Mumps Outbreak
Apparantly there’s an outbreak of the mumps across middle America.
It’s not known precisely why this mumps outbreak is occurring, especially when so many U.S. residents receive a vaccination for it during childhood. Infectious disease expert Dr. William Schaffner said he hopes that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will fully investigate why Americans are coming down with the illness.
Hmm. I wonder if it’s because vaccines are a scam and they don’t work? nah. couldn’t be that.
While the word “outbreak” typically means bad news, there is a silver lining: Mumps is a fairly mild viral infection, causing swelling of the salivary glands and soreness in and around the mouth and jaw areas. It usually goes away after a few days and rarely causes complications.
So why bother making a vaccine against it? More chemicals to dump into a tiny body that short circuits the natural immune system, potentially weakening it against other pathogens.
As of today, the University of Kansas has six confirmed cases and 15 more probable cases among students, said Sheryl Tirol-Goodwin of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department in Kansas.
All but one of the infected Kansas students had received two doses of the MMR vaccine, she said, a strange pattern seen among many of the cases.
Hmmm. Interesting.
