Did childhood vaccination really eliminate measles in the United States? What risks does the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine expose children to? “I was born ... and grew up when there was no measles vaccine. All of us got measles,” says Dr. Russell Blaylock. “Most children recover from it and they have lifelong immunity,” he adds. After a 26-year career as a neurosurgeon, Dr. Blaylock now focuses on nutritional research. This includes finding natural ways to counter the effects of common toxins—among which he would include childhood vaccines. “The more vaccines, the more unhealthy [the children] were—not just neurological diseases, but more ear infections, more eczema, more asthma,” says Dr. Blaylock, having compared samples of vaccinated, partially vaccinated, and unvaccinated children. Is the eradication of childhood diseases like polio and measles owed entirely to vaccines? What untold dangers do vaccines expose us to? How do vaccinated children compare to the unvaccinated in overall health? On Vital Signs with Brendon Fallon, we probe these and other aspects of childhood vaccines. Up Next:
