Study Shows 37% of Measles Cases Within Study Occur in Recent Vaccinees

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? How often are people in these measles outbreaks analyzed and tested to determine whether they have contracted a wild type measles, or a vaccine strain measles?

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.

If you are worried about the measles, (vaccinated or unvaccinated), or any other disease, the best thing you can do is prioritize gut health through a healthy diet. Check out this article for more on how to heal the gut.




Trump Comes out As Pro-Vaccine – Says We All Need To Get Measles Shot

Today U.S. President Donald Trump on urged Americans to get the measles vaccination.

“The vaccinations are so important. This is really going around now,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “They have to get their shots.”

Nearly 700 cases have been confirmed by federal health officials as of this week in a resurgence that has been concentrated in a handful of states — New York, Washington, Michigan, New Jersey, and California — although 22 states in all are affected. Measles can cause severe complications or death.

So far, no U.S. fatalities have been reported.

USA Today just published an article worth reading, Why Big Pharma distrust is fueling the anti-vaxxer movement and playing a role in the measles outbreak

We’d like to take a moment to remind our readers of the one Candidate big pharma is most scared of. Bernie Sanders. He doesn’t take corporate money. He talks about reining in big pharma all the time. He hasn’t come out against vaccines but we have to get the money out of politics and some of the corruption out of the pharmaceutical industry first.

Judge Rejected Antivax Lawsuit Over New York City’s Mandatory Measles Vaccination Order

Last Thursday a Brooklyn judge denied a petition that sought to eliminate New York City’s mandatory measles vaccination order.

An anonymous group of parents brought the lawsuit to court arguing that the order isn’t constitutional, but the judge sided with municipal health authorities.

The Judge is reported to have called the order “a rare but necessary step” to contain the worst measles outbreak to hit the city since 1991.

News organizations report that the outbreak has infected more than 300 people so far, with most of the infected being children from the Orthodox Jewish communities in Brooklyn boroughs.

Parents are facing fines of $1,000 if they don’t vaccinate children of whom health officials say may have been exposed to the virus.

And the city wasted no time enforcing its upheld order. As the judge made his decision Thursday, city health officials doled out the first penalties to violators, according to the New York Times. Officials sent summonses to the parents of three children for failing to vaccinate the children even after city officials determined that they had been exposed to the dangerous viral illness.

In the U.S. at this time it’s not possible to get a measles vaccine without getting the Mumps and Rubella via the MMR vaccine. The MMRII is by Merek which is a live virus combination measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine. There is also the ProQuad option also produced and distributed by Merck, which is a live virus combination measles-mumps-rubella-varicella (MMR-V) vaccine. Both products are produced and distributed by Merck.

Merek says both vaccines are safe to be given to children of age one year or older, but the New York order includes children six months or older to be vaccinated.

On the CDC’s website, under “Who Should Not Get MMR Vaccine?” the CDC lists the following:

  • Has any severe, life-threatening allergies. A person who has ever had a life-threatening allergic reaction after a dose of MMR vaccine, or has a severe allergy to any part of this vaccine, may be advised not to be vaccinated. Ask your health care provider if you want information about vaccine components.
  • Is pregnant, or thinks she might be pregnant. Pregnant women should wait to get MMR vaccine until after they are no longer pregnant. Women should avoid getting pregnant for at least 1 month after getting MMR vaccine.
  • Has a weakened immune system due to disease (such as cancer or HIV/AIDS) or medical treatments (such as radiation, immunotherapy, steroids, or chemotherapy).
  • Has a parent, brother, or sister with a history of immune system problems.
  • Has ever had a condition that makes them bruise or bleed easily.
  • Has recently had a blood transfusion or received other blood products. You might be advised to postpone MMR vaccination for 3 months or more.
  • Has tuberculosis.
  • Has gotten any other vaccines in the past 4 weeks. Live vaccines given too close together might not work as well.
  • Is not feeling well. A mild illness, such as a cold, is usually not a reason to postpone a vaccination. Someone who is moderately or severely ill should probably wait. Your doctor can advise you.

New York Declares Measles Emergency – Now Requiring Vaccinations or $1,000 Fine

In parts of Brooklyn’s Williamsburg section, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio declared a public health emergency Tuesday following a measles outbreak. The outbreak is reportedly affecting the Orthodox Jewish community. The media and public officials say the outbreak is due to a growing movement against vaccinations.

Last week, the city ordered religious schools and day care programs in the affected communities to exclude unvaccinated students or risk being shut down.

The City’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is expected to check vaccination records of people who may have been in contact with infected patients. The mayor said the city would issue violations with potential fines of $1,000 for those who don’t get vaccinated.

The order applies to anyone who is working, living, or going to school in the ZIP codes of the neighborhood of the outbreak. The order requires unvaccinated people of the areas to get the vaccine. The order also applies to children more than six months old.

The city can’t legally force anyone to get vaccinated but officials say they can impose the $1,000 fine for those who choose not to vaccinate.

If people will simply cooperate quickly, nobody will have to pay a fine.”

Mayor Bill de Blasio

Dr. Oxiris Barbot is the commissioner of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. She blames the outbreak on “a small group of anti-vaxxers” in the targeted neighborhoods. The commissioner is empowered by law to issue such orders in cases when they might be necessary to protect against a serious public health threat.

They have been spreading dangerous misinformation based on fake science. We stand with the majority of people in this community who have worked hard to protect their children and those at risk.”

Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot

This is the epicenter of a measles outbreak that is very, very troubling and must be dealt with immediately. The measles vaccine works. It is safe, it is effective, it is time-tested.”

Mayor Bill de Blasio

News reports say that the measles virus was introduced into the community by a person who contracted the disease in Israel, which is said to also be dealing with a measles outbreak.

There are two measles-containing vaccines used in the United States. We have the MMRII by Merek which is a live virus combination measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine. We also have the ProQuad option also produced and distributed by Merck, which is a live virus combination measles-mumps-rubella-varicella (MMR-V) vaccine. Both products are produced and distributed by Merck.

Merek says both vaccines are safe to be given to children of age one year or older, but the New York order includes children six months or older to be vaccinated.

The World Health Organization says more than 110,000 people, mostly children, died of measles worldwide in 2017. The last recorded death in the United States from measles was in 2015.

We cannot find vaccine damage statistics at this time. Septics say they are grossly underreported, but the damage and death statistics are not made public. According to the CDC, from 2006 to 2017 more than 3.4 billion doses of vaccines were distributed in the U.S.  Of the petitions filed within 2006 to 2017, 6,253 petitions were adjudicated by the vaccine Courts, with 4,291 compensated.
