      Before measles vaccines became commonplace in 1963, about three million to four million Americans a year contracted the disease, the agency said, and 400 to 500 died from it.

          That is not the case here in Canada. Unless it is all the hordes of unvaccinated children coming in through OUR southern border.

              How many people get sick or die from the flu every year?

              Flu seasons vary in severity. It is estimated that between 5% to 20% of U.S. residents get the flu, and it is estimated that more than 200,000 people are hospitalized on average for flu-related complications each year. Over a period of 30 years, between 1976 and 2006, estimates of flu-associated deaths in the United States range from a low of about 3,000 to a high of about 49,000 people.

                Measles vaccine acquired immunity is reported to wane in at least 5 percent of cases, within 10 to 15 years after vaccination. 4,5,6A report published in 2012 by the Cochrane Collaboration reviewed 57 clinical trials and studies that involved about 14.7 million children vaccinated with the MMR vaccine.7 Cochrane found that:

                "Based on the evidence provided by three cohort studies (3104 participants), vaccination with one dose of MMR vaccine is at least 95 percent effective in preventing clinical measles among preschool children; in schoolchildren and adolescents at least one dose of MMR vaccine was 98 percent effective in preventing laboratory-confirmed measles cases; one or two MMR doses were respectively 92 percent and 95 percent effective in preventing secondary measles cases."

                There are studies showing that measles outbreaks can occur in fully vaccinated populations.8,9,10 For example, an outbreak of measles in the spring of 1985 in Corpus Christi, Texas, occurred in a school where more than 99 percent of the students were fully vaccinated. After examining serum samples from students for detectable measles antibodies, the study’s researchers concluded that “outbreaks of measles can occur in secondary schools, even when more than 99 percent of the students have been vaccinated…”11

                      To give another prospective, my nephew had a sever reaction to a vaccination and nearly died. He was in PICU for 3 days clinging to life. I don't know if it's related or not, but he has issues to this day. He seems to have mild asperbergers like symptoms...

                            Especially considering that the link between vaccinations and autism has been utterly debunked.

                              My secretary contracted Bell's Palsy "two weeks to the day" after getting her flu shot. She is absolutely convinced it is a causal relationship, and stresses "to the day!"

                              We obviously don't know that Bells Palsy would have presented if she had NOT had the vax.

                              It does remind me, however, of the "my car was fine til you inflated the tires, now my radio doesn't work!"

                                I had Bell's Palsy once. It was freaky. Started out as a numb feeling on my tongue and spread to the whole side of my face. My doctor said it is a strain of herpes (not the sexual kind!) so she subscribed me some valtrex and it started to go away. It lasted a couple of months. I still have a little weirdness going on with my right eye though. When I am chewing, sometimes it makes my eye tear up. must have gotten some crossed nerves or something.

                                No idea what caused it though. I do get fever blisters sometimes which is another herpes virus, so maybe it has something to do with that. It's been about 10 years ago since I had it and it never came back.
