Measles Outbrek

I'm a little concerned about the latest measles outbreak.  It's spread outside of Lethbridge.  The recommendations aren't helpful to me - go get vaccinated.  Nothing else to prevent, other than encouraging people who do have symptoms to not spread it.  I'll be checking about my last set of titres as I don't remember all the results.  I suppose I could get retested, but I don't see the point.

study which supposedly linked vaccines to autism officially retracted

fascinating.  i wonder if this will influence anyone who hasn't had their kid vaccinated because of the whole 'MMR = liquid autism' debate??

 

Autism-vaccine study retracted

A medical journal in Britain has retracted a controversial study it published in 1998 that linked the use of a vaccine in children to autism.

The study retracted Tuesday looked at 12 children suffering from colitis, a gastrointestinal disease.
