The People's Study

In this segment, we hear from Misty Gehrke, who was injured as an adult from an MMR vaccination. Her story begins in 2019, when she was notified that she had been exposed to measles while working as an early childhood educator. Her choices were either to stay out of work without pay until the outbreak was considered to be over or get the shot. Because of her financial situation, news panic and state of emergency, Misty felt pressured into the latter. It was just days later that she began experiencing symptoms of an adverse reaction and now finds difficulty in completing simple, daily tasks. Until her disability case is resolved, Misty struggles to provide for her family and get the care she needs. Listen to her heart-wrenching story during the show.
