Why Are Vaccinated Kids Getting the Measles?
Posted By Dr. Mercola | November 02 2011 | 108 views
Measles cases have greatly increased in parts of Canada and the United States this year. Although the linked article below blames unvaccinated children and teens for driving the high numbers, it also notes that a recent investigation into an outbreak in a high school in a town found that about half of the cases were in teens who had received the recommended two doses of vaccine in childhood.
In other words, many of the cases were among those whom health authorities would have expected to have been protected from the measles virus. Conventional medical wisdom states that the measles vaccine should protect against measles infection about 99 percent of the time.
CJAD Health News reports:
"So the discovery that 52 of the 98 teens who caught measles were fully vaccinated came as a shock to the researchers who conducted the investigation ... If other groups confirm what the Quebec investigation found, it could mean there is a lot more susceptibility to measles in the vaccinated population than is currently being assumed".
