There is a growing trend -- of parents choosing not to back to -- their children.
And that could be putting all of us at risk.
Doctors now -- the diseases once thought to be wiped out like the like whopping cough and measles are making a comeback.
And in the event of an outbreak that means even children that are vaccinated.
Can still get sick but in -- explain all of this doctor Steven garner he's chairman of radiology.
At New York Methodist Hospital.
-- a lot of people say that this started because of one doctor whose report turned out to be fraudulent fraudulent -- life.
Was published in a major medical journal -- about 1015 years ago stating that -- -- was on the rise because of vaccines cause that.
Lot of parents put into it a lot of intelligent parents poured into it and to -- state.
It's been hard to reverse that despite the fact of hundreds of studies have shown this to be totally nonsense so a lot of parents would not get their children vaccinated because they were afraid the vaccine was causing -- -- vaccines or combination vaccines were causing autism in their kid to right and as a result.
They're hurting -- -- -- population because.
Party to party giving this immunity means getting everybody vaccinated when you start having fewer than done 90% of vaccinated have a problem well let's take a look at some of -- -- diseases that are coming back you've given a -- -- us a list measles and whooping cough.
Polio even polio came back in China which they thought they'd eradicated it somebody from Pakistan came in.
And David through its bunch of children that was a pocket of polio the same thing could happen in our country measles -- -- fifty million cases -- -- measles.
500 to a thousand deaths a year.
It's been eradicated but the measles vaccine.
Scarlet fever and even mumps in the months has come back and you know the fact is with the mumps vaccine is only about 70% effective.
So do you have people coming in even though you had the vaccine of people come in with the virus.
You're gonna get it.
One of the arguments I guess that parents have some parents have is look look.
By the time my kid is six they will have been stuck with needles may be a dozen times maybe two dozen times and as a result.
Well you know it's painful it hurts I'm not gonna do it we will look human generated the kids move with -- -- -- terrible that looks so what about the deformities.
In the -- one tree and children.
The unborn children in the mother's womb were exposed to measles and chicken parts and come -- with deformities.
I -- which would you rather you have to do -- risk outweighs the benefit you don't wanna see that you -- you have 24 times but you wanna see him -- polio and so if I've had my kids vaccinated and I have.
They are actually at risk just because.
Some other parents may have chosen not to -- and it's a very selfish act.
-- about them -- vaccinated if I didn't have the whole immunity thing depends on everybody getting vaccinated some parents civil all of the others get -- -- my kids want.
Did not and doing harm to themselves but to the other kids because now this is going to be there's a very virulent disease is very easily -- so -- -- they get in contact with a kids are gonna get it.
I think the bottom line is you can play games and more -- should be -- -- Right now it's easy to check qualified of one heavily -- get a because of philosophical or medical reasons you're into the doctor.
I remember you know the paperwork involved -- -- your kid in them you know seventh grader whatever you have to go go to the pediatrician make ever should make sure that everything every box is checked.
Maybe it's just easy year.
Not to get them vaccinated and you don't have to write -- and philosophical reasons but again we Europeans if you're impacting your own.
Ideas from the rest the societies like what about since feeling is okay you know it's not a kicking her in the rest of people the so bottom line that story out of England that suggested that.
That autism was somehow related to vaccines.
Bogus nonsense and if you don't get your children backs and I think it's -- Doctor Steven garner.
Thanks for the information.
And.
