Accordingly, I have a few questions for you: 1: how old is this story? Is it valid today? 2: Do you recommend to your patients that they NOT immunize their children against Measles, Mumps and Rubella? 3: From your information, what was the Morbidity and Mortality from Measles in childhood before the vaccination program was commenced? 4: What has happened to the incidence of Congenital Rubella after the commencement of the vaccination program? 5: Do you believe that children should be subjected (in significant numbers) to lifelong blindness and heart problems ..... + other issues which are part of the congenital rubella syndrome? If you are not a qualified and fully registered medical doctor, then.... I am not sure what to say to you.+ In any event: is the author of the article you directed us to ..... Written by a medical person? BTW: everything in life has good and bad parts. The challenge always is to make a reasona le assessment on balance .... And NOT engage in extremism. jc Pardon any Typos.
