Infections Come & Go

… be cured. So when you vaccinate to avoid an infection, what you potentially are doing is causing a disease.”

Infections come and go. The question is what they leave behind.

Studies have reported links between natural childhood measles/chickenpox and lower adult cancer and heart-disease risk:

• Albonico et al., 1998 — History of febrile childhood infections (measles, chickenpox, rubella, etc.) linked to lower overall cancer risk, strongest for chickenpox/rubella and non-breast cancers.

• Montella et al., 2006 (Leukemia Research) — Childhood measles and chickenpox linked to lower Hodgkin lymphoma; measles also linked to lower non-Hodgkin lymphoma (esp. follicular B-cell).

• Tennant et al., 2013 (Eur J Epidemiol, Newcastle Thousand Families, n=1,142 born 1947) — Childhood measles linked to lower cancer mortality as adults.

• Pesonen et al., 2007 (Atherosclerosis) — Childhood contagious diseases (including varicella/chickenpox) linked to lower coronary heart disease and fewer acute coronary events.

• Kubota et al., 2015 / JACC study (Atherosclerosis, 103,836 Japanese adults, ~21-year follow-up) — History of measles (and measles + mumps) linked to lower cardiovascular mortality.
