    It may be a recognized effect by conspiracy theorists, but not by scientific evidence.

    I'm sorry, you've been if face palm territory for a while now.

    Many people used to think that the earth was flat. Perhaps there are people who still think that. This doesn't mean that this is on an equal footing with scientific evidence. People can report that the earth is flat, feel that the earth is flat, and offer an argument that the earth is flat based on anecdotes from their personal experience, but that does not make the earth flat.


    ok, do you have evidence that a tetanus shot has sterilized women?

    << According to the NY State Department of Health a whopping TWO out of
    20 people infected during a measles outbreak were children whose parents had opted not to
    vaccinate. This, of course, means that 18 of the people infected WERE vaccinated.

    The mainstream media still somehow blames the outbreak on a decline in vaccinations.>>

    I rest my case and encourage you to please, please get all the vaccines you want. "Smart" people really want good things for this country and we're on our way! (Ahahahaha!)

    Ok, I actually visited the NY State Department of Health website
    http://www.health.ny.gov/diseases/communicable/measles/fact_sheet.htm

    I didn't find any reference to the statement you listed.

    What I did find was this:
    Now, even if it is accurate that only 2 out of 20 people infected during "a measles outbreak" * were children whose parents had opted not to vaccinate, that does not mean that the remaining 18 had been vaccinated. The remaining 18 people could be:

    - Children under 12 months of age, because children are not vaccinated before 12 months of age

    - Adults who have not been vaccinated (including people who thought they were vaccinated but weren't)

    - Children who have only had one dose of measles vaccine (the second follow-up dose is given to children at 4-6 years of age)

    if any people in this alleged outbreak got the measles even though they got the vaccine, it could be because they have a compromised immune system (for example, someone with HIV, etc.)

    So if unvaccinated people are 22 times more likely to get the measles than the vaccinated population, it's quite possible that 100% of the people in the outbreak that you described were unvaccinated.


    *(you don't specify when this outbreak occurred and I have no reason to believe that your stats are correct since I don't see a specific reference on the NY State Department of Health site)

    Your suspicions turned out to be factual.

    Six of the nine children weren't vaccinated (66%), four because their ages were less than 12 months (which made them ineligible for the vaccination) and two because their parents chose not to vaccinate them. Three were vaccinated but they were in the recently-vaccinated 13-15 month age window and were more vulnerable than older vaccinated people. With the vulnerable included, 100% of the children were at elevated risk.

    Only three of the eleven adults had paperwork proving that they (the adults) were vaccinated. Potentially, there were 14 of 20 people (70%) who weren't vaccinated and 17 of 20 people (85%) who were at elevated risk.
