Measles

Children's illness and mothers' annoyance

They found a vaccine for her
Its roots may be cut off from the ground

Measles is a well-known disease that every mother knows about, because it infects her children in the first years of their lives, and hardly anyone escapes them.

- A disease that affects a person once;

Those who escape from it remain exposed to the possibility of contracting it throughout their lives, both men and women. This is because one infection with it protects the child from a new second infection, except rarely. The first infection undoubtedly protects him. If there is something in the disease that pleases him, then that first infection may satisfy the mother and satisfy the father. In that it is a means of immunization against this annoying disease for life.

- Continuous nursing;

It is a truly annoying disease, especially for mothers, because it requires continuous nursing. I know of a mother who infected one of her young children with measles, so she gathered them all together in one room, so that the infection could be transmitted to all of them, so their nursing would be a group, and thus there would not be a new, separate nursing process for each one. who are they .

- A disease that may reach epidemic proportions;

It can be understood from this that this disease is rapidly transmitted, and its transmission increases rapidly until it reaches the level of an epidemic.

In England, in 1961, this disease became an epidemic among children, as infections reached 41,000 in one week, and in that entire year it reached 760,000 infections.

The risk of this disease in a country with advanced medical services, such as England, is not great. It bothers the mother, keeps the doctors busy and exhausts them, and nothing more. This is because of the advancement of awareness in this country, and because of the good practice of nursing, whether it is done by mothers or nurses in hospitals.

But the danger of this disease is great in backward nations, those that wait for it and call it developing. This is due to a lack of medical means and a deficiency in nursing care, as well as due to malnutrition and its inadequacy.

A doctor said at a recent conference held regarding this disease: Measles in Nigeria, an African country, is considered a serious childhood disease, and that about a quarter of the children who are hospitalized with this disease die. Another doctor at the conference said that in Chile, South America, measles is the most dangerous infectious disease these days.
The same applies to India, and the same to many Asian peoples And Africa.

- Disease germs;

The cause of this disease was hidden, like many diseases, until the American professor John Enders revealed its affliction, as it was a type of virus.
By detecting this virus, it was natural for him to seek...
Doctors, and the author of the revelation himself, is striving to produce a vaccine with which to vaccinate children to protect them from this disease, or in medical terms, to protect them from it, based on the successful practice that doctors have followed in combating such diseases.

- Protecting bodies;

The issue of immunity that the zygote provides to disease in general has become well-known today.

Anxious is an enemy that invades the body. The body cannot be patient with invasion, as it contains the will to live, and the will to resist, even if its owner, the owner of the body, is unaware of it. For this purpose, the body creates bodies that provide defense and repel these invading microbes so that they do not harm the body. It may be victorious and the body will be healthy, or the distressed person may be victorious and the condition will become worse.

These propellant bodies are formed in the body to repel every foreign substance that enters the body. They are not limited to microbes.

They called them antibodies, a literal translation of the English word Antibodies and the French Anticorps.

Perhaps the name “protective bodies” (from immunity and immunization) is easier to pronounce, and it has a closer relationship to the function of these bodies, as they protect the body from harms related to the entry of any foreign body into it.

- Immunity is given by the patient and remains for the rest of his life.

When the human body, which was not previously infected with the disease, begins to produce protective antibodies, which appear in the blood two or three days after the rash appears on the face and body. After recovery, these protective bodies remain in the body until the end of life, and into old age. It is what protects the body so that it does not usually become infected with this disease again after that.

We say that this disease is a childhood disease, because it is an adult disease
They had contracted the disease once before and were immune to it, when they were children.

But there are areas on earth that this disease did not enter, but it did infect the entire population, including children, the elderly, and everything in between. It is a “virgin” land, as they call it. The disease enters it, spreads, and becomes an epidemic.

A historical example of this is Fiji Algeria
Fiji Islands in the Pacific Ocean.
In 1875, the measles virus entered it, carried by a warship that was coming from Australia. The disease spread through the people like wildfire. Its fire did not die down until the disease struck everyone in it, young and old, men and women. Death reaped its harvest, reaching 40,000 souls.

This situation was repeated in more than one place on earth.
A “bakir” place that had never been visited by measles before.

- Immunity given by the mother, to the fetus;

Mothers are usually women who contracted measles when they were young, because in their blood there is a remnant of these protective bodies, and they are transmitted during birth to their newborns, so they do not become infected with measles in the first months of their lives. But how quickly the children's bodies run out of these incubating bodies and are exposed to infection and contract the disease.

- Estimation of protected objects;

The question that comes to mind after all this is: Do these protective bodies exist in the blood? .

And the answer. Yes . This was particularly confirmed after the discovery of the measles virus. The researchers succeeded in detecting these protective bodies (there are three methods for detection, which there is no need to go into), and they added that they were able to measure the extent to which they reached in the body.

- The need for a vaccine to protect against this disease;

It is a need felt by people in developed countries.
This is a need that people feel more in underdeveloped countries.
As for developed countries, it may be said that there is no need for a vaccine as long as the disease infects children, and this infection is sufficient for lifelong immunity. In answer to this, we mention the efforts that are wasted because of it, those made by mothers at home, and doctors and nurses in hospitals.

Then who wants to get a disease for the sake of immunity?
from him . In underdeveloped countries, their need for immunity is clear. With lack of awareness and medical services, many patients die.

- The story of the new vaccine;

This is the old story of all vaccines, repeated.
After discovering the virus, Dr. Enders, the discoverer of the virus, thought of making a vaccine in the well-known way: first preparing this virus, raising it and growing it, or as they say, “cultivating it,” then taking quantities of it and weakening its strength and pathogenicity using means that succeeded in weakening the virulence of other viruses in the world. Laboratories.
He researched, tested, and succeeded. And everyone is on the path
Continue.
The vaccine is of course called, as is customary, the Anders vaccine.
This vaccine was given to thousands of children, and it worked and protected them from the disease. They tried it on children in schools, hospitals and at home. These children were exposed to the infection but it did not infect them, and the immunized brothers met with infected brothers, and the disease was not transmitted to them.

- the future ;

The bright future suggests the eradication of measles from the earth, but without that there are many obstacles, some of them technical, some related to the means, procedure, and implementation, and some related to the awareness of people and peoples.

The first thing to be confirmed is: How long does this immunity last? The disease protects longevity, so does the vaccine protect longevity as well?

The results are promising. Testing the blood after inoculation, and after a period of time, indicated that a sufficient amount of the protective bodies had reached, but the longer the time passes, the greater the detection and confirmation than we hope.

Laboratories are now busy producing a vaccine that will benefit the masses, make it easier for them, and combine, in addition to simplicity, the fulfillment of the goal: I mean permanent immunity.

The caravan of knowledge is moving, and with its progress, people's faith increases
With knowledge, especially in backward peoples, charlatans, charlatans, and everyone who follows the path of Satan, while thinking that it is the path of God, are exposed.
