🚨 Measles cases are rising again. Are we prepared?

[elkegreiser]

I had measles as a kid. No problems and never had them again. I'm 83 years old. Every year their was a measles outbreak. Never heard that anybody died from it. Those were the good old days.

I suggest doing an overview of Japan’s ban of the MMR . Improved outcomes vs any risks in Japan. Effect on measles deaths, autism rates, etc.
Compare with countries using MMR.

It is a pity that the role of vitamins - particularly vitamin A was not included in your informative discussion
In cases of children who did develop measles- a severe vitamin A deficiency was identified - even the WHO indicates that low vitamin A status is associated with measles outbreaks
In today’s very poor nutrition levels in DEVELOPED countries this should be investigated and addressed as a priority I believe

I’m glad I survived the Measles when I was a small child.

Born in 55, l had measles, mumps, and chicken pox, and three of us all had each of them at the same time. My sister had a very light case of the mumps and a month later had a severe case.. A few years later, at 11 years old, she developed type 1 diabetes that her doctor thought may have been influenced by the mumps, immune system damaged.
I'm happy to say, though she suffered for so many years she is still fighting at 73
Years old

How about an episode all about Rockefeller turning oil into medicine and changing all education to sell these products?

[wilmerdavis]

What are the odds of the mmr vaccine triggering a case of encephalitis and spinal meningitis?

[lelanicampher]

It's one thing to see the symptoms in a book, another to see it in real life. A few months ago we saw a lot of children presentibg with rashes in the pharmacy (South Africa). A call to the district government clinic confirmed that there have been positive tests for both german measles and measles. It helped seeing a lot of cases to be able to differentiate between the two. Thank you for this lecture. It is very helpfull.

16:23 no direct antiviral but large doses of vitamin A are hugely helpful.

[nuegxgh]

any correlation between higher measles cases and the billions of compromised immune systems induced by the MRNA jabs?

[sylviagibson]

I had measles as a young child. I had titers drawn in the late 1990s which showed immunity towards all the childhood viruses I had.

Very interesting, thank you for sharing it with us Koolbeens 🙏🇬🇧

[paulbork]

Thanks Mobeen. Nice review of a minor outbreak of an old disease. I believe there were some 12 outbreaks of measles last year in the U.S.

[kathym]

It has been reported that a little girl in Texas died from the measles. Fact is she died from bacterial pneumonia that was known by the hospital and left untreated. She was getting over the measles when she reported into the hospital for breathing issues.

[artdoc]

I had measles as a child and was home sick for about 10 days. I survived. However, I did hear of a few cases when kids were very sick. Don't know anyone personally who died from measles.

[AriePharmD]

Thanks for another medical knowledge review.

[jewelleryaddict]

In 50 and 60s early we all had them. Never heard of anyone in my classes dying or getting very ill or another problem from having them. My mom said I had them more then once? I don't remember.

[Scott-vyzj]

I vote for Bird Flu for tomorrow. Also, you said that the inactivated vaccines usually caused atypical symptoms, suggesting that it still did something to disrupt the normal flow of the virus. So, do people vaccinated with it have reduced chance of complications like the brain swelling and pneumonia over people who've had no vaccine? Thanks for the video by the way. Very Helpful and Interesting.
