Once again convinced that vaccinations are necessary. I can't understand who benefits from the campaign to discredit vaccination? It's not just talk, it is a well organized company which is distributed all over the world.
You didn't look closely at the article just above your post? "Knit Somali immigrant community" who probably don't have good hygiene, and certainly not benefits of vitamins and other good nutrition.
Get the nutrition and hygiene you need, and you won't need vaccines that threaten your life in other ways.
BAD, I'm disappointed in you, you're making assumptions
Because they are Somali immigrants, they most likely don't have good hygiene and proper nutrition?
These immigrants were all located in Minnesota, a part of modern day America, and aren't all first generation. Let's examine a different article on the same topic I posted a little earlier:
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/measles-sweeps-an-immigrant-community-targeted-by-anti-vaccine-activists/Somali children living in Minnesota once had vaccination rates as high as or higher than their peers, said Kris Ehresmann, director of the Minnesota Department of Health's division of infectious disease epidemiology, prevention, and control.
But in 2008, Somali-American parents started to notice that lots of their children were enrolled in the school system's special program for children on the autism spectrum. They were alarmed; many did not recall seeing cases of autism before coming to the United States. This community seems pretty Americanized, they were even attending community health events where people were selling them on not getting vaccinated. Shit, I've never been to a community health event myself, but, that might just be my failing
Moving on:
A perception started to take hold in the community that something had changed. Non-Somalis who oppose the MMR vaccine fed the fear with frequent trips to speak to parents. The discredited British doctor Andrew Wakefield - who first proposed a link between vaccines and autism in a study later found to be fraudulent - has come to speak to this community at least twice, Ehresmann said.
The result: Only 41 percent of Somali children in Minnesota in the 24-to-35-month age range have received MMR vaccine, she said.
"What's very striking is that when you look at before and after that point in time, and you can see the impact that the anti-vaccine groups have had on the community," Ehresmann said.I gotta figure out that text in box thing you do BAD, it looks so much more fetch than the bold I use.
But anyway, just food for thought, I'm not coming at you.
