I wonder if the cosocom alert in Oregon is for measles

@Bemet_Or

Why? Is there an outbreak?

I read something on my friend’s timeline yesterday again. She posted a link about the number of vax deaths vs the number of measle deaths from the cdc

I don’t want to alienate her but i have to think that the number of vax deaths is obviously higher because vaccinations have been working during the years queried. Her opinion is that vaccinations are intentional and part of a scheme to reduce population.

*sighs not even sure i want to go there.

@Museek and yes Oregon is having an outbreak.

and for the first time, a 30+ yr old contracted it..

@Bemet_Or woah...
We really don’t want this happening again. People need to consider public health... seriously.... i GET that no one wants their kids to be injured or gave an allergic reaction but they’ll regret an outbreak much worse. Either way, there is risk and much more so with an outbreak.

@Museek @Bemet_Or

yep. Oregon here. outbreak has everyone worried. i'm vaccinated, went to the pharmacy prepared to pay $87 to get another shot just in case, but they said as long as you've had two MMR shots you're good.

been checking in with my friends as able to encourage they get their kiddos vaccinated if they aren't already.

worried about babies & those who *can't* get vaccinated.

so adults don't need boosters if they've already had the two shots? I just want to verify. @evistre @Museek

@Bemet_Or @Museek

right. that's what they were finding in the CDC documentation.

@evistre @Museek @Bemet_Or Okay. I have zero clue if I had two shots. I know I had one MMR, when they came to the school and gave it to everybody (NYC Public School. 70s) I have zero recollection of a second.

@Kitty62862

If you don’t know your vaccination status, remembering only one shot, then you probably ought to get vaccinated, particularly if you live in an outbreak area.

@Bemet_Or @Museek @evistre

@Myrth @evistre @Museek @Bemet_Or
Does the fact that I HAD the measles, prior to the MMR?

you have your own immunity now.. if you had it...

just like chicken pox...
I wonder when that's going to start coming back with a vengeance...

@Kitty62862 @Museek @evistre @Myrth

@Bemet_Or I never had cpox.. I got one dose of the vax before I went to china but not the second.. @Myrth @evistre @Museek @Kitty62862

@ucantstop_me i had it when i was 5. my mom was on a cruise, i got chicken pox AND there was an earthquake.

she never went on vacation again. too paranoid something else would happen.

@Kitty62862 @Museek @Myrth @Bemet_Or

@evistre @Bemet_Or @Myrth @Museek @ucantstop_me

I was 7. That’s when they made you stay home from school for two weeks.

@Kitty62862 @ucantstop_me @Bemet_Or @Myrth @evistre

I was a little older when i got it. I also got mononucleosis shortly after that...miserable year. 😂

@Museek

OMG yes. Freshman year of college was horrible. Mono. Then had to get my wisdom teeth extracted - jaw bone surgery in hospital. THEN chickenpox.
