It costs a hell of a lot more to treat a child with complications from measles than the vaccine

Given that the chance of severe adverse reaction to the vaccine is >1 in 1,000,000 and that even a non-severe measles is extremely unpleasant you owe it to your kids to get them vaccinated
So is it >100,000?
>10000?
>100?
Glad you like to throw dice with your childrens health when the side effects are widely publicized

So why does Pharma rely on the US govt to set up a fund for adverse reactions complications. Surely that risk should be carried by the Corps/shareholders?

Good point, I have had the feeling through this thread that this is just a warmup for the ebola vaccine that is right around corner. Can you imagine the shame game that will come with that?

Mandatory ebola vaccine coming soon and will be forced on everyone eventhough we have proven that prevention and treatment work just fine.

The problem is that many want to make it mandatory for everyone.

I'm 57 years old and when my brother got the measles I got them and both my sister's did too. When he got the mumps, I got them and so did both my sister's. When Jimmy came home with German measles(rubella) guess what? ' These diseases are highly contagious. If you're within a few feet of someone who has it and you've never had it yourself you will get sick not might Will. Unless you've been vaccinated that is. Not quite the same thing as my chances of getting hit in the head with a brick which are pretty unlikely. However if I ride a motorcycle I will certainly wear a helmet. I have to bet the odds.

Did you say that an advanced race is laughing at us?
Yes.
And so we should what? Take what you say seriously?
Like that statement? They laugh?
Who they? Martians? Little green men? Who's laughing at us?

The "mild case" of measles and mumps you can get from the vaccine can most definitely be spread and is contagious.
Incorrect.
There's a great deal of false information out there. The "mild measles" some people attribute to the vaccine is a rash that appears very similar to the disease, sometimes accompanied by a fever. It's not contageous.
