to this.

I was given the measles vaccine as a kid, which I am now told wasn't entirely effective. I am 41 and people in my age group are being advised to get a booster. Due to needing to take prednisone for another condition, I am able to take this booster, for 3 months after I finish my prednisose which I must take for 6 more weeks.

This puts me at direct risk of contracting and passing on measles in some situations! I am effectively relying on herd immunisation to protect me against this.

I shouldn't even have to be worried about this in 2019.

I'll post citations for reference in a little bit.

Where does one find out if they are in the same situation?  Being 44, I suspect I'm in the same sort of age bracket for this issue.

MMR catch-up for children at primary, intermediate or high school, and adults born in 1969 or later

We can only use documented immunisation records to determine what vaccines have been given.
No matter how well intentioned a parent or person is when they say they or I “would have had everything when I was young” we cannot use that as evidence of immunisation.
It is not necessary to do serology testing.
It is appropriate to vaccinate if you cannot easily locate immunsation records.
Vaccination is a safer option than possibly leaving a person susceptible to measles whilst they are searching for records.
In the absence of documented doses of MMR vaccine administered from 12 months of age and a minimum of 28 days apart people born 1969 or later are recommended to receive MMR vaccinations
if they don't have any documented MMR doses – give two doses of MMR vaccine 28 days apart;
if they have one MMR dose documented (administered at 12 months of age or older) – give one further MMR at least 28 days after the previous dose.
Individuals born in New Zealand prior to 1969 are considered to be immune to measles as there was no measles containing vaccine until 1969 and the disease is so highly infectious.

Basically, if you fall between those two groups, and have only had 1 treatment, you should have a second treatment. Priority is obviously Christchurch right, but the advice I am being given, is if you can get it, and you've only had one dose, get a second dose. Check with your doctor.

If you need to have a jab for a blood test, and you dont' have any evidence of a second treatment, may as well save yourself a needle, in my view :) 

And now they are 25.
