10 month old baby at risk for having measles from the Disneyland outbreak, puts his 3 year old siste - Polidicks

[b]10 month old baby at risk for having measles from the Disneyland outbreak, puts his 3 year old sister with leukemia in real danger. Anti vaccinator Doctor chimes in and tells the parents they should have stayed in doors and their daughter probably got leukemia from the chemicals in her vaccines.[/b] Source: [url=http://edition.cnn.com/2015/01/30/health/arizona-measles-vaccination-debate/index.html]CNN[/url] (video in source) _______________ [quote](CNN)Anna Jacks checks her baby's forehead over and over again. Is he hot? Does he have a rash? Is his nose still runny? Her son has been sick before, but this time it's different: Last week Eli was at a Phoenix Children's Hospital clinic with a woman who had the measles, which spreads easily from person to person. Now he's showing signs of the virus, such as runny nose and cough and fatigue. At 10 months old, Eli is too young to get vaccinated and would be especially vulnerable to serious complications of measles, such as deafness and brain damage or even death. But his parents have an even bigger worry. If Eli does have the measles, he could give it to his 3-year-old sister, Maggie, who has leukemia. So far Maggie is feeling fine, but her parents know that with her immune system wiped out by chemotherapy she's even more vulnerable than her brother to complications. "My biggest fear is that I'll lose my child, or that she'll become deaf," Anna Jacks said. "My family has been through enough with cancer. I don't want her to go through anything else." According to Arizona health officials, the woman at the clinic who put the Jacks children in danger was herself infected by members of a family that doesn't vaccinate and got measles during a visit to Disneyland, where the outbreak began more than a month ago. This week, Maggie and Eli's father, Dr. Tim Jacks, wrote a [url=http://www.kidnurse.org/parents-unvaccinated-child-exposed-family-measles/]blog post in which he expressed his feelings to this family[/url]. "Towards you, unvaccinating parent, I feel anger and frustration at your choices," wrote Jacks, a pediatrician. "Why would you knowingly expose anyone to your sick unvaccinated child after recently visiting Disneyland? That was a boneheaded move." "Your poor choices don't just affect your child," he continued. "They affect my family and many more like us. Please forgive my sarcasm. I am upset and just a little bit scared." Jacks signed the post "Papa Bear." The Jacks family asked a CNN crew not to enter their home or meet with Eli. Out of an abundance of caution we also chose not to meet with Maggie or with Tim Jacks, who has limited immunity to measles. We spoke to Anna Jacks in person because blood tests show she has complete immunity to measles. The Jackses don't know the identity of the vaccine refusers who put their children in danger, but Anna Jacks said she knows what she would say to them if she ever met them. "Your children don't live in a little bubble. They live in a big bubble and my children live inside that big bubble with your children," she said. "If you don't want to vaccinate your children, fine, but don't take them to Disneyland." But Dr. Jack Wolfson said it's the Jacks family who should keep themselves at home, not him. Wolfson, an Arizona cardiologist, refuses to vaccinate his two young sons. He said the family that didn't vaccinate and endangered the Jacks children did nothing wrong. "It's not my responsibility to inject my child with chemicals in order for [a child like Maggie] to be supposedly healthy," he said. "As far as I'm concerned, it's very likely that her leukemia is from vaccinations in the first place." "I'm not going to sacrifice the well-being of my child. My child is pure," he added. "It's not my responsibility to be protecting their child." CNN asked Wolfson if he could live with himself if his unvaccinated child got another child gravely ill. "I could live with myself easily," he said. "It's an unfortunate thing that people die, but people die. I'm not going to put my child at risk to save another child." He blamed the Jacks family for taking Maggie to the clinic for care. "If a child is so vulnerable like that, they shouldn't be going out into society," he said. Anna Jacks said she hopes vaccine refusers get educated and change their minds. In the meantime, she prays that her daughter recovers from leukemia and that both her children avoid getting measles.[/quote] That doctor... what the fucking FUCK. That is infuriating.

think you mean "I butchered the title"...

[QUOTE=fixture;47060363]think you mean "I butchered the title"...[/QUOTE] Sorry about that. :/

I would like to know what dangerous toxic chemicals that doctor proscribes daily I would think after taking biochemistry to get a doctorate in medical school you couldn't be that dense, everything is a fucking dangerous chemical. Its a deactivated virus and bacteriophages that the immune system can pickup on and boost itself not fucking chemtrails He should be suspended for gross misconduct, this is not how doctors are supposed to act

[QUOTE]"It's not my responsibility to inject my child with chemicals in order for [a child like Maggie] to be supposedly healthy," he said. "As far as I'm concerned, it's very likely that her leukemia is from vaccinations in the first place."[/QUOTE] No hope left

I so want to punch that "doctor" in the face. How could someone in his field be *this* obtuse and willfully ignorant?!

Also if you live in the US, it is your goddamn responsibility to protect others around you from infectious diseases, that's both a sociatal contract that predates mankind's civilization and heard immunity This is a damn epidemic of one of the most infectious viruses around and people are fucking acting like preventative medicine is like a 2nd amendment issue which it damnwell isn't

That guy shouldn't be a doctor. Whats next, pilots believing such stupid things? "Attention passengers, I believe that since most plane crashes occur when the engines are on, I will turn off all the engines now mid-flight. Enjoy your day" Flawed logic at its finest

How did he become a doctor in the first place? jesus.

Either he's getting a hefty paycheck or should be flat out not practising medicine.

Should investigate this doctor for malpractice. There's no reason a licensed doctor should be this fucking stupid.

I'm afraid there's a very small group of anti vaxxers in my city... holy shit. It was covered by the news once last year, so far it's a very, very small minority, but potentially dangerous nonetheless. BTW thanks for fixing the title, mods :)

How do these people even become doctors in the US? Fucking step up your game.

Words alone cannot express my rage towards the "Doctor".

I am not a violent man but uh, I'll make an exception for this guy.

Guys, you're forgetting that you have a crazy anti-climate change republican as head of the the science and technology committee. When shit like this happens in the USA, it shouldn't surprise anyone.

"If you didn't want to catch a disease, you shouldn't have gone outside :)" Is not valid advice. Ban this man from practising medicine. -edit- As I also said in a disturbingly similar thread, these news articles are getting disturbingly more common, and it needs to stop right away.

revoke license

yeah the doctor needs his license revoked and the children need to be taken away from their clearly incompetent and unsafe parents

How did you pass medical school you son of a bitch.

If you're going to say shit this stupid, you need your fucking lisence pulled.

Saturn V, is there something you want to tell us?

"Anti-vaccine doctor" Never thought I'd see that title.

"Not only can I draw invisible lines between vaccines and mental retardation, but I have just taken it a step further and said they ca n cause cancer too." - Medical Quack 2015

That's not a doctor, those two words do not work well together.

[QUOTE=Saturn V;47060620]revoke license[/QUOTE] "But but... I thought this was America! Isn't this America, huh?! I thought this was 'murricuh!!11 I HAEV RIGHTS I'M GONNA SUE YER ASS HURR DURR!!!11!" :/

Lock all these dumb-fuck anti-vaccers in a room and let nature deal with them I say

[QUOTE=booster;47060678]"Anti-vaccine doctor" Never thought I'd see that title.[/QUOTE] I know, right. Doctors like that man should know better, this is *not* an excuse.

why does America let people like this man become registered and qualified doctors
