An unvaccinated boy got Oregon’s first tetanus case in 30 years — treating him cost over $800,000
​

On the first day, a six-year-old boy from Oregon cut his forehead.

On the seventh day, he started crying, his jaw clenched up and he started having muscle spasms.

This unvaccinated boy became the state’s first tetanus case in approximately 30 years, according to a report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Wednesday.

The infection put him in acute care for 57 days and rehabilitation for another 17 days — and cost over US$800,000.

The case emerges as Canadian cities grapple with outbreaks of measles that could be prevented through vaccination.

COMMENT:-

Let's put that $800,000 in perspective, it's only about 100% of the total average American household income for 17 years.

Hopefully the family had some REALLY good healthcare insurance.

PS - Under BC's Medical Service Plan, the total bill to the family would have been $0.00. But, of course, that's a system of "socialized medicine" so it doesn't count.

PPS - The family refused the recommended booster vaccination.

At least he didn't get autism.






Just a joke. I'm not a vaxxer.

Measles vaccine (MV) failure clearly plays a role in global outbreaks, where between 10-50% of cases occur in individuals who had been previously immunized. Even after two doses, measles vaccine has a 2-5% primary failure rate.

Oregon's law provides parents the right to exempt their children from being vaccinated.
There is a bill in the works to end the exemption but not without protest.

Personally speaking, I think there should be a national law that if parents are going to send their children to public schools, they are mandated to get their children vaccinated from contagious diseases.

Hundreds pack Oregon hearing to oppose bill to end vaccine exemptions

People opposed to a bill that would remove parents' ability to claim a philosophical exemption to opt their school-age children out of the combined measles, mumps and rubella vaccine listen to testimony Friday, Feb. 8, 2019, during a public hearing before the House Health Care & Wellness Committee at the Capitol in Olympia, Wash. Amid a measles outbreak that has sickened people in Washington state and Oregon, lawmakers heard public testimony on the bill Friday.

After three hours of testimony on a bill that would eliminate most vaccine exemptions, 180 people still waited to speak their minds. Nearly all of them were there to oppose House Bill 3063, which the Oregon Legislature has taken up in the midst of one of the largest measles outbreaks the Pacific Northwest has ever seen.

But what if they have an imaginary friend who tells them their children shouldn't be vaccinated?

I wasn't addressing tetanus per say, but in CA. the vaccination for tetanus is mandated prior to entering public school.
I was addressing communicable disease. The O/P also mentioned the measles outbreak.

IMO, any parent who puts their child at grave risk is criminally negligible.
If they refuse to vaccinate, keep them out of the public schools and home school instead.
 
It is 100% false that children are given a vaccination for diseases. They are given huge numbers of vaccinations at the same, usually without parents even informed of what all vaccinations are being given.

The debate by those fanatical that everyone should have to spend thousands of dollars for hundreds of vaccinations is that people are given a vaccination and studies prove the vaccination is safe. In fact, NO studies have been done on giving many or even dozens of vaccinations at the same time - literally the safety of vaccinations interactions has never been studied - although it known otherwise drugs can have huge adverse interactions with each other.

In my opinion, any parent who will allow their child to be injected by anyone without even knowing the contents in total reliance on whoever is doing the injection is a half-assed terrible parent.

It is an outright lie to claim that studies prove that how children are given huge numbers of different vaccinations at the same time has been proven safe. No study has been on possible adverse effects of mixing vaccinations. IN FACT, the government has conceded that vaccinations errors have destroyed many, many lives - and has paid out billions of dollars in damages. Because of the massive political power of the drug industry, the government uniquely declared that they are exempt from any harms they cause by vaccinations, requiring taxpayers to pay for the harms they cause - as the drug companies make hundreds of billions of dollars off any and every possible vaccination they want to sell - whether or not they work, whether or not they are safe, and whether or not they interact with other drugs and vaccinations.

There also is a concern that preventing children from having ordinary childhood diseases their immune systems do not develop making the person highly vulnerable to disease in the future.

There is no drug and no vaccination made that drug companies do not want people required to have. Americans are overwhelmingly the most drugged up people in the history of earth.

Over $10,000 per day? That is how much the medical profession now rips off both people and the government.

What about the millions of people who have gotten these vaccines all at the same time who turned out just fine and have never been afflicted with any of the diseases they were vaccinated for? What about the fact that there have never been any serious side effects attributable to these simultaneous vaccines?

Assuming that multiple simultaneous vaccinations must be dangerous is a baseless assumption. Reality proves that they aren't.
 
If vaccinations can be given all together and absolutely also do not interact with other drugs nor is the health of the child or person relevant is really true, then why does the government make drug companies uniquely immune from lawsuits with vaccinations? They are not exempt from liability for any other drugs they push. Eliminate that bribery-protection of drug companies and then we'd see how much they declare they are harmless and push everything they possibly can claim is a vaccination being forced upon children.

In fact, both the government/CDC and drug companies know there are risks to vaccinations being given to EVERYONE en mass with no personalization in the process - and they know that there has been NO proof that vaccinations do not interact with each other adversely or adversely interact with other drugs a child or adult may be on. In fact, it is known if a person has certain illnesses they should NOT be given vaccinations.

Only ignorant sheep 100% trust the government or for-profit companies with the lives of their children. We are just cattle to the CDC and dollar signs to drug companies.

He was in ICU...the cost is reasonable as he was receiving intensive care and was hooked up to very expensive medical equipment

PS - you forgot to include what they pay in taxes to support the BC medical plan. End result is not $0.00 to the family.

The fact remains that vaccines and the combinations of vaccines currently given are safe for the vast majority of people and provide much needed protection against serious diseases.

anti-vaxxers = flat earthers = birthers = all nonsense
 
Parents that do not vaccinate and their children become ill as a result should not only lose custody of those children but should also go to prison for child abuse...they also should be held legally responsible to reimburse the hospital, insurance etc for their deliberate negligence. If another child becomes ill due to their child the same x 3 should occur

Which is the bigger risk? Subjecting your children to vaccinations with a 99.9% success rate, or subjecting them to contracting easily preventable diseases? Which of these is failing to do your job as a parent to actually protect them from serious injury?

Your message is false. In fact, the government has paid out BILLIONS of dollars in damages. Reality proves your statement is false.

In fact, adverse interactions between vaccinations and drugs is well known to the CDC. Rather, their claim is that statistically you are more likely to be harmed not having a vaccination rather than not having it. However, that is mostly speculative. The CDC presumes vaccinations are generally safe and then asserts the benefits outweigh the risks with the Russian roulette logic: If you have a 6 shot gun with only 1 bullet, the odds are greatly in your favor you won't kill yourself if you pull the trigger one time.

https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellow.../interactions-among-travel-vaccines-and-drugs

People do not realize that many vaccinations actually infect the person with a disease. It is hoped the person's immunity system will cure that disease - and then knows how to cure stronger forms of it. When that fails, the person then has the disease they were deliberately infected with. Do doctors warn "there is a small chance this vaccination will kill your child, but it is very low?" No, of course not. Is there any explanation of how many vaccinations are in that shot? No. Are children seriously tested to determine if there is reason not to give that child the vaccinations due to the child's health or other drugs the child is on? No. The children are just cattle and treated as cattle. Given there are billions of cattle, if some are sacrificed for convenience they claim overall it is best anyway.

Both the PRO-vaccination and ANTI-vaccination crowd are like beta cult followers. Their opinion is like a religious belief - though they actually know almost NOTHING about what they are ranting about. Anyone who claims "all vaccinations are good, wonderful and should be required" are beta sheeple idiots. Those who claim all vaccinations are evil and should never be used are beta sheeple idiots. Same brainless cattle.

I think that you will find that the VAST majority of the $10,000 per day did NOT go to the doctors, but rather to the hospitals and the providers of medical supplies.

The number of doctors who have a personal annual income of $3,652,500 is actually pretty low.

Simple mindedness is just that. You do realize that all vaccinations are not the same, don't you? No, vaccinations do NOT have a 99.9% success rate. At best they will be 95% and some only 50%. You are reciting platitudes in belief in vaccinations, not facts.

There also is the argument that not all diseases should be prevented in children to allow their immune systems to develop. Immune systems develop by learning how to defeat diseases. Many diseases they give vaccinations for are very rarely lethal and are common childhood diseases. Children out of school is inconvenient for schools and the government exists largely to serve itself.

In debating vaccinations, the pro-vaccination groupies usually just rant and chant the same false claims over and over - refusing to actually debate at all.

Explain WHY vaccinations are the ONLY drugs that drug companies are protected from liability by federal law?
Explain WHY the government has paid out BILLIONS in damages for vaccinations?
Provide ANY legitimate study showing it is safe to give multiple vaccinations at the same time.
Explain why childhood medical conditions such as autism are reaching epidemic levels?
Provide any study that vaccinations do not adversely interact with other prescription drugs.

The ONLY reason multiple vaccinations are given at the same is NOT about the child's health. It is about convenience. NO ONE claims there is benefit in multiple vaccinations at the same time.

The medical and drug industries historically are known for "oops" admissions of doing great harms to people in the past. Nothing will undo the harms caused. Ask a parent what vaccinations their children have had and NONE know, because they aren't even told, let alone asked.

No vaccination worshippers will discuss those topics. They just chant and rant that ALL vaccinations, no matter what they are, who made them, how they are mixed, are completely safe as a religious belief. Rather than debate, they just rant more furiously as diversion.
