The groups' message for a meeting planned for Sunday at the Brian Coyle Community Center in Minneapolis: "The epidemic is autism, not measles."

An outbreak of measles in Minnesota has sickened more than 30 children in recent weeks, primarily in the state's large Somali-American community, where many parents avoid the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine because of unfounded fears that it causes autism.
"This has nothing to do with being Somali, it has everything to do with being unvaccinated," Kris Ehresmann, infectious disease director of the Minnesota Department of Health, told CBS Minnesota last week as the number of cases grew.
Somalis are just the latest example of a tight-knit community in which the highly contagious disease has gained a foothold in the U.S. in recent years.
"With Somalis, we know that it's a community that's been targeted for misinformation from the anti-vaccine community and so that's a bit distressing," she said.

Re: This Just in . . . Vaccines STILL Do Not Cause Autism
The positive note is I looked at coverage. I expected the "Jane, You Ignorant Slut!" tactic of "Here is someone who may actually know the subject and opposing him is some Actress who snuffs paint thinner!" in order to be "balanced"Michigan mother jailed for refusing to vaccinate her son
Rebecca Bredow would not let her nine-year-old be immunised after initially agreeing with the father to do so.
Her ex-husband has now been awarded temporary primary custody in order to get the boy the jab People who do not speak Proper English use such words.
Michigan parents are legally allowed to skip or delay their children's vaccinations due to personal beliefs.
But Bredow fell foul of the law because she reneged on agreements with her former spouse dating back to November 2016 to have the boy immunised.
The mother-of-two was sentenced on Wednesday for contempt of court after flouting a court order last week to have her son vaccinated. So, unfortunately, this is more legal consequence than a legal recognition that her refusal represents harm to the child.
She and her ex-husband decided at the time of their child's birth that they would space out See, this is what not having guns but having women as leaders gets you. See: Asthmatic and his Fag-o-Cycle. We need to send them some Freedom and delay jabs for their son.
The couple separated in 2008, according to ABC News, but they shared parental custody and the father still wanted the boy vaccinated.

No. Even Faux's coverage had a lawyer who not only explained how she legally fucked up, she did not try the "though she has a right to determine what previously eradicated diseases other children will die from" apologetics. The medical expert simply damned her and, Heavens to Betsy, even the Talking Head agreed and suggest she should lose any custody.Really, Dr. Important, you don't believe people can try homeopathy for rectal beaver infestation if they believe it works?

Writing in BMJ Case Reports, doctors report that the naturopath told the man to take an excessive amount of Epsom salt for "stone dissolution." Such overdoses of the salt, aka magnesium sulfate, can cause diarrhea, breathing problems, kidney injury, and cardiac arrhythmias. But this is the first time doctors have ever reported that it caused liver damage.

Essentia fires about 50 workers over refusal to get flu shots
Labor unions are also unhappy:
Religious criteria? Of course, if you believe in the right Sky-Daddy you are exempt. :roll:Essentia Health has fired roughly 50 employees who refused to get flu vaccinations under a new policy that pits personal choice against public health interests.
Hundreds of workers got their shots last week after being warned that they would otherwise lose their jobs, the Duluth-based health system said Tuesday.
But a fraction of workers still refused and did not meet Essentia’s medical or religious criteria for exemptions, according to Dr. Rajesh Prabhu, an infectious disease specialist and Essentia’s chief patient safety officer.
Labor unions are also unhappy:
Three unions objected to Essentia’s policy, which was imposed to reduce the spread of influenza in the health system’s 15 hospitals and 75 clinics in northern Minnesota and three other states.
The United Steelworkers, which represents some of the workers, unsuccessfully sought a federal court injunction to block the company from firing workers who refused vaccine.
The Minnesota Nurses Association (MNA) and the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees, Council 65, also lodged complaints about the practice with the National Labor Relations Board. The nursing union announced Monday that it would file grievances on behalf of any nurse who lost a job over the flu shot policy.
“We tried to sit down with management, but Essentia executives told us they intend to follow through with terminations and mandatory flu shots regardless,” said Steve Strand, co-chair of the MNA’s bargaining unit in Duluth.
As many as 400 doctors, nurses or other workers hadn’t been vaccinated as of Nov. 15, when Essentia reported 97 percent compliance among its 15,000 employees. But many of those holdouts got shots or filed exemptions before the company’s Nov. 20 deadline.
Prabhu said 99 percent of Essentia’s workers have now complied — though the company is still reviewing some exemption requests.

Measles cases in Italy skyrocket as populists call for vaccination ban
Italy recorded 5,006 measles cases last year, over 25% of the European total.
The country's immunisation rate is 87%, significantly lower than the recommended 95% threshold.
Northern League and Five Star Movement have vowed to scrap a vaccination law ahead of the March election.

Doctors 'flabbergasted' that half of parents think flu shot causes the flu: 'It's impossible'
Hell, skeptics have been debunking various woo beliefs for longer than that, but the beliefs still persist.
It may be impossible for the flu vaccine to give you the disease, but flu vaccines can provoke an immune reaction. In fact that's what they're supposed to do. An the immune reaction can cause symptoms similar to a flu, although milder. Or you might catch a cold or a different strain of the flu, or even the flu itself before the protection kicks in.
But it's not a suprise to me that beliefs like this tend to be immune to pronouncements from experts.“I’m flabbergasted,” William Schaffner, MD, an infectious disease specialist and professor at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “I and many others have been saying for over 20 years that you can’t get the flu from the flu vaccine. I don’t know how to say it any louder. You cannot get the flu from the flu vaccine. That’s a myth.”

--J.D.Embarrassed CDC Announces It Accidentally Switched Flu Shots With HIV
https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/im ... dikeyw.jpg
ATLANTA—Informing the more than 150 million Americans affected by the error that the mistake was “totally our bad,” embarrassed officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Thursday that they had accidentally switched all 2018 flu shots with samples of HIV. “Oh, god, we really and truly screwed the pooch on this one. We wish to say we’re deeply sorry, especially to the 59.1 percent of children in the U.S. who received what they had every right to expect were influenza vaccines this fall. Not that it’s anywhere near adequate consolation, but we’re offering a full refund as a partial apology for infecting you with HIV,” said CDC director Robert Redfield, who explained that the two kinds of vials are stocked “really close to each other, and look practically identical.” “We promise to be way more careful in the future. On the plus side, your HIV is only in the acute infection stage, so many of you have a decent amount of time before you develop full-blown acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Yes, obviously, the ideal scenario is to have no life-threatening spectrum of infections destroying your white blood cells, especially—and this is extra embarrassing—during flu season, like it is right now. Man, we were so adamant about you getting these shots in the first place, too.” Redfield encouraged Americans to schedule another flu shot just as soon as the CDC followed up on reports that in the rush to correct the error, some replacement batches had been mistakenly swapped out for anthrax.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. Someone might get offended by the other ones, but they don't have to do with vaccines. But if idiots believe this one is true, or that something like this is even possible, it could potentially have a negative public health consequence. It is funny though.

https://eu.azcentral.com/story/news/loc ... 149710002/Arizona cancels vaccine program after backlash from parents who don't vaccinate
The state of Arizona has canceled a vaccine education program after receiving complaints from parents who don't immunize their school-age children.
The pilot online course, modeled after programs in Oregon and Michigan, was created in response to the rising number of Arizona schoolchildren skipping school-required immunizations against diseases like measles, mumps and whooping cough because of their parents' beliefs.
But some parents, who were worried the optional course was going to become mandatory, complained to the Governor's Regulatory Review Council, which reviews regulations to ensure they are necessary and do not adversely affect the public. The six-member council is appointed by Gov. Doug Ducey, with an ex-officio general counsel.

Re: This Just in . . . Vaccines STILL Do Not Cause Autism
https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/11 ... plummetingIndonesian ‘vaccine fatwa’ sends measles immunization rates plummeting
Millions of parents around Indonesia have eschewed the vaccine in recent months, after Islamic clerics declared the MR vaccine "haram," or forbidden under Islamic law because pig components are used in its manufacturing. Vaccine coverage has plummeted as a result, alarming public health experts who worry that the world's largest Muslim-majority country could see new waves of measles and more miscarriages and birth defects resulting from rubella infections during pregnancy.
Indonesia has long used a locally produced measles vaccine as part of its childhood vaccination scheme, but coverage has been patchy, and until recently, the country had one of the highest measles burdens in the world, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Last year, as part of a WHO-led plan to eliminate measles and rubella globally by 2020, Indonesia switched to a combined MR vaccine, produced by the Serum Institute of India in Mumbai. The Ministry of Health launched an ambitious catchup campaign targeting 67 million children aged 9 months to 15 years. The first phase, in 2017 on the island of Java, was a success; all six provinces reached the 95% coverage target, and measles and rubella cases dropped by more than 90%.
But the rollout to the rest of the country, originally scheduled for August and September of this year, ran into trouble. Just before it began, the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) of the Riau Islands, a provincial Islamic body, raised concerns that the new MR vaccine had not been certified as "halal," or lawful, by the central MUI in Jakarta, the highest authority in such matters. The letter asked for vaccinations to be postponed. The news quickly spread throughout the country, stoking distrust among parents.
To salvage the campaign, the health ministry in August lobbied the central MUI to issue a fatwa—a ruling under Islamic law—declaring the vaccine halal. Instead, the council declared the MR vaccine haram, based on its ingredients and manufacturing process. Like many vaccines, it is made using several porcine components.

Re: This Just in . . . Vaccines STILL Do Not Cause Autism
As an aside, it's become popular in some circles on the right lately to argue that "Islam isn't a religion." :lol:
Don't believe me? Just Google "islam not a religion".
I think it's a way to justify two conflicting ideas, the idea of "religious liberty" which is popular on the right, with hatred of Muslims, and the desire to crack down on them (no "mosque" at ground zero, prevent Muslims from immigrating, etc.), which is also popular on the right. Conveniently, if we define Islam as something other than a religion, we can be for both things at the same time!! :lol:
(The fallacy of course is the No True Scotsman fallacy.)

So, how are we going to implement this?
We will block or remove all anti-vax posts with urgency
We will give formal warnings to delete the accounts of Mush users who comment on other mums' posts with anti-vax messaging
