In 1974, my son at age 6 mos. came in contact with measles at his aunts' house. When he came home, I then came in contact. I was 21, and within a couple of days,,,very sick. I had a fever of 105, a cough that wouldn't stop until I was retching, and a rash all over my stomach and chest. I was delerious, and I don't ever remember being that sick at any other time in my life. Although I thought I would die, my son never got sick. I called the Dr. and he said because my son was so young, he didn't actually "get" the measles, just passed them to me. He was vaccinated the next month.

Pfizer spent over 2 billion in marketing a few years ago...2 billion in marketing. I wonder who makes this particular vaccination and articles like this could easily be fueled by such companies.
