Editor’s note: This article is about mumps alone. The combination MMR shot will be discussed separately.
Highlights
- Before the mumps vaccine, an estimated 95% of Americans had mumps in childhood, many asymptomatic, and the illness was rarely fatal.
- Many studies have shown a history of childhood mumps could protect against various cancers and coronary events later in life.
- One of the pioneers in the field of virology was a proponent of intentional exposure to mumps and rubella to induce natural immunity and avoid complications from infection later in life.
- It is widely accepted in the medical community that the efficacy of the mumps vaccine is questionable at best.
- If our vaccines don’t last very long, we’re creating a situation where vaccination is less safe overall, and riskier than acquiring the disease naturally.
- Mumps vaccine safety has been questioned so much that Japan removed it from their recommended immunizations.
