The time for gently nudging parents to vaccinate their children is over. A groundswell of antivaccine opinion and fake news from a highly influential and malicious antivax lobby is managing to harness social media for its own ends. As a result, in the UK, uptake of measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine has fallen to below the level needed to create herd immunity. Vaccination coverage is currently 91% across the UK, which falls short of the 95% that is needed for herd immunity. This is putting the most vulnerable children in our society at risk. For there are some children who cannot have the MMR vaccine—either because they are too young or because they have a medical condition that means that it is not safe for them to have a live vaccine. This includes children with cancer, who cannot have the vaccine while they are being treated with chemotherapy because they are immunosuppressed.

Across the nation, most mumps cases are occurring among people who have been vaccinated, according to the CDC, and these outbreaks are not due to low vaccination rates. For example, in Texas, 97.6% of kindergarten-age children have received two doses of the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine, Van Deusen said, while 98.7% of seventh-graders have.

Many scientists have long argued that [convalescent plasma therapy] CPT has been wrongly neglected, both as a therapy for emerging diseases and in preparation for future unknown threats. (...)

Convalescent plasma was found to effectively treat diphtheria and tetanus at the end of the nineteenth century, and was widely used in the first half of the twentieth century to treat diseases such as measles, mumps and pneumonia. But it fell off the radar after the development of antibiotics, antiviral drugs and vaccines.

Map of the Day: The High Cost of Vaccine Hysteria | Mother Jones

Use of the MMR vaccine plummeted during the aughts, as vaccine-autism hysteria was spread by charlatans and the ignorati. Needless to say, this did nothing to affect the incidence of autism, but it sure had an effect on measles and mumps. To this day, though, I don’t think any of the vectors of this hysteria have so much as apologized.
