– QUESTIONS IN THE MEDICINE CABINET from; Dr. Lindsey, Dr. Brian, the news, Internet and Joey Pals in the “Medicine Cabinet”.
1. Measles outbreak in Texas and New Mexico? (Yes, in W. Texas. 125 cases. First child to die of measles in 22 yeasr. Measles was wiped out years ago. All these children were sick and many were hospitalized. All were unvaccinated. 18% of all the children in this area opted out due to acceptable reasons, i.e. religious. These numbers are the highest since 2019. Medical officials blamed this outbreak on the vaccine. ABSOLUTLY IMPOSSIBLE.)
– REPORT that w/ the measles vaccine you get 2 doses AND it is 97% effective and are protected FOR LIFE. Measles has one of the highest mortality rates for children. The geno-type of Measles has changed. The vaccine works against any know Measles virus.
2. Why is this flu season worse than others? (3% of all deaths in the U.S. right now are from the flu. Highest rate in the last 10 years. 4 times worse than last year. This year might be the worst in 20 years. This is the time of year where the vaccine is developed for NEXT year. Not too late to get your flu vaccine this year. Look @ the vaccine sites on Joey’s website report of this interview.)
