A study done in 2017 showed that within a 2015 measles outbreak in California, a large number of cases occurred within recent vaccinees (73 out of 194 cases). Researchers within the study developed a test to identify measles vaccine strains within patients. While this study is one of the first of its kind, this is not the first time that the effectiveness of the measles vaccine has been brought into question. As early as 1994, researchers published a paper questioning how effective the measles vaccine was, as the measles has yet to be eliminated. Shortly after the paper was published, a second dose of the measles vaccine was introduced.
There have been many cases of measles outbreaks in well-vaccinated areas. This has been well documented in China in 2013, in Israel in 2017, as well as many places in the U.S. That being said, measles outbreaks often occur in unvaccinated areas as well.
How often are measles outbreaks that cause quite a stir as a result of mainstream media coverage actually a result of the MMR vaccine itself?

While children have died from measles, many children have died from the measles vaccine as well. Data from the FDA Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) shows that the MMR vaccine has 93,929 accounts of adverse events, 1,810 disabilities, 6,902 hospitalizations, and 463 deaths. VAERS is a voluntary reporting system and it’s estimated to only capture 1% of adverse.
