There is another vaccine your vet will advise you to give your dog and your local NGO/animal rights activists are advocating for: that vaccine is distemper.
Distemper is a virus closely related to the measles virus and affects many different species. It is a common practice among veterinarians to give the measles vaccine to dogs, especially the very first vaccine received.
The theory is that the maternal antibodies will neutralize the distemper vaccine but the measles vaccine can overcome this maternal antibody interference.
Here's a question for you: Have you ever heard something more ridiculous? Let's think it through logically: if maternal antibodies neutralize the distemper antigen(distemper virus), they also protect against the distemper disease.
Why even consider giving a vaccine to nursing pups while their mother's milk protects them and why use a virus foreign to the dog species?
Dogs don't get measles even when the viruses are related. They are sufficiently different to prevent a proper reaction.
Why use a virus foreign to the dog species when it is more likely to cause encephalitis and since a dog's body can't even begin to figure out how to fight it off? Remember that this practice is employed with the youngest of pups.
They have the most immature immune systems, placing them at the highest risk. There is another comparison between measles and distemper and that is the effect of these vaccines on children and dogs respectively.
The measles vaccine is now given as MMR, measles mumps rubella, since single vaccines are a thing of the past. MMR Vaccine is the number one trigger of autism. More than 90% of the parents of autistic children say that the decline in health followed immunization with MMR.
Autism is a large spectrum disorder characterized by behavioral issues, self-destruction, the inability to relate to others, gastrointestinal problems, etc. Many dogs following the distemper vaccination developed precisely these kinds of problems:
obsessive and destructive behaviors, disregard for pain, prone to self-injury, fear or aggression without a visible cause, sudden screaming, extreme sensitivity to sensory stimulation and inability to bond with owners or to bond with other dogs.
Even when exposed to the distemper virus, not every dog will develop the clinical disease. In a very young pup all you might see is diarrhea, possibly blood stained and loss of appetite. In more mature adult dogs. distemper comes in 2 waves. (Continued in next thread)
