Canada has been experiencing a large measles outbreak. More than half of the cases may be among people who have been “fully” vaccinated—that is, they had received all the mandated doses.
Measles is supposed to be a disease of the past, one that’s been wiped out by vaccines. What went wrong?
All sorts of excuses are being made, from blaming the unvaccinated to blaming immigrants to suggesting that the vaccine schedule isn’t aggressive enough to wondering if a pool of “susceptibles” has been building up over the years.
Studies of the Canadian measles outbreak were presented at a meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society of America this month. Dr. Gaston De Serres, an infectious diseases expert with the Quebec’s public health agency, is the lead author of one the studies, “Lower than expected vaccine efficacy in two-dose recipients and higher risk with younger age at first dose.” He states that the real question is, “How could it have happened?” He was referring to 52 of 98 measles cases in teens who’d been fully vaccinated. De Serres believes that timing of the measles vaccination is the issue.
Measles vaccinations are not given until a child is at least a year old. It’s believed that this is because the mother’s measles antibodies kill the vaccine viruses before babies can develop new antibodies of their own. So, De Serres suggests giving the vaccine on a different schedule, or possibly adding a third jab.
De Serres doesn’t explain why it has taken so many years since the measles vaccine was implemented for this outbreak to occur. Nor does he explain why so many who have had the second vaccination a few years later are also coming down with measles.
Another study, by Philippe Belanger, Ministère de la santé et des services sociaux du Québec, Montréal, is titled “Americas since 2000: Quebec ongoing epidemic.” Belanger stated:
While this still ongoing outbreak feeds largely on unvaccinated individuals, the high proportion of cases who received two doses raises concerns on vaccine effectiveness. However, the take-home message is still to get vaccinated.
Belanger overstates the facts. In some areas, as demonstrated by De Serres’ study, more of the vaccinated have come down with measles.
Exactly why getting vaccinated is the “take-home message” doesn’t appear to be explained. As is so often the case in vaccination issues, the need for vaccines is taken on faith. It’s beyond question. In other words, no matter what new information is learned—no matter how badly vaccines fail to prevent disease—the line is always the same:
Get vaccinated. Get vaccinated. GET VACCINATED!
Thou shalt not question thy Lord Doctor’s command. No matter what evidence is presented. No matter what logic says. No matter what you’ve experienced. Do not question the official vaccination line.
One of the most common excuses for forcing people to be vaccinated is to protect babies presumed too young to receive vaccinations. It makes no sense. It’s believed that they don’t need to be vaccinated because they already have the antibodies from their mothers. If that’s true—and we have every reason to believe that it is—then they don’t need to be protected from the unvaccinated.
Of course, the argument that people in other countries are the cause of measles outbreaks is also absurd. If the vaccines work, then the vaccinated should have no concerns.
De Serres and Belanger both begin and end from the same point: Vaccinations must be the solution. It matters not whether the facts fit the reality. They must be forced into the vaccines-are-the-solution theory. Because the US outbreak has been, per capita, far smaller than the Canadian one, De Serres suggests that the US vaccination schedule may be better than the Canadian one. However, he won’t entertain any concept that suggests a solution without vaccines.
However, one must ask why, if the vaccine is truly effective, it matters exactly when the doses are given, if they’re given after the age that’s believed effective and people coming down with measles have received them. Does the vaccine work or doesn’t it? And if people who’ve been vaccinated for measles, taking all the risks inherent in vaccinations, can’t expect to be protected from the disease, why should they have the vaccine? And finally, why aren’t these experts weighing the very real risks of vaccination against any benefits that they believe exist?
But then, to ask those questions violates a basic tenet of conventional medicine:
Get vaccinated. Get vaccinated. GET VACCINATED!
Anything that questions the vaccination doctrine is equivalent to questioning the foundation of conventional medicine.
