A Bridge too Far

Scripture Reading: Ephesians 2:14-15
14) “For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15) Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in Himself of twain one new man, so making peace;….”
Brief Comment on the Vaccine Controversy
I feel that I need to bring this controversy up as the media has been just slamming everyone who did not vaccinate either themselves or their children; many calling them “conspiracy” advocates. Even Bill Cunningham, the Catholic local radio host argued for it. NBC news all agreed; with their medical specialist correspondent, Nancy Snyderman lambasting the anti-vaccine people, calling them “stupid.” Of course she is in trouble because she left the Ebola quarantine area and may lose her job. Do you think that this is why she spoke so strongly against the unvaccinated?
While the media continues to spew emotionally charged tirades about how the anti-vaccination “movement” allegedly triggered the recent measles outbreak that health authorities believe started at Disneyland, actual science suggests that the most likely cause of this insanely overblown outbreak was a person who was recently vaccinated.
Numerous published studies reveal how live-virus vaccines like MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) actually shed these diseases for many weeks or even months following vaccination, potentially infecting others, both vaccinated and unvaccinated. This means that any child who was recently given an MMR vaccine is a walking disease-spreader, a truth that the media is refusing to report as even just a possibility in this case.
The fact that vaccinated individuals can and do carry around contagious measles for many weeks while displaying no symptoms of the disease suggests that this latest outbreak might just be another example of a vaccine-strain outbreak. While a handful of the roughly 100 measles cases identified so far have tested out as wild genotype B3 measles, according to the latest reports, the original source of the outbreak has yet to be identified.
