I’ve been wanting to address this one for a while now, but I’ve been amassing so much knowledge it’s kind of hard to know how to get it all organized and hopefully short enough that I don’t lose the few people who actually read these rants. 😉

So what is measles? This is a short description I found on the CDC website: “Measles starts with fever, runny nose, cough, red eyes, and sore throat. It’s followed by a rash that spreads over the body. Measles is highly contagious and spreads through coughing and sneezing. Make sure you and your child are protected with measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine.” (I couldn’t find a description that didn’t tell you to go get vaccinated, so I decided to just include that).

Complications include:

• diarrhoea and vomiting, which can lead to dehydration
• middle ear infection (otitis media), which can cause earache
• eye infection (conjunctivitis)
• inflammation of the voice box (laryngitis)
• infections of the airways and lungs (such as pneumonia, bronchitis and croup)
• fits caused by a fever (febrile seizures)
• liver infection (hepatitis)
• infection of the brain (encephalitis)

Those at risk for complications are as follows:

• babies younger than 1 year old
• children with a poor diet
• children with a weakened immune system (such as those with leukaemia)
• teenagers and adults
• Children who are older than 1 year and otherwise healthy have the lowest risk of developing complications.

The CDC estimates that in the US, there were up to 4 MILLION cases of measles each year. [1] Which means that most measles cases were so mild, they never even got reported. Only 1/8th of cases were reported. When the media says “1 in 1,000” or “1 in 500” die, they don’t even go by reported cases, they smoothly go right past that, and talk about hospitalized cases, and take THAT number to say 1 in 500 might die. But if you look at a population as a whole, it’s much much smaller of a chance.

This is how people talked about it in TV shows at that time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eR6NEv6yCEg

Here is how the “father of immunology”, Dr Langmuir, described measles, “This self-limiting infection of short duration, moderate severity, and low fatality has maintained a remarkably stable, biological balance over the centuries.” Here is another quote from him in this paper, “To those who ask me, ‘Why do you wish to eradicate measles?’, I reply with the same answer that Hillary used when asked why he wished to climb Mt Everest. He said, ‘Because it is there’. To this may be added, ‘…and it can be done.” [2] (This was written in 1962, before the vaccine was developed).

If people were dying in the streets, and it was killing so many, and so very dangerous, why do you think people were asking about the necessity of a vaccine, and also, why did he basically answer, “because we can.” Wouldn’t a better reply have been, “Because it’s killing thousands of innocent children”?

In 1959, a group of doctors wrote a paper reporting on measles epidemics in their practices in England and Wales, and here are a few phrases they used: “normally mild, rarely needing any medical treatment, commonest disease in the world, few complications, no attempt to prevent spread, antibiotics not necessary, saline placebo is handy as treatment, best encountered between 3-7 years of age, infection over in a week, mothers say, “how much good the attack has done their children and how much better they are after it.” [3]

Okay, I think I’ve fully made the point that measles was a trivial childhood illness before the vaccine came along and that most of what is breathlessly recited by the media and people who have bought into the fear mongering is not based in fact. I’ll leave it at that.

Now, let’s talk about treatment, because this is woefully overlooked in our general media, and I actually doubt if most doctors know about the best way to treat it, because like most vaccine preventable illnesses, the disconnect seems to automatically happen that we no longer need to know anything about the disease, how to properly treat it and keep patients from getting those complications, because the disease is going to magically disappear, obviously. In the article above where the doctors described treatments, bedrest seemed to be the thing that worked best for them. Not too much light, reading if their eyes didn’t hurt, playing games to pass the time, calm setting, things like that. Now, we know that vitamin A stores are depleted rapidly in measles patients and that giving vitamin A brings the complication risk to virtually zero. Here are some studies if you want to read more:

Now, let’s talk about the MMR vaccine. Let’s start with the package insert.

Here are some of the side effects listed:
“Panniculitis; atypical measles; fever; syncope; headache; dizziness; malaise; irritability. Vasculitis. Pancreatitis; diarrhea; vomiting; parotitis; nausea. Diabetes mellitus. Thrombocytopenia purpura; regional lymphadenopathy; leukocytosis. Anaphylaxis and anaphylactoid reactions have been reported as well as related phenomena such as angioneurotic edema (including peripheral or facial edema) and bronchial spasm in individuals with or without an allergic history.

“Arthritis; arthralgia; myalgia. Arthralgia and/or arthritis (usually transient and rarely chronic), and polyneuritis are features of infection with wild-type rubella and vary in frequency and severity with age and sex, being greatest in adult females
and least in prepubertal children. This type of involvement as well as myalgia and paresthesia, have also been reported following administration of MERUVAX II.
Chronic arthritis has been associated with wild-type rubella infection and has been related to persistentvirus and/or viral antigen isolated from body tissues. Only rarely have vaccine recipients developed chronic joint symptoms. Following vaccination in children, reactions in joints are uncommon and generally of brief duration. In
women, incidence rates for arthritis and arthralgia are generally higher than those seen in children (children: 0-3%; women: 12-26%),{17,56,57} and the reactions tend to be more marked and of longer duration. Symptoms may persist for a matter of months or on rare occasions for years. In adolescent girls, the reactions appear to be intermediate in incidence between those seen in children and in adult women.
Even in women older than 35 years, these reactions are generally well tolerated and rarely interfere with normal activities.

Side note: the pamphlet given at doctors offices used to warn that 1 in 4 women would end up with arthritis from the MMR booster. That wording has since been removed.

“Nervous System
Encephalitis; encephalopathy; measles inclusion body encephalitis (MIBE); subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE); Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS); acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM); transverse myelitis; febrile convulsions; afebrile convulsions or seizures; ataxia; polyneuritis; polyneuropathy; ocular palsies; paresthesia.

“The risk of serious neurological disorders following live measles virus vaccine administration remains less than the risk of encephalitis and encephalopathy following infection with wild-type measles (1 per 1000 reported cases).{58,59} (we know where they got this number from now).
In severely immunocompromised individuals who have been inadvertently vaccinated with measles containing vaccine; measles inclusion body encephalitis, pneumonitis, and fatal outcome as a direct consequence of disseminated measles vaccine virus infection have been reported. In this population, disseminated mumps and rubella vaccine virus infection have also been reported. There have been reports of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) in children who did not have a history of infection with wild-type measles but did receive measles vaccine. Some of these cases may have resulted from unrecognized measles in the first year of life or possibly from the measles vaccination. Based on estimated nationwide measles vaccine distribution, the association of SSPE cases to measles vaccination is about one case per million vaccine doses distributed. This is far less than the association with infection with wild-type measles, 6-22 cases of SSPE per million cases of measles. The results of a retrospective case-controlled study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest that the overall effect of measles vaccine has been to protect against SSPE by preventing measles with its inherent higher risk of SSPE.{60}
Cases of aseptic meningitis have been reported to VAERS following measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination. Although a causal relationship between the Urabe strain of mumps vaccine and aseptic meningitis has been shown, there is no evidence to link Jeryl Lynn™ mumps vaccine to aseptic meningitis.

“Respiratory System
Pneumonia; pneumonitis, sore throat; cough; rhinitis.
Stevens-Johnson syndrome; erythema multiforme; urticaria; rash; measles-like rash; pruritis. Local reactions including burning/stinging at injection site; wheal and flare; redness (erythema); swelling; induration; tenderness; vesiculation at injection site; Henoch-Schönlein purpura; acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy. Nerve deafness; otitis media. Special Senses — Eye Retinitis; optic neuritis; papillitis; retrobulbar neuritis; conjunctivitis. Epididymitis; orchitis.
Death from various, and in some cases unknown, causes has been reported rarely following vaccination with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines; however, a causal relationship has not been established in healthy individuals. No deaths or permanent sequelae were reported in a published post-marketing surveillance study in Finland involving 1.5 million children and adults who were vaccinated with M-M-R II during 1982 to 1993.{61} Under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, health-care providers and manufacturers are required to record and report certain suspected adverse events occurring within specific time periods after vaccination. However, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has established a
Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) which will accept all reports of suspected events.{49} A VAERS report form as well as information regarding reporting requirements can be obtained by calling
VAERS 1-800-822-7967.”

Here’s an ingredient list:

“chick embryo cell culture, WI-38 human diploid lung fibroblasts, vitamins, amino acids, fetal bovine serum, sucrose, glutamate, neomycin, sorbitol, hydrolyzed gelatin, sodium phosphate, sodium chloride, MRC-5 cells, sucrose, hydrolyzed gelatin sorbitol, monosodium L-glutamate (MSG), sodium phosphate dibasic, sodium bicarbonate, potassium phosphate monobasic, potassium chloride; potassium phosphate dibasic, neomycin, bovine calf serum, urea, sodium chloride, sorbitol, sodium phosphate, recombinant human albumin, potassium phosphate

If you’re curious about WI-38 and MRC-5, WI-38 is an aborted female fetus at 3 months gestation, and MRC-5 is a 14 week gestation male.

Here is an open letter to legislators from Dr Theresa Deisher who is a stem cell scientist and has major concerns about the fetal cell debris in these vaccines.

One of the things she says is, “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 are 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. This is direct biological evidence that fetal DNA contaminants in vaccines are not in low innocuous amounts. They are a very strong proinflammatory trigger. Injecting our children with human fetal DNA contaminants bears the risk of causing two well-established pathologies:

1) Insertional mutagenesis: fetal human DNA incorporates into the child’s DNA causing mutations. Gene therapy using small fragment homologous recombination has demonstrated that as low as 1.9 ng/ml of DNA fragments results in insertion into the genome of stem cells in 100% of mice injected[xii]. The levels of human fetal DNA fragments in our children after vaccination with MMR, Varivax (chickenpox) or Hepatitis A containing vaccines reach levels beyond 1.9 ng/ml.
2) Autoimmune disease: fetal human DNA triggers a child’s immune system to attack his/her own body.”

Yes, it has been exonerated from causing autism. If you choose to believe that, that is. I’m not going to say much about that whole subject except this: all of these studies are epidemiological (look at a group of people retrospectively, see if there’s a correlation). We know that an epidemiology study can only show a correlation, and we’ve all heard, “correlation does not equal causation”. Actual science that could establish any type of causality would contain a control group to measure against that is completely unvaccinated. How they can hope to prove anything by comparing (essentially) 1 pack a day smokers with 2 pack a day smokers is beyond me. And of these studies, there are whistleblowers and lawsuits and rat smells all over the place. Scientists are suing Merck for being forced to falsify data (more on this later), there’s a whistleblower at the CDC who claims they essentially had a bonfire to destroy the evidence that the MMR was causing autism (more on that if you want to watch Vaxxed, it’s available on vimeo for 4 dollars), and the list goes on. But of that stinking pile of manipulation, coercion, and suspicion, they’ve extracted the statement, “Vaccines do not cause autism.”

And almost everyone believes them. *sigh*

Here’s what happens when a third party labs examine MMR vaccines:

There’s glyphosate (roundup) in it. At levels 25 times higher in the MMR compared to other vaccines they tested. [4]

If that’s not alarming enough, it gets worse:

“The amount of DNA: The presence of fetal DNA was confirmed in large quantities: 1.7 μg on the first lot and 3.7 μg on the second lot, about 325 times higher than the maximum limit of 10 nanograms and as many as 325,000 times higher than the minimum limit of 10 picograms, limits that EMA told us to refer only to cells that are known for carcinogenic activity.

“Non-detection of rubella virus: with the level of sequencing used for screening, it was not possible to detect rubella virus. Since there was doubt that this was an error in the procedure used, the level of sequencing was increased significantly to a very high depth (260 million sequences produced). ln this way the rubella virus was detected in 114 copies, equal to 0.00004% of the total of the sequences and through a manual reading of the sequences it was possible to eliminate any source of error of the software used and confirm definitively the (minimum) presence of rubella in the sample. However, this procedure has also made it possible to identify the adventitious viruses present in low copy numbers, and what has been seen is that the number of copies of the adventitious viruses exceeds that of rubella virus.

“Adventitious viruses: Human endogenous retrovirus K, Equine infectious anemia virus, Avian leukosis virus, HERV-H/env62

“Chemical Contaminants (signals) – 115-173 (29-43% known)

So there were two other very important issues to be resolved:

“1. Is the rubella in the vaccine in sufficient quantity to produce an immunogenic effect or can it be considered subthreshold (i.e. an adventitious contamination)?

“2. Are the adventitious viruses really present? If so, can they be dangerous? [5]

So. I just have to say. I would rather my child get one case of the measles, treat it with vitamin A, bedrest, and liquids, and have lifelong immunity, than to take on the unknown risks of multiple doses of the vaccine which in my mind include autoimmune conditions of all sorts, cancer, and neurological problems including autism.
