Dear Legislator,<\/p>\n

We have been led to believe that the Disney Outbreak was the result of unvaccinated, exempted children. However, according to the CDC, it began with an infected traveler from overseas and became infectious at the park.\u00a0Analysis by CDC scientists<\/a>\u00a0showed that the measles virus type (B3) was identical to the virus type that caused a large outbreak in the Philippines in 2014.<\/p>\n

In 2014, the U.S. experienced 23 measles outbreaks, including one large outbreak of 383 cases, occurring primarily among unvaccinated Amish communities in Ohio. Many of the cases in the U.S. in 2014 were associated with cases brought in from the Philippines.<\/p>\n

Outbreaks within a 99% vaccinated population have occurred in the United States. One of many occurred in\u00a0Corpus Christi, Texas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2011, the largest measles outbreak (725) occurred in\u00a0Quebec Canada<\/a>, in a highly vaccinated, most twice-vaccinated population of children.[1]\n

The vaccine program was implemented in the 1960s with the goal to eliminate infectious disease, but outbreaks of measles, whooping cough, chicken pox, and mumps, continue in both vaccinated and unvaccinated populations. What does this say about the theory of Herd Immunity? What does it say about vaccine efficacy? What does it say about the benefits of Natural Immunity?<\/p>\n

The original concept of\u00a0herd immunity\u00a0was coined by\u00a0Dr. A.W.\u00a0Hedrich\u00a0in the 1930\u2019s based upon his\u00a0epidemiological studies of measles. His theory\u00a0applied to the protection\u00a0that occurs when a population contracts and recovers\u00a0naturally\u00a0from infections.<\/p>\n

Naturally acquired immunity lasts a\u00a0lifetime;\u00a0vaccine-induced immunity does not. The science is not settled. New science shows that antibodies from vaccines do not equal immunity since\u00a0antibodies alone are not required for antiviral immunity<\/a>. A whole-body (T-cell) response is required for life-long immunity.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Evidence of high vaccine compliance of 95% and higher does not ensure protection of the \u201cherd\u201d and does not protect a community from an outbreak since vaccines provide only short-term, artificial immunity (vaccines wane in 2-5 years, sometimes less).<\/p>\n

In China, with a 99% vaccination rate, there were over\u00a0700 outbreaks of measles<\/a>\u00a0from 2009 to 2012.[2]\n

Instead of basing mandated\u00a0vaccination on the theory of Herd Immunity, we should be looking at why vaccines fail to show efficacy and do no prevent disease transmission in vaccinated communities across the globe.<\/p>\n

We must also look to scientific evidence which demonstrates that vaccinated individuals shed the live virus from vaccines such as MMR (measles, mumps and rubella), rotavirus, chicken pox, shingles and influenza can shed (transmit) for many weeks or months afterwards to infect the vaccinated and unvaccinated alike.\u00a0[3]\u00a0[4]\u00a0[5]\u00a0[6]\u00a0[7]\u00a0[8]\n

Note also that the measles vaccine causes injury and death. There have been 111 claims settled for injury and death from the MMR vaccine. However, no one is dying from natural measles infections, which is a mild infection in children.\u00a0http:\/\/www.uscfc.uscourts.gov\/opinion-search<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Until vaccine efficacy and safety is understood and all the data is evaluated, any attempt to eliminate personal exemption from current State law must be opposed. Where there is risk or uncertainty, there must be choice.<\/p>\n
