Measles Vaccination and Immunity Issues

So, these babies are now not protected directly because of vaccination.

The older adults who were protected for a lifetime

in the face of circulating viruses, again, they're not protected.

And that was actually borne out in the California outbreak,

where we saw that 11% of those cases were less than one year old

in California, and that 56% were greater than 20 years old.

Now, I'll tell you that the population that handles measles

best are the children that we're targeting for vaccination.

So we're absolutely targeting the wrong populations.

I guarantee you that most people in this room,

if you were to measure their immunity level, their titers, you would find that they're inadequate.

In fact, we know from LeBaron's article,

which I'm happy to provide, peer-reviewed article,

showing that after 20 years, 33% of us do not have protective antibodies to measles.

So now we're told that those of us that are over

50 years of age need to start getting measles boosters.

That's what we're looking at in the future.

So that's the history, some of the history of measles.

We're also told that it was all due to the unvaccinated in California,

and I have the stats right here that I got from the CDC,

MMWR, from California, the California Department of Public Health. This

is available to everybody. And so there were approximately 18... Let's see.

There were 49 unvaccinated people in that total of 110 cases in California.

And I'll tell you that of them,

25... Let's see. Of them, 18 were old enough to have vaccination, but

12 of them were actually too young to be vaccinated.

So it's not really fair to count them as unvaccinated.

Nine of them were sick when the vaccine was due.

Interestingly enough, there were 12% of those cases that were vaccinated.

So that tells you that there was a large proportion of the outbreak in California that was vaccinated.

And in fact, one of those cases turned out to be a vaccine strain,

and when it was later tested because of increased surveillance, they took it off of the register and did not count it as a case anymore.

And this has happened several times throughout the world where, because of increased surveillance, they find that a case that they see with full-blown measles turns out to be a vaccine strain

from the vaccine that child received, and they remove it from the register and don't count it as measles.

So this is the kind of information that I encourage doctors to understand and that there's a much bigger picture than that.

So as a result of vaccination, what we have now,

Damian, in 1998, a peer-reviewed article showed that in twice-vaccinated high school students,

between 22% and 33% of those during a measles epidemic showed that they were not immune enough from the beginning and

that they had to have...that they basically showed a secondary immune response, meaning that the virus was replicating in their bodies, and they were potentially contagious.

There are Russian articles showing that hospitalized patients during epidemics,

fully vaccinated people do not have sufficient titers to protect.

So despite this high vaccination rate that we have today, we are not going to have herd immunity,

and we will continue to have outbreaks. And because of this, there are scientists, Dr. Gregory Poland from the Mayo Clinic has written extensively on this problem,

saying that we need a new vaccine, that this vaccine is failing, that we have problems with primary failure, meaning between 2% and 8% of twice-vaccinated people never respond to the vaccine.

We have secondary failure from the vaccine, which I talked to you about.

Basically the immunity degrades over time, and I'm susceptible,

according to this, at this point. So we have a problem.

We also have vaccine escape mutants, which nobody wants to talk about, but is in the medical literature.

It's happening in China. There are mutant strains that are happening there.

And so there was one other point I wanted to make with regard to primary failure, secondary vaccine failure.

If I think of it, I will come back to it.
