The number of annual measles in the years prior to the introduction of measles was less than 1/8th of your preposterous claim.  The truth is that measles cases and particularly measles deaths had been steadily on the decline due to improved sanitation, nutrition and access to medical intervention.  In fact, the death rate from measles had actually declined 97% from 1850 to 1962.  As is the case with other vaccines, mainstream medicine gives vaccines credit a lions share of undeserved credit.

"It is easy to provide statistical evidence which creates the impression that vaccination works. Here is a good example which appears in the book, Communicable Diseases Handbook by L. Claire Bennett and Sarah Searl from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. On Page 44 it states: "An effective inoculation program should obviously result in a lowered incidence of the particular disease under surveillance. For instance, since 1963 there have been more than 80 million doses of red measles vaccine given. The number of reported cases has gone from a pre-1963 total of about 500,000 to a total of about 35,000 in 1975". Now this suggests that the vaccine was indeed responsible for this decline, that is until we go back to 1958 and learn that the number of cases was 800,000! In other words, measles cases were in decline before the 1963 vaccine commenced. (In fact by 1955, still eight years before the start of this vaccine, there had been a 97% decline in the death rate from measles since the turn of the century!) What is more, medical authorities have since acknowledged that the 1963 measles vaccine was a complete failure!

This same scenario occurs with graphical evidence also.

[]

An examination of Graph 1 suggests that measles vaccine was responsible for the decline, but if we examine Graph 2 and go back to 1900, we can clearly see that the major part of the decline had already occurred and that the commencement of vaccination had no impact on the rate of decline thereafter. If you happen to visit a medical library and examine some of the texts and medical journals, you will find that most graphical evidence on the decline of infectious disease starts from the year 1940 when antibiotics and certain vaccinations commenced. Such graphs always present a misleading picture. Is it any wonder that most doctors believe in drug therapy and vaccinations? They have never seen the whole picture. In the Natural Health magazine, July 1988, an article appeared on Vaccination Therapy, in which the author, Shirley Lewis, mentioned this very point. Ms Lewis spoke of a doctor who undertook her own research by consulting relevant material in the medical library. As Ms Lewis points out, "She showed us a graph, from a medical journal, that proved how effective antibiotics and immunization had been in eradicating scarlet fever, diphtheria, whooping cough and measles. But this doctor's copy of the graph started in 1940, and we had already seen the fuller graph, which started in 1850 and showed that in all four diseases, a steady decline had been happening long before the introduction of either immunization or antibiotics. So that doctor had made a conscientious decision based on a graph that had been deliberately falsified". This explains the comments of Dr Lancaster (Medical Journal of Australia Nov 1967): "Misconceptions on the importance of direct medical and surgical intervention in the progress of mortality are widely held by historians, statisticians and medical theorists".

There are several other ways that statistics can be manipulated or falsified in order to create the impression that vaccines work. A common and well used technique is to 're-diagnose'. This means that if a patient presents the characteristic symptoms of a particular disease, yet has already been vaccinated against that disease, the doctor will diagnose something else. The National Anti-Vaccination League in Britain provides evidence of this in much of its literature. For example, chicken pox, according to medical authorities is a non-fatal disease. Yet, "In the thirty years ending in 1934, 3,112 people are stated to have died of chicken pox in England and Wales". The truth is that these people actually died of smallpox against which they had been previously vaccinated. Because of their vaccine status, however, their deaths were recorded as chicken pox. According to The Truth Teller, January 1927, "This has been admitted by English medical officers of health, and the Ministry of Health has twice stated in answer to questions in Parliament that vaccination is one factor in the diagnosis of these cases".

George Bernard Shaw, the illustrious poet and also an ardent campaigner on public health issues, once stated:

 

 

"During the last considerable epidemic at the turn of the century, I was a member of the Health Committee of London Borough Council, and I learned how the credit of vaccination is kept up statistically by diagnosing all the re-vaccinated cases (of smallpox) as postular eczema, varioloid or what not --except smallpox".

Extracted from Chapter 11 of the book "VACCINATION THE HIDDEN FACTS"

No one has been dying of measles in the US lately and even with the much ballyhood "outbreak" of 131 cases this year so far (so what, there was a previous outbreak with 55,000 cases from 1988-91 - almost three decades after the measles vaccine), there have been no deaths, only 12 hospitalizations and no permanent disabilities.  On the other hand, they have been dying from the measles vaccination in recent years, and it has resulted so far this year in a much larger number of hospitalizations than happened from measles as well as life threatening events, disabilities, and, yes, even one death.

If you are going to list the side effects of measles, how about including those for the vaccine:

And let us not ever forget that the Measles Vaccine, like virtually all other vaccines, has not been tested for mutagenic activities - despite the fact that a great many vaccines contains many ingredients that have been shown to be mutagenic.

So, what you are saying is that mothers and fathers should trade in a zero chance of death, life threatening conditions or permanent disability, given this year's US statistics, for a chance of death or any of the reported side effects for the measles vaccinations listed above?  And the possibility of cancer on down the line too?

Vaccination safety indeed! Is it any wonder many parents choose good hygeine, diet and lifestyle for their children instead of taking such a risk?
