I don't understand why measles has to be scary. It's well know that the bad side effects are mostly caused by vitamin A deficiency. So, two days of 200,000 iu of vitamin A is known to greatly decrease bad side effects. It is also known to heal cancer and tumors. Apparently it wipes the immune system clean.

See my reply above, couldn't agree more

I agree it shouldn’t be feared, but I doubt any of my medical colleagues know about the Vitamin A aspect.

It's really sad that they don't know this. I live in Indonesia, and one of my daughters got measles when she was one year old. The websites in English about measles were terrifying. The ones in Indonesia just suggested fever reducers, dark, and rest. The doctor we went to knew to give vitamin A. The Indonesian government actually passes out vitamin A to all elementary aged children and below specifically to counteract bad effects from childhood illnesses like measles, mumps, and rubella.

They give out the vitamin A twice a year in February and October.

Vitamin A is toxic in high doses. Beta carotene is safer because only what is needed is converted to vitamin A. There was an article in Danish I believe about vitamin A killing kids in Africa. I think it said it was girls and to do with unicef.

Taking it at that dose for 2 days is not going to kill you. You have to take vitamin A at a high dose for a very long time before it becomes toxic, and then your hair will start falling out in huge globs. Just don't eat polar bear liver.

I think this might have been the study. The concerning thing about it is the difference between boys and girls:

The mortality rate ratio (MRR) comparing VAS versus placebo recipients was 0.91 (95% confidence interval 0.59-1.41) and differed significantly between boys (MRR 1.92 [0.98-3.75]) and girls (MRR 0.45 [0.24-0.87]) (P = .003 for interaction between VAS and gender).

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25136048/

These ideas of giving vitamin A come from the same people as the 'vaccines' so if you don't trust the 'vaccines' why would you trust the vitamin A? Maybe with girls they eat less meat so are more likely to benefit from the vitamin A whereas boys are more likely to get too much from the supplement. In the west there is a lot of meat already eaten so probably both girls and boys would be having way too much vitamin A if they took a high dose supplement in reaction to a fabricated media frenzy which could lead to negative outcomes actually generated by the 'antivax' movement and blamed on 'measles'.

I seem to remember the issue was with girls tho. The research isn't into vitamin A in any case but the combination of it with 'vaccination' so if you start applying that to 'unvaccinated' people that could be problematic. Not MMR either but the overall averages when they give a whole bunch of different 'vaccines'. There is this study that says:

After 6 months of follow-up, the MRR was 0.60 (0.14-2.50) if

the most recent vaccination was DTP and 3.06 (0.63-15)

if the most recent vaccine was BCG vaccine or measles

vaccine... Compared with non-participants,

it was only boys, who benefited significantly from parti-

cipating in the campaign.

Doctor Morse says you can't claim deficiency without addressing digestion, absorption, utilization and elimination. He does not advise supplements in general but fruits berries and melons.

Right? And the fear-mongering continues—I feel like it is really a US or western-world thing. We might benefit greatly in the US from studying how other parts of the world manage illness.

This is exactly when Congressman Adam Schiff demanded we be censored on Amazon and Facebook. Indeed, by the end of March 2019 Facebook censored my reach of 2 million per month down to 100K per month reach (5% reach), and began the entire censorship program for all anti vaxxers everywhere.

I have been praying fervently that the 'somebody' you imagine JB will indeed become the head of HHS. I believe it will happen very soon and then all heaven will break loose in the health world of the US and well beyond!! Let the truth ring out and let the science finally be heard across this great land . Let us all keep praying . So far our God has been merciful and has given us a president and team we need rather than the one we deserve as a country.

Praise God!!

I don’t understand either. My mother and her friends all had children around the saw time and when one of us got measles or chick pox, etc. they exposed us so we could get it and build immunity. Although my brother only year older and we shared a room together, he’d get it but I never did. No one freaked out about it.

Just before the first rollout of a nationwide measles vaccine program, the three leading scientists at what was then called the Public Health Service (today’s CDC) made a presentation in San Francisco at the American Public Health Association’s annual meeting. The date was November 1, 1966. The presentation was led by Dr. David J. Sencer, who at the time held the title of chief of the PHS’s National Communicable Disease Center. He was joined by his assistant chief, Dr. H. Bruce Dull, as well as the PHS’s chief of epidemiology, Dr. Alexander Langmuir. It’s fair to say that at this point in history no one knew more about the measles virus than these three scientists. The PHS scientists used the APHA’s annual meeting to announce plans for their ambitious national launch, with the hopes of eradicating measles by the end of 1967.

The doctors also turned their presentation into a report titled, “Epidemiological Basis for Eradication of Measles in 1967,” and some of the matter-of-fact statements they made might get a doctor banned from the mainstream media today as even a single case of measles is a cause for panic and outbreak stories often make the national news. In fact, a new parent might think measles was just like Ebola, except it’s not, as the PHS scientists made very clear in 1966 stating,

“For centuries the measles virus has maintained a remarkably stable ecological relationship with man. The clinical disease is a characteristic syndrome of notable constancy and only moderate severity. Complications are infrequent, and, with adequate medical care, fatality is rare.”

In the 1950s and ’60s, even without vaccines, measles outbreaks only happened every few years, on a somewhat dependable cycle; they noted that “in large population centers, as in cities or whole metropolitan areas, measles epidemics recur in 2-to-3-year cycles.” They also established a vaccination threshold to eradicate measles well below the 95 percent number public health officials use today, nothing that “it is evident that when the level of immunity was higher than 55 percent, epidemics did not develop.” Before the vaccine had been introduced, it’s worth noting that the death rate from measles in the United States had already declined by approximately 99.96 percent from its peak in the mid-1800s. In 1960 the death rate from measles was 0.23 per 100,000 people. Asthma, by comparison, had a mortality rate more than ten times higher for the same year.

In 2013 “Measles Vaccination Before the Measles-Mumps-Rubella Vaccine” was published in the American Journal of Public Health, looking at the history of the measles vaccine, and had many similar observations about the history of measles, including the view from parents and doctors that measles was “unpleasant but inevitable”:

At the beginning of the 1960s, it was clear that a vaccine against measles would soon be available. Although measles was (and remains) a killer disease in the developing world, in the United States and Western Europe this was no longer so. Many parents and many medical practitioners considered measles an inevitable stage of a child’s development. . . . By 1960, thanks to the use of antibiotics and improvements in living conditions, measles mortality was declining steadily in industrialized countries. . . . Parents largely came to see measles as an unpleasant, although more or less inevitable, part of childhood. Many primary care physicians shared this view.

“So what?” some might argue, even if measles was considered a mild and inevitable illness of childhood, aren’t we better off as a society by having even less measles around? But I think we should all be suspicious of the extreme fear-mongering generated in the press every time even a single case of measles surfaces and ask the question, “Who is generating all the panic?” Also, we have to be honest about the adverse events from the MMR vaccine and decide if they outweigh the benefits of reducing the incidence of a mild childhood illness. According to Physicians for Informed Consent, a large group of doctors in California:

There is no evidence that the measles vaccine causes less death or permanent disability than measles. The vaccine package insert raises questions about safety testing for cancer, genetic mutations, and impaired fertility. Although VAERS tracks some adverse events, it is too inaccurate to measure against the risk of measles. Clinical trials do not have the ability to detect less common adverse reactions, and epidemiological studies are limited by the effects of chance and possible confounders. Safety studies of the measles vaccine are particularly lacking in statistical power. A review of more than 60 measles vaccine studies conducted for the Cochrane Library states, “The design and reporting of safety outcomes in MMR vaccine studies, both pre- and post-marketing, are largely inadequate.” Because permanent sequalae (after effects) from measles, especially in individuals with normal levels of vitamin A, are so rare, the level of accuracy of the research studies available is insufficient to prove that the vaccine causes less death or permanent injury than measles.

That’s quite a statement from a group of doctors. They’re saying the risk/reward equation to have the measles vaccine isn’t there.

I was born in ‘52 so it was exactly as you say, parents and family doctors saw measles as an unpleasant, but inevitable part of childhood and there was no fear about it. There was more fear around the fact that I was the only one who didn’t get the measles, mumps or chicken pox when exposed, especially since my brother did, and that it would be more detrimental should I get it later in life. It did not concern me as I was exposed many times and by 20s developed distrust with allopathic and turned towards more holistic and natural remedies.

I'd guess they were denying scurvy was caused by vitamin C deficiency for 200 years. Once they gave up that fight they changed the name to measles so they could continue. They formulated the vitamin A argument to distract from vitamin C or maybe it was just a bias. If you have fruit you are going to get vitamin C and beta carotene that converts to vitamin A but only what is needed so you can't have too much. With vitamin A you can have too much. Once they saw a 'measles vaccine' on the horizon they started a pre marketing campaign by telling parents to have measles parties. These days tho they say there is a 10 to 14 day incubation period which would probably be long after anyone had psychosomatic effects from the sleepover. The scurvy idea could be partly true and certainly I think in the old days that could have been more true. There is also vitamin D and I think the measles is a spring condition so it is more vitamin D triggering a detox and not a deficiency at all but the relief from one. You can look up sun rashes . Some of those look like measles. Comparing the picture of scurvy rashes and measles I think some look the same. In the past there would have been many more things labelled measles. With boys the vitamin D would probably be higher and with girls the vitamin C.

Yes, we don’t need a vaccine for everything with all the potential side effects. I lean towards homeopathy—nature taking care of the imbalance, as well as herbs and yes, weeds. You cannot patent Nature, God’s gift of pharmacy to us, first and foremost. I did get some Sun rashes in summer, especially when swimming in lake or river.

JB: Would like to offer this article to my substack (about 10,000 readers). Are you open to it being a guest post? By the way, during my tenure as publisher/editor of Well Being Journal (we published your article about mmr and autism links, though I sold the publication last month after 34 years since I started it in Washington) I recall a report that seemed to indicate Jay Inslee receives a lot of support from pharmaceutical interests. Is that anything you know about that you could include as a note in your article? SM

I wonder what measles actually is. Is it a “virus?” Is it a detoxification mechanism? Caused by malnutrition or a poison? We need to question the whole germ theory paradigm and myth of contagion. What actually makes us sick?

I would say it is a spring boost in vitamin D or after the rainy season. It could be a poison as well. However what is called measles these days in America has specific requirements like being 'unvaccinated', linkage to a laboratory-confirmed measles case and laboratory confirmation. This means that they generate the cases to appear to be linked to foreign travel and a 'unvaccinated' community. It is thus not anything but a definition used in MMR marketing campaigns. Someone could be laboratory confirmed and not measles if they are 'vaccinated' or did not say yes when asked if they went to such and such a city or shopping center, school at such and such a time etc. The cases are in response to an 'alert' from the cdc and are part of an 'outbreak' that begins with someone saying they had been abroad: mikestone.substack.com/p/measles-magic

There are other considerations that are seldom brought up .... and that is what long term affects do people now have that were prevented from having many of the milder childhood illnesses.

- Doctors used to expose "sickly" children to the measles because it seemed to boost their overall health.

- Not being exposed to Chicken Pox in your children and grandchildren, leave people more susceptible to shingles.

- Some experts believe that not having Mumps, leaves women more susceptible to Ovarian Cancer, a silent killer.

- Measles is now being used in cancer treatment research. Can anyone say that the lack of experiencing measles may have been a catalyst to the cancer in the first place?

It always makes me think of the old TV Commercial, "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature"!

Measles kill people. In 2023 WHO reported 107,500 deaths globally, mostly in children 5 and under who werent vaccinated.or under vaccinated.

As An RN of 20 years Ive administered 1000s of measle vaccines. I have never witnessed a severe adverse reaction and have seen these same children over a period of years.

I was also a vaccine study nurse for 2 years. The process to approve a vaccine is rigerous and time consuming.

Currently, there is a reported outbreak of measles in Texas.

I had measles as a child and have an immunity and I too questioned the validity of vaccines until i was informed by chief medical officers and pediatritions I worked with.

@Debra Crain. You are looking at a worldwide number of measles deaths. This includes third world countries without proper nutrition or clean water. The US hasn’t had a true measles death in 4 decades. There’s a difference between vaccinated and “under vaccinated”. The vaccine does not build upon itself in order to be covered. The second dose is simply to catch the 5% that did not seroconvert the first time. All are re-vaccinated to catch that 5%. “Under vaccinated” is a misnomer and inaccurate for measles. Children under 2 are at risk bc the vaccinated mothers are unable to pass maternal antibodies to their child as they can with them having had natural measles.

You say you haven’t witnessed a severe reaction, but do you even know what a severe reaction is? It is not just anaphylaxis. You state you were a vaccine study nurse for 2 years and the process is rigorous. What childrenhood vaccine was studied against a saline placebo control group? None. That is NOT rigorous. The children in the HepB study were only observed for 4 days after administration. That is NOT rigorous. You may have been administering vaccines in the studies but you don’t know what the statics end up showing. The children who were kicked out, the manipulation of the wording, the use of “the most common side effects are” being the things that common sense shows everyone would experience when a needle pokes the skin. The questions sent to the vaccinated/parents that limit what you’re looking for versus the range of what they experience. Maybe you should LISTEN to parents.

Barb, thank you for your reply.

It sounds like you have a child or know a child that had a reaction from a vaccine. im so sorry.

I do listen to parents as they were the voices for our patients. Vaccine studies are longer than 4 days.

Prior to childhood vaccines pre 1960s measles killed as well as polio, pertussis etc. you never hear that anymore. why is that?

Vitamin C was popularized in the 1960s by Linus Pauling. Polio was phased out since people were demanding the Sister Kenny cure and their barbaric treatments were becoming a huge embarrassment. They needed to get rid of this 'disease' and move the cases someplace other not associated with Polio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlZAFQk2fJI
