Measles Epidemic So Bad Washington Asking Federal Government To Get Involved

Washington state’s health secretary called for a national education campaign Monday in reaction to a measles epidemic that has viciously spread throughout the Pacific Northeast.
Health secretary John Wiesman asked the federal government to initiate an education campaign to combat what he and medical experts allege is the spread of harmful false information emitted by a small but powerful group of persons opposed to vaccines, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.
Wiesman attributes much of the outbreak to false information disseminated by “a very well-organized and connected group of a small number of folks who are having a huge impact,” according to the Post. The health secretary has asked the government to push health experts and health-care providers to educate the public about the importance of getting vaccinations.
Debunked theories that vaccines cause or can cause autism have led to parents’ decisions not to vaccinate their children.
Measles is an infectious viral disease that causes fever and a red skin rash. The virus can be dangerous and even fatal for young children, according to the Mayo Clinic. Symptoms do not appear for roughly 10 to 14 days after exposure to the virus.
The outbreak is the worst the Pacific Northwest has seen over the last two decades, the Post reported. At least 75 persons, most of whom are children under the age of 10, have retracted measles in recent months.
Portland, Oregon continues to suffer a public health emergency after health officials confirmed in late January that 23 people had contracted the virus and one person was hospitalized, the Post reported in a separate article.
Measles is “one of the most serious infectious diseases known to humankind,” according to Peter J. Hotez, pediatrics professor and dean at the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College. The virus has become the leading killer of children following the eradication of smallpox in 1980, according to the Post.
People have stalked and even threatened to kill Washington state legislators who’ve proposed measures restricting parents from opting out of immunizations for their children, according to Wiesman.
The number of unvaccinated U.S. children under two years of age has quadrupled from 0.3 percent to 1.3 percent since 2001, the Center For Disease Control And Prevention reported in October. 2018 saw the second-highest number of measles cases since the start of the 21st century, according to a CDC report.
Meanwhile, New York, West Virginia and Texas are considering bills to loosen restrictions on vaccine regulations.
The CDC maintains that there is no relationship between vaccinations and autism. “Many studies have looked at whether there is a relationship between vaccines and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To date, the studies continue to show that vaccines are not associated with ASD,” the CDC wrote on a research page updated April 26.
A Monday study of over 650,000 people reports there is no link between autism and measles, mumps and rubella vaccines.

HEAD FOR THE HILLS – Nobody died …. and ONLY ONE PERSON actually had to go – to hospital …. QUOTE FROM ARTICLE
“Portland, Oregon continues ….. to suffer …. a public health emergency after,,,,,, health officials confirmed in late January (Drum Roll)
- that 23 people (Yes just 23 people … out of 650,000 … living in Portland) had contracted ….the virus
- and (just a laughable) ….ONE (single) person ….was hospitalized,
the Post reported in a separate article.
ONE … (Repeat Just ONE) … Person….. Went To Hospital with … measles
- and (no don’t laugh) …. Portland is (quote) …
“suffering …. a public health emergency” (unquote) ….. Emphasis An EMERGENCY By Just …. ONE PERSON HOSPITALIZED !!!!
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
FFS Get a grip on reality – and STOP spreading >>>> BIG Pharma FAKE HYPED – FEAR PORN like this. (1 person hospitalized)
ALSO
FACT – Deaths from measles …. FELL 98% between…… 1900 and (NOTE) >> 1963
Deaths had ALREADY fallen 98% …. THEN the vaccine was introduced afterwards … ie vaccine was introduced >>> IN 1963
Check it then think about it …. why introduce a vaccine ….. when the disease deaths …. had already FALLEN 98% on their own
They don’t tell you THOSE TRUE FACTS – Do They
NEXT – think … WHY NOT ??
It’s on measles for Chrissakes. Why all the hysteria?
It is a typical run of the mill childhood disease. Kids get sick for a few days then they are back at school.
In fact, the way kids are now it doesn’t even interrupt their lives, being as kids no longer play outdoors and would rather stare at monitors for their entertainment and social life.
Next thing you know everyone will go into hysterics when kids baby teeth get loose.
