[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1659821, member: 12607"] 76Bar, What I'm seeing in all these studies is that even though the medical authorities say that those of us who were born prior to 1957 are regarded as 'immune' to measles, mumps, rubella - either because we had the diseases, or had the earlier vaccines - the antibodies we have are not the same as those directed against the viral strains in the MMR II vaccine, and further, the immune 'memory' cells that we had may have declined to the point that they're essentially no longer there. And it looks like the antibodies directed against the strains in the MMR II vaccine are what are protective against COVID19 disease severity, though they apparently don't prevent infection. So... recommendations are that folks over 40 yrs of age, who've not had the MMR II series, would probably benefit from getting those vaccinations. All the 'science' suggests that it's a low-risk/high potential gain endeavor. 40 yr track record for this vaccine... any side effects are well-known. First preliminary reports of this association surfaced as far back as March 2020... I think the media has been potentially guilty of mass murder by way of not reporting this. Can't even begin to figure how many older folks might not have died while waiting for this COVID vaccine to be developed, approved, and distributed. My physician wanted me to have MMR antibody titers run first... mine all said 'protective'... mumps was >300 (I remember having had mumps when I was somewhere between 6 & 10 yrs of age) ... but all indications are that those antibodies don't protect against COVID19 disease. I told the MD that he could either script it out for me so insurance would pay for it, or I'd pay for it out of pocket, but I WAS going to get it even if I had to pay full price. Turned out, insurance covered it, didn't need a prescription from a doctor, but even if it hadn't, two doses at ~$100 a pop was money well spent, when it looks like folks with antibodies due to MMR II vaccine have mild to no symptoms... no hospitalization, no death. So... I went to Kroger pharmacy and got the MMR II... get my booster on Wednesday of this week. [/QUOTE]
