A Washington state House committee on Friday passed a bill to ban the personal or philosophical exemption for the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) for school-age children amid an outbreak of the virus.

...

Gov. Jay Inslee (D) declared a state of emergency in Washington late last month following a measles outbreak.

There have been 53 confirmed cases of measles as of Thursday afternoon, according to health officials in Clark County, an anti-vaccination “hot spot” near Portland, Ore., where a vast majority of this year’s measles cases have been located.

Of the 53 confirmed cases, 47 people were not immunized against the illness and one had the MMR vaccine

Western societies have largely been the drivers of science and vaccinations for so long that we've gone generations without witnessing major health issues like these. Without those deadly reminders, some have been lulled into thinking the risks are minimal. The notion of victims-of-ones-own-success comes to mind with the emergence of these Anti-Vaxxer types. The same goes for the lack of conflict and war at home and why you see people travel to dangerous parts of the world thinking everyone will just get along, and then they end up murdered.

My youngest(2 y/o) is now covered in rashes due to his reaction to taking amoxicillin. If it wasn't for measles going around I wouldn't be afraid to take him out, but now if I do he will probably freak people out. Hopefully it clears up before my oldest has his birthday party this weekend or I'm not sure what to do.

Here's an article about how vaccines work:
https://www.publichealth.org/public-...vaccines-work/

It may or may not work on you depending on your immune system, especially the flu-shot ones.
They inject a little bit of the virus/bacteria in you so your immune system gets triggered and recognize it. The next time you become infected, your immune system combats it right away.

Everyone's immune system is different, so this is why the controversy arise.

I'm going to make a few corrections here.

Flu-shots are different every year. There is an algorithm that determines the most likely strains of the flu and based on that, the vaccine is created. Again, there are many types of strains of the flu and it is a "best guess" type situation. Just you get it doesn't mean you're covered for everything which is why you should get it every year.

It isn't so much that they inject a bit of the virus/bacteria, it is actually the attenuated virus/bacteria where they are no longer virulent. By this I mean that they have been modified in such a way that they do not have the ability to infect or damage the host but are still viable. This is important because your immune system will attack it like any outside organism that isn't supposed to be there and then compiles it as a record so when you are up against it again, it knows what to do.

The next statement that your immune system recognizes it and combats it right away is correct. You still might get a bit sick but your recovery time is substantially increased.

Last sentence is a bit of a mine field. Although you're right that everyone's immune system is different, I would not associate that with why controversy arises.

The yearly flu vaccine is manufactured on based on information on which strain of Influenza is likely to hit North America. Not all strains are included in the vaccine. There are many influenza viruses; hence the letters and number of the virus (H1N1 Swine Flu).

Read more here: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/viruses/types.htm

The MMR vaccine is different as it targets a specific type of virus/bacteria.

There are some that think they were "fine and not sick" prior to a vaccine. Then get sick after. (I was fine prior to the flu vaccine, then after I was sick and bed ridden for several days.) These people had a legitimate experience. But how they think they got sick is incorrect.

Most likely these people were already battling a virus or bacteria prior to the infection. The added work load on the immune system the vaccine added was what tipped them into being sick with the original virus or bacteria.

Imagine your immune system as an engine and you are applying full throttle. It straining hard already. You add a shot of nitrous and it works harder and blows up. It's not the nitrous chemical that made it blow up; the added demand blew the engine.

You can not get sick from the vaccine as there are no live viruses.

Semi-related, around what month or date does the new strain of flu vaccine usually get released? Is it roughly the same time every year?
