Measles? Whose Measles?

Im „Juno Magazine – a natural approach for family life“, einem in Bristol (UK) erscheinenden Magazin, schildert in der 28-cover-web-300x300Ausgabe vom 3. August 2016 eine gewisse Emma Hiwaizi, ansonsten befasst mit „Laughing Yoga Sessions„, in einem bemerkenswerten Beitrag ihre Erfahrungen während der Masernerkrankung ihrer bewusst ungeimpft gelassenen Töchter im vergangenen Frühjahr. Der Text ist bemerkenswert deshalb, weil er nicht nur (eher unbeabsichtigt) geeignet ist, Werbung für ein konsequentes Durchimpfen zu machen – wenn man sich die Einzelheiten der Krankengeschichte und das durchaus begrenzte Amüsement der Kinder über ihr Befinden durchliest. Nein, bemerkenswert ist er auch, weil dem Leser die Triebfeder für das bewusste Absehen mancher Eltern von einem Impfschutz ihrer Kinder im letzten Absatz dieses Textes geradezu ins Gesicht springt. Man muss der englischen Sprache auch gar nicht weiter mächtig sein, man muss nur hier und da die richtigen Stellen unterstreichen; etwa so:

I am still glad I chose not to vaccinate. I think all three of my girls have been strengthened by the measles and I am grateful that I was able to stay at home and look after them. It was a surreal spring. Outside was glorious and sunny and for over a month we were at home in the dark. It was a challenging and sometimes lonely experience. I now have much more respect for families who do choose to vaccinate. I think I was very naive about what measles involved, just how ill children can get and how easy it is for secondary complications to set in. In our house the girls had whooping cough, mumps and chicken pox without a murmur, but measles was in a different league. It was hard to find useful information about how to best care for them and it was utterly exhausting. My eldest daughter was angry that she was ill and missed crucial revision time. I think she will probably vaccinate her children. But I would do it all again, though I would give them Vitamin A and I would probably not let them use their laptops when they were meant to be resting in complete darkness. I think it is a shame that we have lost the art of nursing; I certainly felt I was making it up as I went along
