MANDATORY VACCINATION. HIDDEN numbers to those on the street! Why other countries do NOT have a vaccination law

There is a disease that is wreaking havoc in Romania, exceeding the number of coronavirus infections. Although we have a cure for this contagious viral infection, people choose not to prevent the disease. And some of them are now on the streets in Bucharest, protesting against compulsory vaccination.

In June 2020, in Romania, 20,103 cases of people infected with COVID – 19 virus (coronavirus) were confirmed. Instead, when we talk about measles, the numbers were higher compared to the same period of time.

Hidden figures on the street: In 2020, more than 20,000 infections and dozens of deaths from measles. Or the numbers they didn’t want to see …

We don’t know much about this balance of infections, which is not broadcast on TV. We have a weapon to defeat the infection, that is, the vaccine, and we do not take advantage of it!

So, only in June last year, when we had 20,103 cases of coronavirus infections, the total number of confirmed cases of measles in Romania was 20,150, of which 64 deaths, as announced by the National Center for Surveillance and Control of Communicable Diseases. Unfortunately, this balance is not shown daily on television, as is the case with the Covid-19 balance. If we saw these figures more often, we would know the size of the disaster in the case of measles. The paradox is that we could stop the epidemic, but people do not want to curb the disease by resorting to vaccination.

Measles is a infectious disease that often leads to complications

Thus, according to the National Center for Surveillance and Control of Communicable Diseases, out of four people who get measles, one needs hospitalization, and for one in 1,000 measles patients, the disease is fatal. Although there is a measles vaccine, people choose not to get vaccinated.

Why other countries do not have mandatory vaccination. Rafila: The situation that shows EVERYTHING compared to Romania

Alexandru Rafila explained, during the online debate “World Immunization Week – the week of hope in the fight against epidemics”, organized by DC Media Group, why countries like Denmark do not have a vaccination law, but Romania needs this regulation.

“Why do we need a vaccination law and why don’t other countries have a vaccination law? Because in Romania, as in the developed countries of the West – France, Germany, Italy – the vaccination coverage has registered constant decreases of -over time and this has required the development of legislation to cover this inconsistency of vaccination programs, so that we reach the levels recommended by the WHO for children, ie 95% vaccine coverage, a level that provides protection against communicable, preventable diseases by vaccination “, explained Professor Rafila.

Why other countries do not have a vaccination law

I was saying that there are countries that do not have this legislation – Denmark, the Nordic countries – they do not have such programs because there is no need. There, vaccine coverage is somewhere between 95-98% and, obviously, there is no need for such a law. There was no need in Romania either, but since 2009, vaccination coverage has steadily decreased by about 10-15 percent, and today, for the measles vaccine we have vaccination coverage of 85 at the first dose – administered at the age of one year, but at the second dose, which is given at the age of five, we have somewhere around 65%. This has led us to witness, for four years, a measles epidemic that has caused 20,000 diseases, caused 64 deaths and we expect late complications of these measles diseases that would have been completely avoided if we had vaccine coverage similar to that recorded 10-15 years ago “, said Alexandru Rafila.

“We have a problem because, in Romania, as you know, in the last ten years, the vaccine coverage has constantly decreased and we have already had a measles epidemic for four years that is still evolving. There is also a danger of the recurrence of some diseases that we consider eliminated “, Rafila underlined.

Dr. Valeria Herdea spoke at DC News and DC Medical interviews about what “correct information” means and how important it is.

Dr. Valeria Herdea gave two examples worth mentioning.

“Take a look at the model of well-developed companies. In Japan, about 10 years ago, there was a denial of vaccination … And what did they find? That at less than a year and a half there was an explosion of health problems and pertussis in bloom, ie whooping cough. They had so many problems that the hospitals were full. And then, they reintroduced the vaccine into the scheme.

We’re looking at measles in the United States. Measles was considered eradicated in the 2000s in the United States. Three years ago, they woke up to a massive measles epidemic because small ethnic communities refused to be vaccinated. They are strong countries, at extremes, with strong health systems “, the doctor explained. Read here in detail.
