Measles Misinformation

Mainstream media has recently been playing up measles outbreaks in the United States.

Almost 2,000 confirmed measles cases have been confirmed across the United States this year with the largest current outbreaks centered in upstate South Carolina and West Texas.

Of course, the popular media and Big Medicine narrative is that this is the fault of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. or President Trump.

What is not being reported is that Canada has had 5,329 measles cases this year despite having only 12% of the population of the United States.

In fact, the province of Ontario alone has had more cases than the entire United States.

Therefore, on a per capita basis, Canada has had 20 times the number of measles cases as the United States this year.

I wasn't aware that RFK, Jr had so much influence in Canada?

What is also not being reported is that the CDC recommendation for vaccination for measles is for children to have their first dose between the ages of 12-15 months.  A second dose is recommended between the ages of 4-6 before school entry.

If you do the math, RFK, Jr. and Donald Trump did not have any authority or influence 12-15 months ago when any parents of children might not have followed the CDC recommendation on the measles vaccine.

If you go back 4-5 years can you think of any reasons that children did not get vaccinated at that time?

Could it have been because children could not get normal appointments to see the doctor because of Covid hysteria?

Could we also be seeing the harmful effects of l the loss of faith in vaccines generally because of the questionable Covid vaccines? This has undoubtedly fueled vaccine hesitancy because of the lack of trust in public health authorities in numerous decisions during the Covid pandemic.

What is also not being reported is the likelihood that the measles outbreak in both Canada and the United States have been fueled by high levels of immigration in the last few years.

Consider the huge surge of immigrants into Canada in the last several years.

It is hardly a far-fetched notion that importing this many people in such a short period of time could have had an impact on why measles cases have exploded in Canada.

The same could also be true in the United States as we are all too familiar with the surge of migrants into the country during the Biden years.

West Texas has a large population of migrants from Central and South America. So do other states in the Southwest that have seen increased cases of measles this year.

A number of cases in the South Carolina outbreak have been traced to a Slavic church in Spartanburg, SC that has a large number of Russian and Ukrainian immigrants.

Way of Truth Church is a Slavic language congregation with a large contingent of immigrants from Ukraine, said Fedotov, who was born in the neighboring country of Moldova and moved to the United States at the age of 13.

One of the first two schools to have measles cases early in the outbreak was Global Academy of South Carolina, a K-8 charter school that is popular among Ukrainian families.

About 70 percent of its students come from a home in which a Slavic language is spoken, a school official said.


The measles vaccine was credited with the official elimination of this disease in the United States in 2000.

The CDC itself admits that since 2000 any new cases found in the United States would be from a foreign source.

All of this should show you how misleading the media is on the measles outbreak.

It is easy to put the blame on RFK, Jr. and Trump.

It is not as easy to point the finger and loss of trust in the public health authorities during Covid and the masses of immigrants who have come to the United States and Canada the last several years.

Doing that would simply be outside the bounds of political correctness and be contrary to the popular media narrative.

All of this should also be a reminder that nothing is ever as black and white as many as the medical authorities want to portray things.

There is a lot of evidence that the measles vaccine is effective.

However, like any medical intervention, it is not risk-free. 

The recently revealed longitudinal study of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated children at Henry Ford Hospital of over 18,000 children that were born at that hospital between 2000 and 2016 showed significant differences in the long-term health effects of the two groups.

In fact, in all 22 chronic health conditions that were monitored in the study, vaccinated children were worse off.

In absolute terms, the risks of developing cancer or autism in vaccinated children is still small.

For example, only 1% of vaccinated children developed cancer compared to 0.66% for those unvaccinated.

Neurodevelopmental disorders were only observed in about 6% of vaccinated children in the study compared to less than 1% in the unvaccinated.

Most children do just fine with the vaccines.

However, most children also do just fine if they contract the measles.


There is a cost/benefit trade off with the vaccines as there is with every other medical intervention.

Is the benefit of the vaccine against the measles worth the cost or an increased risk of cancer, autism or another condition?

Most health care professionals say yes.

However, as more parents become aware that the vaccination decision is not risk-free to their child, more have decided that the potential cost is potentially higher than the benefit.

That is what informed consent is supposed to be about.

Having access to all of the information on both sides of the issue so as to properly balance benefits and costs.

The only reason it has not been that way in the past is that childhood vaccines have too often been promoted as "all benefit" and "no cost".

Too often the medical community has decided they know better than anyone else.

"We can't give people all the information because they then may not make the RIGHT decision."
 
Of course, the only decision that is right is what they have decided is right.

And not being providing all of the information to make an informed decision is the worst misinformation you can have.
