Measles booster shot just my luck

[S-3 Ranch]

Went to the doctor for my medical check and he said “ I am at high risk for measles “ and need a booster because
the army hospital @ fort Jackson where my dad was stationed before going to Vietnam , gave me a ineffective vaccination
just great , really?
necessary because my wife had a heart valve replacement, and her dad was in the coast guard and she also had a ineffective vaccine in 1967
seems unreasonable to say the least

and just now "discovering" this........sorry but I'm highly skeptical of the "EXPERTS"..........

[GarGuy]

Lots of money in vaccines. That's why RFK is hated

It’s a racket

Just say no. Done.

Ineffective since 1967?
How many cases of the measles have you had in the last 58yrs?

[DUKFVR]

Hard pass for me!

[smokin6.7]

Nope!

[BrianL]

Why does he think they were ineffective?

[BrianL]

In 1967, an ineffective "killed virus" measles vaccine, available between 1963 and 1967, was replaced by a live attenuated virus vaccine, which is now combined with mumps and rubella vaccines as the MMR vaccine

Yup, just say no. No big deal if you jeopardize your wife’s safety. I mean, who wouldn’t get thier medical advice from tbh and rfk-a dude that claims worms ate part of his brain.

The historical results of the measles vaccine are indisputable. Not every vaccine is the Covid vaccine.

Whether one believes vaccines are a racket or not, the fact is, they work, they’re effective, and they save lives. (NB: I exclude mRNA vaccines from this statement at this point.) The science behind vaccines is simple and irrefutable: you introduce a dead virus (on rare occasions a live, non-infectious virus is used) and your body generates and releases the antibodies needed to kill the invader virus. These antibodies remain active for the rest of your life.

Back in the 50s, measles actually killed people—children, mainly—if they didn’t just cause blindness or swelling of the brain and seizures. When the vaccine was developed, it became mandatory for all school children to get it. In fact, they gave them out in the schools for free, as I recall.

The reason the OP, nor any of the rest of us, has never had to worry about the measles is because this mass inoculation in the 50s and 60s all but eradicated the measles in the U.S.! That is, until the late 80s or 90s when educated, upper middle-class women decided—with absolutely no basis in science—that inoculations were causing neurological diseases (such as autism),; a mistruth that was later disproved, although the findings were largely ignored.

Today, measles is on the rise again in the U.S. The increase in the migration of unvaccinated populations from other countries has reintroduced this virus back into the population; that more and more U.S. parents are refusing to vaccinate their children has allowed this virus to spread even more rapidly.

Now, I don’t know what renders a vaccine ineffective over time or why an older vaccine is considered inefficient, but I’ll try to find out as I am curious as well. But, either way, I don’t care who’s making money off this or any other vaccine (as long as it’s done ethically and legally), I only care that it’s available to me.

In 1963 the measles vaccine was rolled out in the US. The measles death rate had already declined over 98% before 1963.....so the vaccine had nothing to do with the death rate declining. Natural herd immunity was responsible. I remember measles parties in the 70's. There was even a Brady Bunch episode on it.

Measles is not on the rise again in the US. Its flat, flat, flat since 1985.
