I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE THINK WE NEED VACCINES
Wearing asafoedita in a bag around the neck keeps measles at bay. It's a sure preventative.
If you think you need extra protection, sip some water from a holy well while walking widdershins around it and reciting the Lord's prayer backwards.

@wdlindsy@toad.socialBesides, getting measles isn't the worst thing that can happen to a child. Only 1 to 3 in 1,000 die of measles. And those who die must not have been meant to live; they lacked natural strength and were not fed and exercised properly.
For children who survive measles, the worst that can happen is that they go blind — but at least, they'll have their lives, even if they can no longer see.

Every dark cloud has a silver lining, after all. Look on the sunny side of life.
And none of these hazards compare with the gruesome damage any vaccination does.
People in the pre-modern world practicing "primitive" medicine had better instincts about all of this than we science-addled folks today have, right?

“'What is the cure for measles?' [RFKJr.] told an audience in 2021 at an Amish country fair in Pennsylvania. 'Chicken soup and vitamin A.'"

@wdlindsy Vitamin A is a problem with measles if you're deficient -- which really isn't an issue in North Americans because it's in so many of our foods. Taking extra when you're not deficient just won't impact #measles.
Prevention is best and vaccines have a great track record for this. I mean who wants to get sick at all?
@AskPippa Yes, eminent reality-based good sense — and sadly, this is not where the people now heading the US government are.

Blind, deaf, or have permanent brain damage, or die from a different disease for which they no longer had immunity
@mloxton Ah, but that's just science!
@wdlindsy My younger brother caught measles from me as an infant.
He didn't go blind, but has had lifelong vision problems.
@wood5y I can recall with one of the two measles cases I had as a child, I had extreme, painful photosensitivity, and my parents were intently worried that I'd lose my sight.
@wdlindsy I don't know about you, but I was born years before measles vaccination became a childhood rite of passage in Britain.
I also caught other diseases for which there are now vaccines (e.g. mumps).
@wood5y Yes, the same for me (born 1950). My parents would have given anything for vaccines against measles, chickenpox, mumps, all of which (except for mumps, in my case), my brothers and I caught as children. My parents were extremely happy when the polio vaccine came along in our childhood.
@wdlindsy I was born in 1955, the very year polio vaccine was introduced in UK.
@wdlindsy or have permanent damage to their hearing
