Another study from 2017, published in BMC Public Health, showed that measles antibody level among China's general population have been declining since 2012.9 These two studies contradict the widely-claimed promises that measles vaccines prevent outbreaks in highly vaccine- compliant populations and that the protection from measles vaccination lasts for more than twenty years.
Not only are measles vaccines not as effective as claimed, but they contain live viruses. Vaccinated individuals not only can contract the disease, they can also spread it to others through a process called shed- ding. Although public health officials maintain that live attenuated virus vaccines rarely cause complications in the vaccinated person and that vaccine strain viral shedding rarely causes disease in close contacts with the recently vaccinated, vaccine strain live virus infection can sometimes cause serious complications in vaccinated persons and vaccine strain live viruses can be shed and transmitted to others with serious or even fatal consequences.10
In 2015, a measles outbreak at California’s Disneyland garnered na- tionwide attention that led to the demonization of unvaccinated children. The outbreak helped fuel the fire in support of the horrendous law SB 277 that took away philosophical and religious exemptions for schoolchildren in California.
What was never disclosed to the public, but known to CDC officials, is evidence published in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology stating the following: “During the measles outbreak in California in 2015, a large number of suspected cases occurred in recent vaccinees. Of the 194 measles virus sequences obtained in the United States in 2015, 73 were identified as vaccine sequences.”
The co-author of this report, Rebecca J. McNall, is a CDC official in the Division of Viral Diseases. Her data prove the measles vaccine’s failure to provide immunity, thus giving an explanation as to how out- breaks occur in both vaccinated and unvaccinated children.11
The CDC acknowledges that despite relatively high vaccination rates, small measles outbreaks continue to occur. In 2011, the CDC reported that in two hundred twenty measles cases, “sixty-two percent were in persons not vaccinated.” That means that 38 percent of measles
cases in the United States in 2011 were in vac- cinated persons. The CDC Pink Book further acknowledges that, “Some studies indicate that secondary vaccine failure (waning immunity) may occur after successful vaccination.”12 In their article “A witch hunt against parents of unvaccinated children,” the Alliance for Human Research Protection (AHRP) brilliantly points out, “Evidence of MMR vaccine-induced infec- tion undermines the protective rationale for its indiscriminate mass use, much less mandating its use against parents’ objections.”
THE RISK
One of the most important things to know
is that measles vaccines are not free from risk, and therefore the vicious disparagement of people who choose not to vaccinate is unjust. As of March 31, 2018, there were more than eighty-nine thousand reports of measles vac- cine reactions reported to the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a voluntary reporting system. These included 445 related deaths, 6,196 hospitalizations, and 1,657 related disabilities. Over 60 percent of those adverse events occurred in children three years old and younger.13 Add to this the fact that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) states that less than 1 percent of all suspected serious adverse vaccine reactions are reported to VAERS, so we actually have a large number of serious reactions to the measles vaccine.14
The CDC recommends and States mandate that all children get two doses of MMR vaccine starting with the first dose at twelve to fifteen
VACCINE EXPERT: MEASLES VACCINE HAS FAILED
According to Dr. Gregory Poland, one of the world’s leading vaccinologists, the measles vaccine has failed. In a 2012 paper (Vaccine. 2012 Jan 5; 30(2): 103–104), he noted that measles has become a “serious public health threat. . . 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.” Poland cited large numbers of measles cases in fully vaccinated individuals. Poland describes a “too-high failure rate” and protection “that quickly wanes.” And Poland admits that the current vaccine “cannot be administered to those who are immunocompromised, who have allergies to vaccine components and who are pregnant. . . .”
Poland’s concerns are self-serving. He does not want to end vaccines but to encourage more investment in his re- search into genetically tailored vaccinations. Through this new medical discipline of “vaccinomics,” Poland predicts that “medical science will not only have the wherewithal to finally achieve the decades-long dream of eradicating measles and other diseases, but do so at a lower cost while addressing the concerns of the educated public.” This sounds like the same kind of hype that heralded the current generation of measles vaccinations. But it is good to hear from an insider that the current measles vaccine is a failure.
