Mmr and links to austim

[Michelle38wales]

Do you think there’s a link with mmr and austim, I’ve already 3 children with austim so not sure about my baby having it

Do you still think the earth is flat?

@grabbit, 'I'm alright, Jack' springs to mind.

So if you would do single vaccines, why haven't you?

Mumps can make men infertile. Not really a mild disease in that respect.
I'm immunocompromised and rely on herd immunity. I'm d. I've had mumps. I had the rubella jab many moons ago. I've never had measles.
You put me at risk of death if you undermine herd immunity. It's not a personal choice.

I would do a single vaccine for measles. I have not found anywhere offering this (children are still v young.)

Sorry grabbit but both your reasons are odd!

Mumps is not a mild disease and if your children catch it they may have a really bad time, or infect someone else who will.

As for your children are not pregnant!!! I can't say what I want to say about that, it's too rude. But again, you children could infect a pregnant woman!

And both are miserable diseases to catch, even mildly! I have had mumps as a four year old and I really remember the misery!

I'm d? I'm old.

Being female, my children don't need the mumps disease - if they were boys I might consider it, but the complications arising from mumps are rare.

Vaccine, not disease

Ok... so you can guarantee that your children will not ever pass it on to anyone else, especially males?

Wow. Just wow.

Brace yourself, grabbit. And have a

Do you know why we have vaccinations? Social conscience and all that?

Such a weirdly selfish decision making process makes me want to disbelieve you entirely!

Curious because mumps is generally a mild disease and rubella isn't harmful unless caught by a pregnant woman ... my children aren't pregnant!

Mumps can cause deafness in boys or girls. Also encephalitis. That one’s fatal.

Vaccination is a no brainier.
Children die from measles. Post measles encephalitis causes brain injury or death. They can become blind or develop seizures. Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis can occur several years after measles. You think your child has survived and then they start showing symptoms of this fatal complications a few years afterwards. Measles is returning because herd immunity is being lost. Few people these days see measles. Once seen, it’s never forgotten.

Rubella is more likely to be linked to autism than vaccination. Rubella damaged babies are born deaf and blind - making life very challenging, for they survive to term. Some suffer brain damage in uterus too.

Mumps can cause meningitis and encephalitis. As it’s viral, it’s hard to treat and death or brain injury is likely if the complication occurs. The child is incredibly unwell. Boys can develop infertility from mumps.

Why would you not protect your child that you claim to love? Why would you put other children at increased risk?

No link at all

Why on earth is it "weird" to consider whether or not my children need a vaccination and then conclude they don't since the disease is not harmful to them?

I find it more peculiar that people do. It is like getting a vaccination for a disease you wouldn't come across in the UK on the offchance you travel to that place in the future.

Not this again 

You're logic is so flawed, grabbit.

Let's hope not fatally!

well if my two year old gets pregnant i am sure rubella is a worry but on the assumption that that won't happen i think she's good

So OP:
Is a parent of autistic children, does not know how to spell autism
Has not been back

@grabbit if your children are young, unless they're multiples then at least one of them is old enough for the MMR or singles

I googled really easily when I needed to find out where might offer the menB

Why on EARTH would you put your kids through mumps if you don't had to? I had mumps as a kid and it was horrendous and the sort of pain I never forgot.

Then that kid is a risk to people who aren't immune, boys and girls.

It's a massively selfish view.

Or maybe people are like my mother who enjoyed seeing us suffer. I dunno.

People have got complacent because they dont see these illnesses in action so make ignorant choices.

well if my two year old gets pregnant i am sure rubella is a worry but on the assumption that that won't happen i think she's good

So when are you planning on vaccinating her?

I'm not. I've already explained this.

Sorry grabbit I thought you said you'd do single measles vaccine? Quick google suggests a few places offering it

Grabbit because of herd immunity your girls are unlikely to catch mumps as children. if they catch it as adults, for example if they travel to an area where it is still prevalent, they stand a 10% chance of contracting viral meningitis as a result. And even if you don't think your kids will becadventurous the next big risk is going to university where they mix with kids from all over the place. Your choice but you take the risk they they won't thank you for taking it.
