Measles outbreaks are being caused by the unvaccinated
U.S. measles cases in 2013 may be most in 17 years
(CNN) -- This year is on track to be the worst for measles in more than a decade, according to new numbers released Thursday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And people who refuse to vaccinate their children are behind the increasing number of outbreaks, health officials say.

Are Unvaccinated People Being Wrongly Blamed for New Outbreaks that are due to Faulty Vaccines?
Almost every time an outbreak of a disease occurs in the U.S. for which a vaccine exists, people who refuse vaccines are automatically blamed for the outbreaks. Unfortunately, this blame is based on belief in vaccine doctrine more than on data and science. Most of the world’s top vaccine manufacturers are based out of the U.S. and heavily invest in advertising in the mainstream media. Therefore, questioning the effectiveness of vaccines is seldom, if ever, covered in the U.S. media.
So once again, we turn to media outside the U.S. to find news questioning the effectiveness of vaccines. I am not referring to the alternative media that takes an anti-vaccine stance (as we do), but pro-vaccine mainstream media that generally accepts the standard dogma regarding vaccines, but notices they don’t always work as advertised, and actually report on it.
The first report is from Europe, where a new whooping cough vaccine is being developed. From the article:
Why test a new vaccine against whooping cough, when a vaccine already exists? The World Health Organisation has noticed a global upsurge in whooping cough cases. This disease now accounts for 20 to 40 million cases and for about 200,000 casualties per year across the world. In the USA, the highest number of cases in 60 years was recorded in 2012, with more than 48,000 cases. There is a similar trend in the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Japan and Australia… This upsurge is attributed to a limited long-term efficacy of the traditional vaccine delivered during childhood. As a result, teenagers and adults catch whooping cough and infect infants, who are much more sensitive to the disease. (Source.)
So the current whooping cough vaccine doesn’t work. This is common knowledge in most of the world, but when outbreaks of whooping cough occur here in the U.S., the unvaccinated population is blamed anyway. The fact that the outbreaks occur among those who have received the vaccine is almost never reported, despite the fact that even here in the U.S. media, the limitations and failures of the whooping cough vaccine have been reported, including a recent FDA study. (See: FDA Pertussis Vaccine Study Shatters Illusion of Vaccine-Induced Immunity)
Next, let’s take a look at measles outbreaks and the measles vaccine. A story published this week in the Australian Canberra Times reported:
WHILE Australia is one of 10 countries to declare itself measles-free, the confirmed case of the virus in the ACT in December revealed a small weakness in the nation’s measles vaccination program. Those aged between 20 and 40 are the most susceptible to measles among vaccinated Australians.
The latest case involved a vaccinated ACT woman in her 30s who was exposed to the virus via an overseas visitor to a Sydney dance party. Having missed out on natural immunity through exposure to the virus – an immunity most older Australians have – younger adults are likely to have received only a single dose of the vaccine, which is now routinely administered twice. (Source.)
So here we have a pro-vaccine mainstream media source in Australia reporting on the fact that people vaccinated for the measles are coming down with the measles, due to the ineffectiveness of older vaccines.
Notice what else they reported: “Having missed out on natural immunity through exposure to the virus….” The effectiveness of natural immunity (via contacting the disease as opposed to being vaccinated against it) versus vaccine antibodies is almost never discussed (you can listen to Dr. Tenpenny discuss it in the video below).
One reason why it is probably never discussed, is because the logical conclusion would lead to the fact that most of these diseases would probably already have been eliminated if we had let natural immunity take its course, and that we are actually seeing a resurgence in these diseases because of vaccines, notbecause some portion of the population has refused vaccines. No, reporting that would be bad for the vaccine business, very bad.
As you can see from the graph above, the belief that measles was nearly eliminated by the measles vaccine does not represent the data. For an excellent discussion of the measles vaccine and its (in)effectiveness, including references to peer-reviewed studies, see Outbreaks of Measles in Vaccinated Children Intensifying by Dr. Viera Scheibner (PhD).
The ineffectiveness and unintended consequences of measles vaccination
by Dr
Viera Scheibner (PhD)
International Medical Counsel on Vaccination
Measles vaccination in the US and many other countries started in the early 1960s, at the time when measles was naturally abating and was heading for the 18 year low. That’s why the vaccine seemingly lowered the incidence; however, this was only coincidental with the natural dynamics of measles.
As one of many examples involving all infectious diseases of childhood against which vaccines have been developed, ever since any measles vaccines have been introduced and used in mass proportions, reports of outbreaks and epidemics of measles in even 100% vaccinated populations started filling pages in medical journals.
Reports of serious reactions including deaths also appeared with increasing frequency. They are the subject of a separate essay.
It is less well known to the general public that vaccinated children started developing an especially vicious form of measles, due to the altered host immune response caused by the deleterious effect of the measles vaccines. It resisted all orthodox treatment and carried a high mortality rate.
It has become known as atypical measles. (AMS)
Rauh and Schmidt (1965) described nine cases of AMS which occurred in 1963 during a measles epidemic in Cincinnati. The authors followed 386 children who had received three doses of killed measles virus vaccine in 1961. Of these 386 children, 125 had been exposed to measles and 54 developed it [i.e. measles].
The new, atypical measles, occurring in the vaccinated was characterised by high fever, unusual rash and pneumonia, often with history of vaccination with killed measles vaccine.
Rauh and Schmidt (1965) concluded that, “It is obvious that three injections of killed vaccine had not protected a large percentage of children against measles when exposed within a period of two-and-a-half years after immunization”.
Fulginiti (1967) also described the occurrence of atypical measles in ten children who had received inactivated (killed) measles virus vaccine five to six years previously.
Nichols (1979) wrote that atypical measles is generally thought to be a hypersensitivity response to natural measles infection in individuals who have previously received killed measles vaccine, although several investigators have reported AMS-like illness in children who had been vaccinated only with live measles vaccine.
He wrote that during a measles epidemic in 1974-1975 in Northern California, a number of physicians reported laboratory-confirmed measles in patients who had signs and symptoms, compatible with AMS…”We developed case criteria on the basis of serology and rash distribution and morphology. In typical measles a maculopapular rash occurs first at the hairline, progresses caudally, is concentrated on the face and trunk, and is often accompanied by Koplik’s spots. In AMS the rash Is morphologically a mixture of maculopapular, petechial, vesicular, and urticarial components. It usually begins and is concentrated primarily on the extremities, progresses cephalad, and is not accompanied by Koplik’s spots. Cases were classified as AMS if patients had 1) a rash with the distribution and morphology characteristic of AMS, and 2) a fourfold or greater rise in titer of complement-fixing measles antibody or a convalescent titer of 256”.
In the meantime, outbreaks of measles in vaccinated children have continued and intensified to this day. Contemporary observations of the ineffectiveness of vaccination indicate to me that the incidence of measles has increased and has not continued decreasing as it did for some 100 years before any type of measles vaccination was introduced.
Conrad et al. (1971) published about the dynamics of measles in the US in the last four years and conceded that measles was on the increase and that “eradication, if possible, now seems far in the future”.
Barratta et al. (1970) investigated an outbreak in Florida from December 1968 to February 1969 and found little difference in the incidence of measles in vaccinated and unvaccinated children.
Right through the 1980s, measles outbreaks in fully vaccinated children have continued all over the US and all other countries with high vaccination rates all over the world.
Robertson et al. (1992) wrote that in 1985 and 1986. 152 measles outbreaks in US school-age children occurred among persons who had previously received measles vaccine. “Every 2-3 years, there is an upsurge of measles irrespective of vaccination compliance”.
To cap it all: the largely unvaccinated Amish (they claim religious exemption) had not reported a single case of measles between 1970 and December 1987, for 18 years (Sutter et al. 1991). It is quite likely that a similar situation would have applied to outside communities without any vaccination and that measles vaccination had actually kept measles alive and kicking. According to Hedrich (1933), there is a variety of dynamics of measles occurrence, from 2-3 years to up to 18 years, as later also witnessed by the unvaccinated Amish.
Despite the obvious lack of success with measles vaccination, in October 1978, the Secretary of the Department of Health, Joseph A Califano Jr. announced, “We are launching an effort that seeks to free the United States from measles by 1 October 1982″.
Predictably, this unrealistic plan fell flatly on its face: after 1982 the US was hit repeatedly by major and even more sustained epidemics of measles, mostly in fully vaccinated populations. First, the blame was laid upon the “ineffective, formalin-inactivated (‘killed’) measles vaccine, administered to hundreds of thousands of children from 1963 to 1967″. However, outbreaks and epidemics of measles continued occurring even when this first vaccine was replaced with two doses of ‘live’ measles virus vaccines and the age of administration was changed.
These warnings have not been heeded. As the Swiss doctors wrote (Albonico et al. 1990), “we have lost the common sense and wisdom that used to prevail in the approach to childhood diseases. Too often, instead of reinforcing the organism’s defences, fever and symptoms are relentlessly suppressed. This is not always without consequences”.
Many researchers warned straight after the introduction of measles vaccine in the US that the generations of children born to mothers who were vaccinated in childhood will be born with poor or no transplacentally-transmitted immunity and will contract measles and other diseases too early in life.
Lennon and Black (1986) demonstrated that “haemaglutinin-inhibiting and neutralizing antibody titers are lower in women young enough to have been immunized by vaccination than older women”. The same applied to whooping cough. It explains why so many babies before vaccination age develop these diseases, and most particularly the much publicised whooping cough.

Dr Viera Scheibner is Principal Research Scientist (Retired) with a doctorate in Natural Sciences from Comenius University in Bratislava. After an eminent scientific career in micropalaeontology during which she published 3 books and some 90 scientific papers in refereed scientific journals in Australia and overseas, she studied babies’ breathing patterns with the Cotwatch breathing monitor developed by her late husband Leif Karlsson in the mid 1980s. Babies had alarms after vaccination, indicating stress. This introduced her to the subject of vaccination. She then started systematically studying orthodox medical papers dealing with vaccination issues. To this day she has collected and studied more than 100000 pages of medical papers.
Despite such extensive research of
orthodox medical papers published on vaccines over the past 100 years, she
established that there is no scientific evidence that these injections of
highly noxious substances prevent diseases, quite to the contrary, that they
increase susceptibility to the diseases which the vaccines are supposed to
prevent and also to a host of related and unrelated viral and bacterial
infections. Vaccines are involved in a great number of modern ills of
childhood such as immunoreactive diseases (asthma, allergies), autoimmune
diseases (diabetes, multiple sclerosis, lupus erythematosis), cancers,
leukaemia, degenerative diseases of bone and cartilage, behavioural and
learning problems, to mention just the most important conditions.
Her research into vaccination has culminated so far in two books and a
number of shorter and longer individual papers published in a variety of
scientific and medical publications. She has also conducted frequent
international lecture tours to present the results of her research to
parents, health and medical professionals and anyone else who is interested.
She has also provided a great number of
expert witness reports for court cases relating to deaths and injuries
caused by vaccines, such as so-called “shaken baby” syndrome.
