Thankyou David, I had forgotten (& I knew I had missed plenty) that the MMR has tested positive for glyphosate - Samsel-Seneff

Sorry Vincent what were you saying about the measles vaccine ?

This truly is the crime of all centuries ! And you guys are backing this are you ?

Vincent-Eindecker-Fred-Joseph

The crime of the Measles Vaccine for you:

Merck’s MMR II vaccine (as well as the chickenpox, Pentacel, and all Hep-A containing vaccines) is manufactured using human fetal cell lines and is heavily contaminated with human fetal DNA from the production process.

Levels in our children can reach up to 5 ng/ml after vaccination, depending on the age, weight and blood volume of the child. That level is known to activate Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), which can cause autoimmune attacks.

To illustrate the autoimmune capability of very small amounts of fetal DNA, consider this: labor is triggered by fetal DNA from the baby that builds up in the mother’s bloodstream, triggering a massive immune rejection of the baby. This is labor.

It works like this: fetal DNA fragments [i] from a baby with about 300 base pairs in length are found in a pregnant mother’s serum. When they reach between 0.46– 5.08 ng/mL in serum, they trigger labor via the TLR9 mechanism [ii]. The corresponding blood levels are 0.22 ng/ml and 3.12 ng/ml.

The fetal DNA levels in a child after being injected with fetal-manufactured vaccines reach the same level that triggers autoimmune rejection of baby by mother.

Anyone who says that the fetal DNA contaminating our vaccines is harmless either does not know anything about immunity and Toll- like receptors or they are not telling the truth. (aka lying)

Vincent Iannelli (MD of what I just don't know.)

Would you care to address the second "M" in the MMR please ?
You know that elephant ? The one you are pretending doesn't exist ?
The mumps component faked by Merck with Rabbits blood and been in litigation since 2010.

https://www.reuters.com/article/health-vaccine-idUSL1N0YQ0W820150604

This fraud entirely invalidates the whole MMR vaccine.
There is No need to talk about measles until this urgent matter is resolved.
This total fraud and toxic concoction has been injected into millions of babies and you Vincent
dare to defend this crime against humanity on the basis of some Disney Science logic which you clearly are a zombie follower of !
----------------------------------------------------------------
(Reuters) - Two former Merck & Co Inc scientists accusing the drugmaker of falsifying tests of its exclusive mumps vaccine said in a court filing on Monday that Merck is refusing to respond to questions about the efficacy of the vaccine.

Attorneys at Constantine Cannon, who represent the scientists, asked U.S. Magistrate Judge Lynne Sitarski of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania to compel Merck to respond to their discovery request, which asks the company to give the efficacy of the vaccine as a percentage.

Instead of answering the question, the letter said, Merck has been consistently evasive, using “cut-and-paste” answers saying it cannot run a new clinical trial to determine the current efficacy, and providing only data from 50 years ago.

“Merck should not be permitted to raise as one of its principal defenses that its vaccine has a high efficacy, which is accurately represented on the product’s label, but then refuse to answer what it claims that efficacy actually is,” the letter said.
A representative of Merck could not immediately be reached for comment.

The two scientists, Stephen Krahling and Joan Wlochowski, filed their whistleblower lawsuit in 2010 claiming Merck, the only company licensed by the Food and Drug Administration to sell a mumps vaccine in the United States, skewed tests of the vaccine by adding animal antibodies to blood samples.

Diana,

I don't think the links went through. Here they are in order:

2. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23543773

3. https://www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2807/1560-7917.ES2013.18.49.20649

The current statement among vaccine advocates is that no case of shedding of the measles vaccine has ever resulted in infection in other people. In secondary infections.

In order to shed, the person having gotten the measles vaccine has to be within a fairly tight time frame when infecting -- call it a month, to be safe, though five or six weeks' duration have been cited.

In order to have contracted the measles infection via someone who has shed the vaccine via very recent vaccination, there has to be some form of proving contact and ruling out of other vectors of infection.

In order to prove the connection, the strain also needs typed, and the two strains must match -- they must both be the vaccine strain!

Has anyone proven that shedding causes infection in others? We know that measles vaccination causes measles in the vaccinated, which the government re-names as a mere reaction, further claiming the person with the reaction isn't actually contagious. Proof otherwise? Thanks! It's a big storm out there!

The debate about vaccines isnt coming to an end any soon. Vaccines play a major role in the control and prevention of diseases across the globe and the moment people understand how important they are they will start to appreciate them. The article is quite detailed and i love that. Keep up the spirit.

A true tragedy, instead of an imaginary one. And a higher risk from dying on a ride at Disney than dying from measles caught at Disney?

I wonder how many people have died at Disney from ride accidents and traumas and heart problems vs catching measles there?

But how do you rebuttal the herd immunity argument. Basically if there is a vaccine injury or death, thats basically collateral damage for the greater good.

They argue vaccine coverage must be 95% or higher or they're not effective.

Doctors always bring this up when i tell em of my hesitation to vaccines. Even though my first child suffered seizures, a fever and behavior changes as a reaction to his 2 month well baby visit, when he got 8 needles at once.

They assure me the reaction was just a coincidence. Then bring up the whole herd immunity angle to inject my second child.

Jeannette
Here's a way out thought. I noticed in one of your comments it stated:
Group B predominates in Sub-Saharan and Central Africa, group G in Southeast Asia, and group H in China and Southeast Asia.

In the Sub-Saharan and Central Africa are the countries of: Sierra Leone, Senegal & Liberia-said to be the epic-centers of the Ebola outbreak. People were in and out of those countries for weeks or months-CDC, other government officials, missionaries, military etc. Since the B genotype is specific to that area, is it possible that it could have been imported to the US through those people? How can the Health Dept of California and the CDC be so sure that the outbreak began in Disney or even California?

Any of the people onsite in Africa could have been infected and either chose not to disclose the illness to anyone because they didn't know they had the measles or they were asymptomatic and it got transmitted that way. Many of the reports I read stated the symptoms people were experiencing mild. Maybe the CDC did know some of the people were ill when they got back and throwing measles into the mix on top if Ebola and EV-D68 would give the population that impression they were more incompetent than they came off being. Illness is one thing that is not in short supply on the African Continent. Just thinking outside the box.

Danita,

Thank you very much for your comments about vaccines and the military. It breaks my heart and angers me greatly that our service men and women are not allowed to exercise their rights to utilize vaccine exemptions. The irony is too huge to miss...those charged with defending and fighting for freedom have their freedom stripped from them with regards to forced and dangerous medical procedures, i.e. vaccines. Not only does that negatively impact their own health and well-being, but clear generational effects are seen, too, as you mentioned, in their negatively-impacted offspring.

I know of many young people who continue to have their future career choices limited daily by ever-increasing vaccine mandates and exemption restrictions/eliminations. Some of our best and brightest will no longer be choosing to go into the military, medicine, or even teaching, for that will most likely be the next target group for vaccine mandates.

Wonder when enough Americans are going to wake up to these egregious violations of fundamental human rights, known as vaccine mandates? Not soon enough.

Thank you again for chiming in, Danita.

re measles genotypes:

http://benthamopen.com/tovacj/articles/V003/SI0018TOVACJ/76TOVACJ.pdf

"..., some MV genotypes are associated with a specific geographic region while others are more widely distributed. Group B predominates in Sub-Saharan and Central Africa, group G in Southeast Asia, and group H in China and Southeast Asia. Group D, however, is more widely distributed and is found in East Africa, parts of Europe and the Indian subcontinent."

...

"In the years before general use of the vaccine and up to
2005, there was no joint information on the genotypes circulating in Europe that could associate the appearance of the same genotype in different European Region countries.
The evidence for this period allows few conclusions to be drawn. Between the 1960s and end of the 1990s, genotype A was
detected in the former Czechoslovakia, Finland, Russia and
Denmark. In 2001-2002, genotype A was detected in Belarus. Since all current vaccines belong to this genotype, after
the introduction of the vaccine, the complete sequence of the
H gene and/or the vaccination history must be studied to
determine whether these cases are due to the wild virus or
are vaccine induced."

Ate there human genetic reasons why some genotypes operate regionally and would that possibly make the type A vaccines more of a risk for some groups than others, as the findings of William Thompson/Brian Hooker suggest for African-Americans (boys) receiving MMR and autism?

Cia
Dr. Ianelli,
Wonderful! I'm glad that the measles at this time is being caused by the natural and not vaccine-strain virus.

The problem with this is parents are taking their children to get shot up with the A genotype measles virus and I've read where people are being re-vaccinated. Not really sure what that means, maybe already have had what is considered adequate MMR according to the schedule. I for one don't consider people people being duped into injecting their children and themselves with toxins that are not beneficial to their health. In my book, this is called fraud.

Have some information re vaccination status of Disney measles cases: only 4 of the 52 cases were known to have received 2 MMR doses: the majority were unvaccinated
"For cases with age reported, the age of case-patients range from 10 months to 57 years (median = 16.5 years). To date, 8 (15%) case-patients were hospitalized. Of the 52 outbreak-associated cases, 28 (55%) were unvaccinated, 17 (31%) had unknown vaccination status, and 6 (12%) were vaccinated. Of the 6 cases vaccinated, 2 had received 1 dose and 4 had received 2 or more doses. Among the 28 unvaccinated cases, 5 were under age for vaccination. Measles genotype information was available from 9 measles cases; all were genotype B3 and all sequences linked to this outbreak are identical. The sequences are also identical to the genotype B3 virus that caused a large outbreak in the Philippines in 2014. During the last 6 months, identical genotype B3 viruses were also detected in at least 14 countries and at least 6 U.S. states, not including those linked to the current outbreak.
Similar % of cases to the European data I gave earlier: it's the unvaccinated responsible for spreading this disease which kills 1 in every couple of thousand or so of people infected

Dr. Ianelli,
Wonderful! I'm glad that the measles at this time is being caused by the natural and not vaccine-strain virus, it makes its effects on the immune system cleaner and less worrisome. It would have been good for political points if it had been vaccine-strain, but it's best for the people's health if it's natural.

Let's not forget the Philippines has a child immunisation schedule, similar to the UK and US schedules, including two doses of MMR vaccine.
http://pinoykidsmd.com/tag/childhood-immunization-schedule-in-philippines/
Dr Iannelli - Can you explain why the MMR measles vaccine component is apparently failing to protect from measles genotype B3 in a significant proportion of the Disney and Orange County cases?

Vincent,
Some good points. I definitely do not want to see people barred from traveling based on vaccination status. I'm sure that's what the fanatics are working feverishly on.

I have a friend who had titers tested before she got pregnant and she was advised to get the MMR because her titers were low, even though she had been previously vaccinated (probably many years before). She got the shot and then got pregnant and thank goodness all has gone well. Her boy is a healthy grown man now. But it's interesting that they never tested her again to see if the MMR was effective before she got pregnant. I guess they don't follow up because if she was one of those who do not respond there is nothing they can do about it anyway?

Steve
Time for the "troll" distraction. BTW, are you up on all your adult boosters. Seeing that you can't believe what you're reading I'm sure you wouldn't want to let the herd down: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/downloads/adult/adult-schedule.pdf. It's even in color. Don't forget to remind your local health authorities that you need to "catch up" on all the shots you've missed since adolescents.

@Christina Waldman look at slide 7 here: https://www.scribd.com/mobile/doc/120430481#fullscreen .
This graph shows a febrile seizure rate associated with the Varicella vaccine singly.
The MMR alone provokes a seizure every 3500 doses, adding a Varicella shot to the visit increases the rate to 1/2500, using the MMRV Pro Quad 4 in 1 results in a 1/1250 seizure rate.
The increasing febrile seizure rates of the MMR, MMR & V, and MMRV demonstrate that one of the vaccine industries' major assertions- that combination vaccines are no more reactive than single vaccines, and that multiple vaccines in a single visit do not increase reactivity, is simply false. Of course one of the challenges with tracking this type of information is that since the vast majority of the infant to 18 month old pediatric population is always 30 to 60 days since their vaccine administration, who knows what the actual baseline seizure rate without vaccinations and only natural infections would be. This vaccine reaction is a real driver of vaccine questioning- today for many children the most serious course of illness they experience is not from a natural infection but from vaccine reactions. For parents whose children have gone through this experience, there is nothing far fetched about the idea of even more serious reactions being a possibility.

I loved the article. I laughed out loud at paragraphs 11 and 13. Would like to add Dr. Tetyana Obukhanych Talk at Aligned Chiropractic in Kelowna B.C. March 2013 youtube video to the conversation. A Stanford-trained immunologist, she realized when she immigrated that she had been vaccinated twice for measles, yet had had measles when she was eleven. That started her questioning what she was being taught (i.e., thinking for herself). I think her video is good at explaining why vaccination does not always provide any immunity and giving parents more information in weighing the pros and cons.

Also, from what I have read, adding chicken pox vaccine to the MMR doubles the risk of febrile seizure, or adds one febrile seizure per 1000. Many may not know that. The risk is lessened even when both MMR and chickenpox vaccine are given on the same day but at different injection sites. Why would this be when the varicella vaccine alone is usually not harmful? There seem to be a lot of things we do not know yet about how live viruses interact, as Dr. Wakefield suggested.

I wonder, why Americans are the most aggressively vaccinated and vaccine damaged population in the world. I came to conclusion that this is a result of general illiteracy of Americans (quality of US school education is below III world countries), their lack of scientific knowledge, lack of ability to think independently and pathological trust in media and govt propaganda. This probably is a direct result of brain damage by toxic vaccines and food. Only a small % of Americans are still neurologically healthy and they are fighting medical terror. But the nation is doomed, IMO.

""A" strain vaccine-B3 strain circulating virus. No wonder there have been outbreaks of measles in highly vaccinated populations. It does work. Just not for the populace. "

"That's not how it works, but congrats on trying to gin up a new conspiracy theory."

What an intelligent, sincere and mature comment...

Have to say, after reading the above comment by a 'professional,' it is extremely difficult to control my rage. I can still remember what happened to our beautiful baby boy when he was reacting to his whole cell pertussis vaccination. I can still remember my absolute horror, with my heart in my nostrils when I called our baby's pediatrician's office, exclaiming through tears what we were witnessing with our baby, as my husband gently tried to soothe our SCREAMING infant.

I was told to hold out the phone and when I did...waited...and got back on the phone, our pediatrician admitted our son was having a vaccine reaction.

I. WILL. NEVER. FORGET. THAT. MOMENT.

Dr Iannelli - You can't blame folks for being confused, regarding the high number of circulating measles strains. It was you after all, who pointed out the prevalence of the B3 measles genotype in the Disney cases. For the record, the measles vaccine uses A genotype strains, and yes the vaccine 'works', since measles cases have become rare since the vaccine's introduction during the 1960s.

The concerns expressed here are not about whether or not the measles vaccine 'works', but the overall efficacy of the vaccine. The Disney cases have revealed an alarming proportion of vaccinated persons amongst those infected measles cases. This is surely a matter for public concern, since parents were initially promised lifelong immunity from measles after only ONE vaccine dose. The boosters were introduced to 'mop up' the 5% or so admitted cases where the initial vaccinations failed to 'take'.

The Disney cases are just one example of measles outbreaks occurring in highly vaccinated populations. There have been outbreaks in highly vaccinated populations all over the world. It's time to stop blaming Dr Wakefield, for measles outbreaks happening more than 15 years after the publication of the Wakefield et al Lancet paper, which only caused a temporary dip in vaccinations, which soon recovered to previous vaccination levels of >90%.

Yes there IS a conspiracy - an official conspiracy of misinformation and silence about the REAL causes of these measles outbreaks. The WHO monitores measles outbreaks worldwide and the spread of individual measles genotypes. So why were we NOT told in the UK about those 10 persons from the Philippines who arrived on our shores infected with B3 measles, and presumably caused at least some of the much hyped measles outbreaks. What did this have to do with Dr Wakefield? - a doctor who always strongly advocated measles vaccinations, albeit with single measles vaccines.

If the MMR measles vaccine component is failing, like the mumps component, to protect against these diseases long term, then a complete re-think about measles immunisation is necessary and long overdue. It won't 'do' to tell people to get an MMR jab every time they visit a theme park. People are not stupid, and these recent measles outbreaks, in Disney, Wales, Japan and elsewhere, are revealing what my generation has always known. The vast majority of healthy children soon recover from measles, with lifelong immunity.

Dr Iannelli Vincent pointed out that the measles viral strain is genotype B3 virus. Researching the link that Jenny Allen provided to the WHO, genotype B3 measles cases appears to be the circulating strain in travellers returning from the Philippines since late 2013, including Australia, Canada, Italy, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.” BTW, the title page on the WHO webpage is:
Ongoing increase in measles cases following importations, Japan, March 2014: times of challenge and opportunity.

Yes the opportunity to terrorize more people into getting this jab and the pharmaceutical companies, which I'm sure members of WHO have substantial stock in, more profits.

I went to the CDC's webpage on Measles and these are the 19 genotypes detected since 1990:
A*, B2, B3, C1, C2, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D9, D10, D11, G2, G3, H1, H2

B3 is in this series so I imagine that since they have been able to type the genotypes all of them may be in circulation, theoretically of course.

Here are the Vaccine Strains:
*Vaccine strains Moraten, Edmonston, Zagreb are all genotype A.
There were 2 putative wild-type cases of measles identified as genotype A in 2008.
-During 2011, 8 genotypes were identified by global surveillance:
B2, B3, D4, D8, D9, D11, G3, H1

"A" strains are in the MMR that they have been pushing since who know when but at least since 1990 it's been know by the WHO & CDC that other strains were more than likely circulating. It's been know since 2013 that the strain was B3. If B3 is the strain circulating why is the WHO & CDC pushing a genotype A strain vaccine onto people?

I look at like this: If you want to create a global pandemic than what you do is give people the wrong vaccine knowing it would not stop the circulation of the illness and most likely will mutate into another form which will enhance the urgency of:
1.convincing more people to take the jab which will increase profits and add to the continuing decline of the public health overall but increase the financial bottom line of the profiteers.
2.convince the populace that more government control over the health care choices of it's citizens should be left in the hands of government officials who would make all vaccines mandatory.
3.convince the uninformed that "unvaccinated" people are a threat to the public health which would continue to polarize the Vaccinated against the UnVaccinated. This is a divide and conquer tactic because the media is in the back pocket of the government and big pharma so opposing information is suppressed. The Vaccinated would become the champions for the government, CDC, and the pharmaceutical industry- as they have become over the last 5 years. Boon for the poison makers-these people are doing it for free.
4.it will give big pharma a firmer foundation to ask for more government money to research a "definitive or universal measles vaccine" under the guise of maintaing the public as well as the global health.
5.it will open the doors for big pharma to acquire more state & US congresspeople and senators onto their payrolls. OOPS- I mean give more campaign donations and possibly the opportunity to become a pharma lobbyist once they leave their government job. (think of Eric Cantor on Wall Street now. He has been well rewarded for his services. Another that comes to mind-Julie Gerberding) What government official wouldn't want to be seen as a hero to their constitutes as one of the people that supported the eradication of a terrible horrifying killing childhood illness such as measles.

What we are witnessing is Henry Kissingers plan in action.

Dr. Gregory Poland stated in his two papers in 1994 & 2102 that the present and apparently past vaccines for measles doesn't work. (It never worked and there is no scientific data to confirm that it did). Poland is Professor of Medicine and founder and leader of Mayo Clinic’s Vaccine Research Group
1994: Arch Intern Med. 1994 Aug 22;154(16):1815-20.
Failure to reach the goal of measles elimination. Apparent paradox of measles infections in immunized persons. Conclusion: The apparent paradox is that as measles immunization rates rise to high levels in a population, measles becomes a disease of immunized persons. Because of the failure rate of the vaccine and the unique transmissibility of the measles virus, the currently available measles vaccine, used in a single-dose strategy, is unlikely to completely eliminate measles. The long-term success of a two-dose strategy to eliminate measles remains to be determined.
2012:Poland- "The measles vaccine has failed", he explained two years ago in a prescient paper, “The re-emergence of measles in developed countries.” In that paper, he warned that due to factors that most haven’t noticed, measles has come back to be a serious public health threat. Poland sees the need for a major rethink, after concluding that the current measles vaccine is unlikely to ever live up to the job expected of it: “outbreaks are occurring even in highly developed countries where vaccine access, public health infrastructure, and health literacy are not significant issues. This is unexpected and a worrisome harbinger — measles outbreaks are occurring where they are least expected,” he wrote in his 2012 paper, listing the “surprising numbers of cases occurring in persons who previously received one or even two documented doses of measles-containing vaccine.” During the 1989-1991 U.S. outbreaks, 20% to 40% of those affected had received one to two doses. In a 2011 outbreak in Canada, “over 50% of the 98 individuals had received two doses of measles vaccine.”
Paper: The Re-Emergence of Measles in Developed Countries: Time to Develop the Next-Generation Measles Vaccines? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih (dot) gov/pmc/articles/PMC3905323/

"he warned that due to factors that most haven’t noticed, measles has come back to be a serious public health threat"
-First, I don't believe that measles is a serious health threat. I think if you're a researcher and you're firmly in the pro-vaccine camp and you want to stay on their good side, you continue the "con" in your paper by stating that childhood illness are a health threat. Dr. William Thompson stated that he fully support vaccines BUT this is the fraud that the CDC committed stating that the vaccines cause damages. It's the basic CYA.

When Poland wrote: "he warned that due to factors that most haven’t noticed", he never stated what those factors are. Why? Might it be he knew prior to 1994 that the circulating strain of measles was not what was in the vaccines being given around the world? If's he's the best of the best as I have read I'm sure he knew. It's pointless to mull over why he remains silent but guilt has a way of seeping out and I think Poland has been saying it without saying it.

"A" strain vaccine-B3 strain circulating virus. No wonder there have been outbreaks of measles in highly vaccinated populations. It does work. Just not for the populace.

Don't forget:
Merck is sued by former virologist employees for deliberately falsifying mumps vaccine efficacy studies.
http://healthimpactnews.com/2012/merck-is-sued-by-former-virologist-employees-for-deliberately-falsifying-mumps-vaccine-efficacy-studies/

Judge: Lawsuit Against Merck’s MMR Vaccine Fraud to Continue
http://healthimpactnews.com/2014/judge-lawsuit-against-mercks-mmr-vaccine-fraud-to-continue/
Merck is the only manufacturer licensed by the FDA to sell the mumps vaccine in United States, and if it could not show that the vaccine was 95 percent effective, it risked losing its lucrative monopoly, according to the complaint. (court document at webpage)

That’s why Merck found it critically important to keep claiming such a high efficacy rate, the complaint states.

Under Protocol 007, Merck did not test the vaccine’s ability to protect children against a “wild-type” mumps virus, which is “the type of real-life virus against which vaccines are generally tested,” the complaint states.

Instead, Chatom says, Merck tested children’s blood using its own attenuated strain of the virus.

“This was the same mumps strain with which the children were vaccinated,” the complaint states.

That “subverted” the purpose of the testing regime, “which was to measure the vaccine’s ability to provide protection against a disease-causing mumps virus that a child would actually face in real life. The end result of this deviation … was that Merck’s test overstated the vaccine’s effectiveness,” Chatom claims.

Merck also added animal antibodies to blood samples to achieve more favorable test results, though it knew that the human immune system would never produce such antibodies, and that the antibodies created a laboratory testing scenario that “did not in any way correspond to, correlate with, or represent real life … virus neutralization in vaccinated people,” according to the complaint.

You have a 3 part injection that suppose to work in "harmony" with each other. Measles strain is not working says one scientist. Mumps strain not working says other scientist. 2 part out of 3 don't work. This is like putting a 1930 carburetor into a 2015 car.

Cia says :- "Gareth may have had atypical measles, possibly because he HAD been vaxed, which often presents with no rash and is a lot more serious than normal measles."

Yes possibly Cia, but to be blunt I simply don't believe a single word put out by the Welsh Health Authorities about those Jan-May 2013 Welsh measles cases, including those statements about Mr Colfor-Williams' medical case. They were quite DESPERATE for a measles death, having spent months spreading doom and gloom about measles, including certain death predictions, and ridiculously overhyped false measles statistics.

Some healthy looking Welsh children were interviewed on TV saying how terrible their measles experiences were, but statistically less than a fifth of those notified measles cases were actually lab confirmed, and I'm suspicious about those too. If these children DID have measles they will be immune for life, and the girls will be able to protect their future babies during their first year of life with placental/ breast milk conferred measles immunity. I found it significant, but utterly reckless on the part of the Welsh Government, to recommend MMR vaccinations for ALL babies over 6 months old (contraindicated on vaccine inserts), the babies were STILL to get another MMR vaccination at the normal 12-18 months period. Those so called 'measles victims' were advised to get MMR vaccinations too.

Gareth had been in hospital for a week, being treated for severe asthma, before being discharged. A week or so later he was so seriously ill, his worried Mum, took him to the local NHS primary care doctors (GPs), begging for him to be readmitted to hospital. His Mum says then there was no rash, and the doctors just sent him home and advised Paracetamol to ease his symptoms. He died shortly afterwards, from respiratory failure caused by overwhelming pneumonia. The GPs apparently failed to notice this, or how ill this young man was at the time. I think most people would regard this as medical negligence. If Gareth had been admitted to an intensive care unit at his local hospital, he might have survived.

Later Gareth was stated to have had measles, by the Welsh Authorities, who have manipulated this death as a measles death in official statistics. (The Coroner recorded, the measles MIGHT have caused the pneumonia, but the severe asthma and Gareth's weakened immune compromised state were just as likely causes). The Coroner did not ask for a lab measles confirmation at the Inquest, but took the Health Authorities word as gospel. Maybe he shouldn't have.

If -and for me still an IF- Gareth had measles at the time of his death, then the time scale strongly indicates he was infected during his week in hospital being treated for asthma. Again we were told in the press and media, other 'measles' cases had been 'hospitalised'. I would like to know what steps were taken to protect other patients from cross infection in the hospital, particularly extremely vulnerable patients like Gareth.

Of course, we will never get answers to any of these questions, but I sincerely hope and pray Gareth's family members have been properly compensated by the NHS for the deficiencies in his medical care. I also felt Gareth and his family members were 'smeared' by a very nasty Press and Media at the time. Remember, Gareth's Mum stated she had him vaccinated against measles when he was a child. I would believe her word over those Welsh spokespersons any day!

Jenny,
Gareth may have had atypical measles, possibly because he HAD been vaxed, which often presents with no rash and is a lot more serious than normal measles.

Eindeker- Pre measles vaccine 'historical' measles notifications and deaths are at best mainly estimates, and most of these cases will not have been lab confirmed, including the 'deaths' which will not have been from measles, but complications assumed to have arisen from it. I lived through the 40s and 50s and remember virtually EVERY child contracting measles then. Parents were far more concerned about diptheria, polio and TB, and were relieved to have us vaccinated. Scarlet fever, was also rife, but newly introduced antibiotics, penicillin and streptomycin, dealt with that. I don't remember any measles disabilities or deaths amongst the hundreds of children in my schools.

There's no question measles vaccinations, introduced into the UK in 1968, have kept down the numbers of measles infections. The link you provided is for NOTIFIED measles cases in England and Wales. These numbers are far higher than lab confirmed cases.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/measles-deaths-by-age-group-from-1980-to-2013-ons-data/measles-notifications-and-deaths-in-england-and-wales-1940-to-2013

The two UK measles deaths post MMR vaccine (1988) were children who could not be vaccinated due to immune deficiencies caused by very serious co morbidities. Measles does not kill healthy children, although this disease requires careful nursing. Dr Wakefield was very unfairly accused of 'murdering' these two children, by putting parents off the MMR vaccine, (remember that CNN Anderson Cooper interview?) One child was 13 years old when he died in 2006. His first MMR vaccination would have been due around 1994-5, at 12-15 months old, a booster around 3 years later, pre-dating the 1998 Wakefield et al paper. These children were unlikely to have caught measles from other children, since single measles vaccine was already part of the UK child immunisation schedule prior to MMR vaccine intro 1988. The extract below makes it clear the reason for non vaccinations in both cases was immune deficiencies. Dr Wakefield has ALWAYS advocated vaccinating against measles, but suggested a return to single vaccines pending more MMR vaccine safety studies:-

Extract "Prior to 2006, the last death from acute measles was in 1992. In 2006, there was 1 measles death in a 13-year-old male who had an underlying lung condition and was taking immunosuppressive drugs. Another death in 2008 was also due to acute measles in an unvaccinated child with a congenital immunodeficiency, whose condition did not require treatment with immunoglobulin."

@ Vincent Iannelli, MD

How rational is it to inject obvious toxic chemicals and foreign cells into fragile infants????

You, sir, need to rethink. Any chance?

Interesting, the one fact you miss is the most important. Before the vaccine, measles numbered up to 800,000 documented cases. 4 years after the vaccine became available, it dropped to less then 10,000, and in the year 2000, down to 650.

http://www.historyofvaccines.org/content/graph-us-measles-cases

Your telling me that we had a person with measles, in disneyland, with a extreemly contagious disease, and only 60 people were affected? If no one was vaccinated in that park nearly half the people would have that disease. Measles does not just follow the person, it lingers around for hours, with over half the people that are exposed are infected without if they are not immunized.

And what do you think makes big Pharma more money, a cheep vaccination, or thousands of hospitalizations with high medication consumption? Why do you think insurance companies pay for vaccinations? You think an insurance company would do it out of the goodness of their heart? No, they do it because an immunized child is healthier, and costs them less money per year than a non-immunized one.

Welcome back Dr Iannelli - Yes us guys (and gals) are still 'at it', asking questions, demanding answers and transparency, and making nuisances of ourselves, to the corporate pharma industries, and their paid up medicos and politicians.

We try not to spread 'misinformation' and Laura Hayes merely asked a question in her above article. I am sure she won't mind my repeating it:-
From above "Has there been any laboratory confirmation of even one case of the supposed measles related to Disneyland? If yes, was the confirmed case tested to determine whether it was wild-type measles or vaccine-strain measles? If not, why not? These are important questions to ask. Is it measles or not? If yes, what kind, because if it's vaccine-strain measles, then that means it is the vaccinated who are contagious and spreading measles resulting in what the media likes to label "outbreaks" to create panic."

So thank you Dr Iannelli for your information about measles genotype B3, categorised as a wild measles strain. I'm not sure that 9 measles cases out of what is now claimed to be more than 50 connected to Disney World, is conclusive evidence, but I am personally convinced that a wild strain of measles is responsible for many of these cases, including the 'source' of the Disney outbreaks. The following two papers shed more light on this:-

1.Oxford Journals
Global Distribution of Measles Genotypes and Measles Molecular Epidemiology
http://jid.oxfordjournals.org/content/204/suppl_1/S514.full
(extract circa 2009))
“Another lesson learned is that, if large measles outbreaks are occurring anywhere in the world, the viruses are soon detected almost everywhere. Measles transmission can occur anywhere, and molecular techniques are often the only method for identifying the source of an outbreak or isolated case when standard case reporting fails to identify a source. Exposures can occur in airports or other areas frequented by international travelers, such as amusement parks, conferences, and sporting events. In 2005, sequence information was used to link cases that occurred in the Netherlands to an exposure in an airport in the United States [25], whereas in 2007, sequence data were used to link cases that occurred in Texas and Michigan to an imported case at an international youth sporting event in Pennsylvania [26, 27].”

2.The World Health Organisation
Ongoing increase in measles cases following importations, Japan, March 2014: times of challenge and opportunity
http://ojs.wpro.who.int/ojs/index.php/wpsar/article/view/255/386
Extract
“Among the 41 cases with recent travel history to the Philippines, 39 were B3, one D9 and another unknown. Based on the available epidemiologic and genetic information, the recent increase since late November 2013 appears to be linked to the Philippines.4,6,7 Other countries have also reported genotype B3 measles cases in travellers returning from the Philippines since late 2013, including Australia, Canada, Italy, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.”

Interesting isn't it? Let's just repeat that last WHO bit:-
"Other countries have also reported genotype B3 measles cases in travellers returning from the Philippines since late 2013, including Australia, Canada, Italy, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.”

So it seems the WHO was previously very well aware that travellers, infected with measles genotype B3, were permitted to travel to other countries and presumably spread measles infections, without any kind of official sanctions or controls. Some infected persons who visited Disney World were vaccinated against measles, but still contracted the disease. We are all entitled to ask WHY!

Excellent article, Laura (as always). Is there a way to share this on to Facebook directly from this page or do I just have to copy and paste the link? Thank you for always keeping us informed and educated.

Blaine,
OK, she can leave out yours, but speak for my vaccine-damaged, fourteen-year old, autistic daughter. She likes to sit several rows behind me when we go to Mass, and the day before yesterday we went and even at the quietest moments of prayer, I could hear her chirping Cat food! Harley! Trash can! Harleyhungergames! several rows behind me. On Christmas Eve we went and Father Richard greeted us at the door, saying Merry Christmas, I'm glad you could come! And she looked away from him and said very clearly and loudly Cat food! We've worked on what it is appropriate to say and why, and that people are taken aback when she says such off-the-wall things. If she had not gotten the vaccines to which she reacted, she would have been healthy and normal and have a life ahead of her. But as it is, she doesn't.

The word "sheeple" does not do justice.

The excellent comments below were sent to me in response to my article today. I have asked the author for permission to post them here on AoA, and permission has been granted. This person is an advocate who has worked with hundreds of families who have children with disabilities to help them make their own choices for treatment with ABA and other necessary medical treatments. Here are the person's comments:

For me the most important aspect is “Why should I disable or kill my child to possibly prevent yours from getting a disease that may disable or kill him?” “Why mine and not yours?”
The question for parents to answer must be with the risks in either direction of outcome taken as a certainty to be sure that the consequences are tolerable. It is gambling, so the player must be able to tolerate the loss of the entire bounty used for a wager even if odds seem good.

A 1 in 2500 chance just for a seizure from MMR, or seizure that develops into a chronic disorder, is one child in a packed high school gymnasium for a school rally. Which one will it be and how will we choose who? Does it matter that the number may change to 1 in 2000 or 1 in 500? What is the correct number of intended consequences of the decision to vaccinate every student? Vaccine injury is an intended, unavoidable consequence of a mass vaccination program.

No one can routinely identify what measles is, yet the mainstream insist on mass vaccination for it as a belief system that is impervious to intellectual analysis of risk versus reward using data. Everyone should know exactly what each disease is prior to making a decision about how to prevent it with a potentially toxic or deadly medication.

If new parents don’t know that children under two have immature immune systems that may not be resilient enough to withstand common infections, then please begin the education campaign to teach about disease prevention and personal responsibility. Going with a baby to Disneyland and the airports to travel to Disneyland, which are international petri dishes, is a protected civil right, but so is the responsibility to make the decision about the risks in doing so.

And the big message for all healthcare providers and government agencies is GIVE US THE UNADULTERATED TRUTH so we can make our own decisions whatever they may be. Don’t lie to us and patronize us like small children who should not hear the details of how the sausage is made.

Any doctor who tells an individual patient that all vaccines are “safe and effective” is lazily parroting the CDC, being coerced by health employer quotas and peer pressure, or is a believer of a philosophical construct of any means to reach an end, as the government’s own data on public databases clearly states that vaccines are neither safe nor effective when the commonly understood definitions are applied.

The end state by all roads is that parents must gamble, use healthy lifestyle practices, and then hope that it all works out. That is the best that any of us can do.

These questions and serious concerns remain valid in the most desired hypothetical event that there never was a disorder called autism.

Are you kidding? All the VACCINATED people are spreading not only measles but any other live virus illness including the flu right now. That's the problem. Also, people, specifically children are contracting the illness from the vaccination they have been given. It's interesting what family members in the medical community that work in clinic will tell you. My nieces tell me when pediatricians see kids with the exact same symptoms, labs and history, they would diagnose the un-vaccinated kids with the apparent disease, e.g. "measles," but the vaccinated would be diagnosed as "viral syndrome, NOS." This was on the basis that they assumed the vaccinated kids could NOT possibly have the disease! I'm told this is standard practice. So the percentage of vaccinated children who get the diseases may in fact be much higher than what we are told.
Here are examples of measles outbreaks in fully vaccinated populations:
-NY Measles outbreak: 26 cases total. 14 adults and 12 children. Patient Zero is a 22 year old VACCINATED young lady who contracted measles in 2011. Vaccination status of the adults all vaccinated with at least i shot. The children, 4 were too young to get the MMR, 6 were vaccinated and 2 unvaccinated. Statically that means at least 90% were vaccinated.
-PLoS study: "Difficulties in eliminating measles and controlling rubella and mumps: a cross-sectional study of a first measles and rubella vaccination and a second measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination," has brought to light the glaring ineffectiveness of two measles vaccines (measles–rubella (MR) or measles–mumps–rubella (MMR) ) in fulfilling their widely claimed promise of preventing outbreaks in highly vaccine compliant populations.

China has one of the most vaccination compliant populations in the world. In fact, measles vaccine is mandatory. So why have they had over 700 measles outbreaks from 2009 and 2012 alone? "The reported coverage of the measles-rubella (MR) or measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine is greater than 99.0% in Zhejiang province. However, the incidence of measles, mumps, and rubella remains high."

Abstract
Measles vaccine is widely used, most often in association with mumps and rubella vaccines. We report here the case of a child presenting with fever 8 days after vaccination with a measles-mumps-rubella vaccine. Measles virus was isolated in a throat swab taken 4 days after fever onset. This virus was then further genetically characterised as a vaccine-type virus. Fever occurring subsequent to measles vaccination is related to the replication of the live attenuated vaccine virus. In the case presented here, the vaccine virus was isolated in the throat, showing that subcutaneous injection of an attenuated measles strain can result in respiratory excretion of this virus. (This means this child is contagious)

Prolonged measles virus shedding in human immunodeficiency virus-infected children, detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction.
Permar SR1, Moss WJ, Ryon JJ, Monze M, Cutts F, Quinn TC, Griffin DE.

Abstract
A reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction assay was used to detect measles virus RNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, urine, and nasopharyngeal specimens from Zambian children during hospitalization and approximately 1-2 months after discharge. Of 47 children, 29 (61.7%) had prolonged measles virus shedding, as defined by detection of measles virus RNA in > or =1 specimen obtained 30-61 days after rash onset. Ten (90.9%) of 11 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected children had prolonged measles virus shedding, compared with 19 (52.8%) of 36 HIV-uninfected children (P=.02). Prolonged measles virus shedding did not correlate with levels of measles virus-specific antibody. HIV-infected children with measles may have a prolonged infectious period that potentially enhances measles virus transmission and hinders measles control.
-Rash in a 15 month old girl: A 15 month old white girl became unwell on the day after she
received her MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) and
pneumococcal vaccinations. These had initially been booked
when she was 13 months old but were postponed twice owing
to minor illnesses. Conclusion: The rash showed the
characteristic morphology, distribution, and progression (fig 1)of a measles rash.

MMR II PACKAGE INSERT:
Excretion of small amounts of the live attenuated rubella virus from the nose or throat has occurred in the majority of susceptible individuals 7 to 28 days after vaccination.

Dr. Gregory Poland stated in the conclusion of a paper he co-wrote in 1994:
The apparent paradox is that as measles immunization rates rise to high levels in a population, measles becomes a disease of immunized persons. Because of the failure rate of the vaccine and the unique transmissibility of the measles virus, the currently available measles vaccine, used in a single-dose strategy, is unlikely to completely eliminate measles. The long-term success of a two-dose strategy to eliminate measles remains to be determined.

Failure to reach the goal of measles elimination. Apparent paradox of measles infections in immunized persons. http://archinte.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=619215
Poland GA1, Jacobson RM.

What does De. Poland say about the measles outbreaks that are occurring all over the world:
Poland confirms the vaccine is failing and his answer is “we need a new measles vaccine“.
Professor Poland’s paper from 2012: The Re-Emergence of Measles in Developed Countries: Time to Develop the Next-Generation Measles Vaccines? quote: To make matters worse, even when the vaccine takes, the protection quickly wanes, making it unrealistic to achieve the 95%-plus level of immunity in the general population thought necessary to protect public health.
*The Re-Emergence of Measles in Developed Countries: Time to Develop the Next-Generation Measles Vaccines?
Why is Dr. Professor Polands comments so vital? Poland is Professor of Medicine and founder and leader of Mayo Clinic’s Vaccine Research Group.

Vaccinated people are contagious.

VaccineInformation - the second link isn't working for me. Can you check it out, please? Thanks.

@Lynnzi-
Statements like that represent an ignorance of vaccination history. There was no "Golden Age" in the past when vaccination rates and acceptance were higher than they are today. There are more children getting more shots for more infections than ever, anywhere.
Please see the CDC document linked- measles vaccine coverage never broke 90% until the mid 90's. This was a convergence of primarily 2 programs- the NVICP- which largely indemnified manufacturers and doctors, and VFC- a payment scheme requires insurance coverage and government payment and provision of vaccines.
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/G/coverage.pdf
Unremarkable decades with 30% unvaccinated yet today we are being told that a drop from 94 to 93% is the tipping point for disaster?
An ever expanding schedule of recommended and "required" vaccines has resulted in conditions where we can have both record vaccination coverage, and an increasing exemption rate. In CA the highest exempted vaccine is for Chicken Pox- which in and of itself is responsible for half or more of all the exemptions in the country. In Oregon the most exempted vaccine is Hep A- a fecal / orally transmitted infection with virtually no complication rate. Want to lower the exemption rate? Get Chicken Pox off the schedule, like most of the rest of the world. https://www.scribd.com/mobile/doc/120430481#fullscreen
Ca Rates https://www.scribd.com/mobile/doc/107086647#fullscreen
Oregon exemption rate in response to new requirements https://www.scribd.com/mobile/doc/150190637#fullscreen
This propaganda exercise surrounding the measles outbreak is trying to paint parents who are simply being thoughtful and selective and trying to paint them as reckless refusers.

Lynzi,

While the original study that showed measles occurring in a 100% vaccinated population (http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00000359.htm)occurred at the time when there was only 1 vaccine recommended, we are now seeing it among twice (fully) vaccinated people.

According to vaccinologist Dr. Gregory Poland, "...eradication (complete elimination of the global spread and transmission) of measles is unlikely as modeling studies suggest that herd immunity of approximately 95% or greater is required to eliminate persisting measles endemicity [10]." Elsewhere he said, "...measles vaccine has a failure rate measured in a variety of studies at 2–10%, and modeling studies suggest that herd immunity to measles requires approximately 95% or better of the population to be immune [12]." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3905323/

According to Moss and Strebel, "A review of 69 published studies of measles vaccine effectiveness from 1969 to 2006 found an overall estimate of measles vaccine effectiveness of 90% [13]. Median measles vaccine effectiveness was estimated to be 77% when administered between 9 and 11 months of age, and 92% when administered at 12 months or older. These findings are consistent with immunogenicity studies." http://jid.oxfordjournals.org/content/204/suppl_1/S47.full This is an even lower estimate for measles vaccine effectiveness than provided by Poland.

Poland also noted "In an October 2011 outbreak in Canada, over 50% of the 98 individuals had received two doses of measles vaccine. The Table shows that this phenomenon continues to play a role in measles outbreaks. Thus, measles outbreaks also occur even among highly vaccinated populations because of primary and secondary vaccine failure, which results in gradually larger pools of susceptible persons and outbreaks once measles is introduced [8]. This leads to a paradoxical situation whereby measles in highly immunized societies occurs primarily among those previously immunized [8]."

And now for the first time a major outbreak, in fact, was traced to a fully vaccinated person. http://news.sciencemag.org/health/2014/04/measles-outbreak-traced-fully-vaccinated-patient-first-time

In other words, even in a 100% fully vaccinated population, a 95% herd immunity cannot be reliably reached.

For these and other reasons it is hard to justify blaming the unvaccinated for outbreaks.

@Laura Hayes,

I hope you don't mind that I cut and pasted your article and sent it to a KSRO Morning News Producer who, for some odd reason, wanted to interview me for their morning show. I forwarded his email to the folks at the National Vaccine Information Center, with no response from myself, to him. He stated he wanted me to call in for a 2 to 3 minute statement regarding the measles outbreak at Disneyland.

When I emailed him this morning, I told him that it should only take him 2 to 3 minutes to READ your article, the same amount of time he wanted to give to me to respond to this so-called outbreak.

I'm not 100% convinced that 59 or so cases of 'measles' in CA are really measles cases. Have they all been lab confirmed? I'm gathering this information has been somewhat hard to come by by those calling our state health department, asking questions.

GREAT article. Thanks so much for posting...

-Kim

The government conceals things from us and filters out information based on lobbyists dollars. But then just when I thought that this was a place where unfiltered information could be freely exchanged, I discover that it is only another place that lets only one biased filtered point of view in ("Comments are moderated, and will not appear until the author has approved them"). How sad. How hypocritical.

Laura,
I think sheepie is an acceptable term: parents must realize that by just obeying authority they are permitting their precious children to be irrevocably damaged by industry-serving lies. Using the term sheepie makes them pay attention: the image of sheep patiently standing in line waiting to be slaughtered first insults them, then makes them wake up and wonder: "Is that me? Is that what I'm doing? I thought I was being civic-minded and trusting modern science to do its job in figuring out how to make life better for everyone. But am I really just turning off my mind from laziness and complacency?" They need to be woken up, and I think this now-familiar term is one way to do it. And anti-vaxxer? Let's tell it like it is. You can be a decent person and accept the whole schedule (from laziness and complacency, however), or you can be selective in the vaccines you think are safe and necessary, if you're open to new information that might make you modify your original opinion. But being an anti-vaxxer is a positive term, regardless of how the shills mean it. You're against provoking the immune system to extreme inflammation and sensitization to vaccine ingredients by injecting foreign proteins and toxins into it. Refusing them prevents all vaccine damage. This is a good thing.

Signed,

Anti-vaxxer and waker of sheepies

It is a great piece! I would go beyond the premise that it is probably an instance of the vaccinated spreading vaccine-strain measles virus to all and sundry. That might be the case, but I think it's more probable that it's going to turn out to be natural measles infecting all these people. Maybe it's mutated a little so that the vaccine no longer protects against it. While everything you said about live virus vaccines being possibly contagious is true, I think it is more important not to even worry about the vaccine's role, and instead ask people to look at the outcomes and decide whether it is even worth getting a dangerous vaccine to attempt to protect against such a mild disease. Apparently the outbreak at Disneyland started in December, so that's been plenty of time to do the body count of the myriad people killed or permanently damaged by getting natural measles. What? None? Are you sure? Are the media just not doing their job, and they're somehow letting the dozens of deaths or cases of encephalitis go unreported? I don't think so. I think the REALLY important thing here is to tell people to watch. One person after another sick with a high fever for several days and then? Well, gosh darn it, they get well and go back to work or school, how are we going to spin that to keep people in the vaccine lines?

I love the article. I have been visiting different media sites for days and have read comments with doctors bullying anybody that has an alternate view, I have yet to see a rational discussion. Why are there 59 infected and yet nobody knows the full vaccination of all of those 59 since they were in the original outbreak? How can any scientist come to a rational conclusion without all of the data.

Hi Danchi,
My understanding is that measles was declared eradicated in the US, not worldwide, and yes, we still had cases, but I think the rationale was that those cases were brought in from outside, so they didn't count, or something like that.

Thank you very much Laura- well done. I'd guess that, with reference to #1 above, the CA/etc public health officials know which strain is responsible for the current outbreak. As several researchers have pointed out, the problem in using attenuated live virus in these vaccines and their inadequate clearance from the body is likely to become worse and perhaps result in Disneyland-like outbreaks.

Also, vaccine-impaired maternally conferred immunity is likely a key issue (has been for awhile) here. Thanks for bringing this out- I've not seen this recently. Most of the recent stridency seems to revolve around the irresponsibility of parents exercising informed choice rather than the irresponsibility of the willfully ignorant.

Also, just to point out that justication for having vaccines has alway been on the tenuous claim that serious adverse reactions are less than one in one hundred thousand. But what is the risk of the schedule if several dozens of vaccines are given over a single childhood? (And that is only treating them as individual risks - leaving aside cumulative risk and bad synergies).

BRILLIANT article, Laura!

I have one request.

Please edit out the word "sheeple."

I find it really offensive when the vaccine supporters use the word "antivax," and I really think the word "sheeple" is even more offensive. It's unnecessarily demeaning and insulting, and therefore detracts from what is otherwise an extremely professional article.

Thanks.
