.@PhilMurphyNJ @GovMurphy let’s talk CDC science: Tetanus: (cdc.gov/tetanus/about/…) The CDC states“tetanus is different from other vaccine-preventable diseases because it does not spread from person to person.” Individual protection only. Individual choice. Simple.
CDC:”Public health experts cannot rely on herd immunity to protect people from pertussis(pt)since: pt spreads so easily, vaccine protection decreases over time, vaccines may not prevent colonization (carrying bacteria in your bodywithout getting sick) or spread of the bacteria.”
The CDC goes further to state that “children who haven’t received DTaP vaccines … are not the driving force behind the large scale outbreaks or epidemics”
Finally, the CDC states “the epidemiology of pertussis has changed in recent years, with an increasing burden of disease among fully-vaccinated children and adolescents.” (cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/…)
Diphtheria: (cdc.gov/diphtheria/cli…) Similar to pertussis, CDC states “circulation of the bacteria appears to continue in some settings, even in populations with more than 80% childhood vaccination rates. An asymptomatic carrier state can exist even among immune individuals”
Hep B: (cdc.gov/hepatitis/hbv/…) The Hep B virus is not spread in the community setting as the CDC states “HBV is not spread through food or water, sharing eating utensils, breastfeeding, hugging, kissing, hand holding, coughing, or sneezing.”@LatusStacey @INparentingNJ
This is why the government allows kids with actual Hep B infections in school. @PhilMurphyNJ @GovMurphy your new law will keep kids without the Hep b vaccine out of school and let kids with Hep b in school. Sick kids in. Healthy kids out. @INparentingNJ @delbigtree @LatusStacey
Hib:cdc.gov/diphtheria/cli…) CDC: “vaccines are available that can help prevent Hib disease. The vax do not provide protection against other types of Hi disease.” Unfortunately, CDC states “nontypeable Hi causes the majority of invasive Hi disease in US & the vax doesn’t cover
Polio: cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/p… The CDC states “it is not known how long people who received IPV will be immune to poliovirus. @RobSchneider @INparentingNJ @delbigtree @RobertKennedyJr @ChildrensHD
Pertussis: (cdc.gov/pertussis/abou…): The CDC states “pertussis vaccines are effective, but not perfect. They typically offer good levels of protection within the first 2 years after getting the vaccine, but then protection decreases over time.”@stevesweeneynj @GovMurphy
Chickenpox: (cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/v…) The CDC states “it is not known how long a vaccinated person is protected against varicella
Flu: cdc.gov/flu/vaccines-w…) CDC records show that over the last 15 years, starting in 2004-2005, the flu vaccine effectiveness estimates average 39.9% effective .@GovMurphy you are mandating an intervention with risks against people’s will for less than 40% effectiveness?
Mumps: cdc.gov/mumps/hcp.html CDC states “People who previously had 1 or 2 doses of MMR vaccine can still get mumps & transmit disease. During mumps outbreaks in highly vaccinated communities, the proportion of cases that occur among people who have been vaccinated may be high.
chicken Pox: merck.com/product/usa/pi… vaccine label states: “Due to the concern for transmission of vaccine virus, vaccine recipients should attempt to avoid whenever possible close association with susceptible high-risk individuals for up to six weeks following vaccination(1)
w/ VARIVAX. Susceptible high-risk individuals include: Immunocompromised, Pregnant, Newborn infants. @GovMurphy are all 6 year olds kept home now after chicken pox vaccinations to protect the immunocompromised #science @LatusStacey @INparentingNJ @delbigtree @RobertKennedyJr (2)
