Re: The short lifespan of vaccine immunity

Agreed,

more from Center for Disease Control and Propagation on loss of vaccine efficacy...

"Dr Alan Hinman, former director of the Division of Immunization, Center for Preventative Medicine of the US CDC, said “there is virtually no epidemiological study with absolutely incontrovertible results that allow only one interpretation.”; Edward Mortimer, staunch advocate of vaccinations, said “Clearly there are multiple reasons for the decline in mortality due to infectious disease in the United States in this century, and in many instances it is impossible to determine the relative contribution of different factors. There is little question that the natural history of some infectious diseases has changed spontaneously over the years for reasons not entirely clear.”; a statement by L Dublin in Health Progess, 1935-1945 , publication of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. (pg 12), 1948 corroborates and elucidates Mortimer’s thoughts: “…the combined death rate of diphtheria, measles, scarlet fever, and whooping cough declined 95 percent among children ages 1 to 14 from 1911 to 1945, before the mass immunization programs started in the United States.”; and, according to the World Health Statistics Annual, 1973-1976, Vol 2, there has been a steady decline of infectious diseases “in most ‘developing’ countries regardless of the percentage of immunizations administered in these countries. It appears that generally improved conditions of sanitation are largely responsible for preventing ‘infectious’ diseases.” “Herd immunity” was originally defined back in the early part of the last century as protection of any given population from a transmissible disease due to lifelong or long term immunity from having contracted and recovered from the disease. Immunity due to high standards of nutrition, cleanliness, sanitation, etc was a co-factor. (1)(2) As the editor’s pertussis example and other examples above show, “herd immunity” through vaccination is a flawed concept; for various reasons vaccine efficacy is highly variable and never 100% and any immunity derived from vaccines is only short-lived."
