First it was the flu. Then, it was whooping and mumps. Now (predictably) . . . it’s the shmeasles measles. I know what you’re thinking:
“Gasp! Did she just make a play on words with a horrifying, deadly disease? Doesn’t she know that measles is making a comeback and is at an all-time high?”
Yes, I totally did (but no, it’s actually not). Dealing with dishonest measles propaganda got me like, “whoa.” Am I scared of my child getting measles? Absolutely not. Am I scared of the MMR vaccine . . . you better believe it. I’d be scared to give my child anything that hasn’t been proven safe or effective and has a track record of killing children or leaving them with debilitating neurological conditions. You would be too if you were getting the facts…the real facts.
(Sh)measles Inconsistencies
According to the CDC’s most recent Morbidity and Mortality Report (MMWR) measles is a “highly contagious, acute viral illness that can lead to serious complications and death.” Of course, prior MMWR reports and the CDC’s manual of surveillance leave out that last part; but since we’re trying to scare people into vaccinating their children, this 2014 gem of a report decided to adopt a global view and kick the emotions up a notch to let you know what’s at stake…death.
If you’ve been watching the media, subscribing to anti-vaxxer hate articles, or just so happen to come across the World Health Organization statistics, you’ll see that 122,000 people die from measles globally each year. Scary, right?
Yet, on that same MMWR report the CDC lists the clinical definition for measles as “an illness characterized by a generalized rash lasting ≥3 days, a temperature of ≥101°F [≥38.3°C], and cough, coryza, and/or conjunctivitis.” In other words, a rash, cough, and fever is how measles typically presents at the doctor’s office here in the United States, and this is the clinical definition used on all of their reports and surveillance data. Do you know how many people die each year from measles in this country? About zero.
So which is it? A deadly disease…or a rash? Well, it depends on whether we’re using global statistics. If you’re not, it’s a rash. If you’re trying to sensationalize a disease and fear monger people into vaccinating their kids with one of the most controversial vaccines there is…it’s an earth-shattering, beyond words terrifying, deadly disease. Except that it’s not…not in America anyway, and it’s not hard to see why.
According to the World Health Organization,
“Severe measles is more likely among poorly nourished young children, especially those with insufficient vitamin A, or whose immune systems have been weakened by HIV/AIDS or other diseases. [..] As high as 10% of measles cases result in death among populations with high levels of malnutrition and a lack of adequate health care. […] More than 95% of measles deaths occur in countries with low per capita incomes and weak health infrastructures. […] Overcrowding in residential camps greatly increases the risk of infection.”
I hate to point out the obvious here, but we do not live in a third world country. But hey, if I walk out my front door in the morning and step onto a dirt road that’s never seen trash service, or a sewer system, and is crowded with millions of starving people, I’ll let you know.
Seriously, applying global statistics of developing countries to the United States is like doing an obesity campaign in Africa based on U.S statistics. Yes, it’s completely rational to compare the second fattest nation in the world to a starving African country. The three leading causes of death in this country (heart disease, cancer, and our own healthcare system) are not the leading causes of death in third world countries. Actually, in developing countries measles doesn’t even make the “top 10” list. 122,000 people die from measles globally but over a half a million people in low-income countries alone, die from road traffic accidents. Do they make a vaccine for that?
I’m not trying to downplay death here, but I think it’s ironic that we use global statistics when it suits us, chalk up the decline of disease in this country to the vaccine, overlook the comparisons between an industrialized country and a developing one, and completely ignore the fact that the MMR vaccine is associated with severe adverse reactions including death, which is happening at a far higher rate in this country.
The Schmeasle Facts
Here’s how the measles statistics break down over the past few years:
- In 2017 there were 120 cases of measles.
- In 2016, there were 86.
- In 2015, there were 188 cases.
- In 2014 there were 667 cases of measles, no cases of encephalitis, and no death.
- In 2013 there were 189 cases of measles, no encephalitis and no death.
- In 2012 there were 54 cases of measles, no encephalitis, and no death.
- In 2011, there were 220 cases of measles, and you guessed it . . . no encephalitis, and no death.
I could go on, but you get the point. By and large, measles is an unpleasant rash with a fever but it isn’t deadly. The clinical definition doesn’t support that and neither do the facts. By comparison, as of March 1, 2012 there were 842 serious injuries following the MMR vaccine and 140 deaths. Between 1990 and 2014, were more than 6,058 serious adverse events reported to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS). That’s significant when you consider that only 1-10% of adverse events are actually reported to this system.
I’d give you some legit 2017 statistics but unfortunately, we don’t keep track of the adverse reactions because the vaccine industry would crumble and we’d be sued for the 1 in 36 autism numbers and for injuring and killing thousands of children if we did. Measles statistics are only important if they will help us scare people into vaccinating:
But measles can cause blindness . . . so can the MMR vaccine.
But measles can cause encephalitis . . . so can the MMR vaccine
But measles can cause pneumonia . . . so can the MMR vaccine.
But if I don’t get vaccinated, I could get measles . . . If you do get vaccinated you could get measles, both from the vaccine, and when your temporary (if any) vaccine immunity disappears.
The CDC says that 5-10 percent of people vaccinated with MMR will develop a fever and rash. This means there are 650,000-1,300,000 cases of vaccine-induced measles in the U.S each year based off of the 13-14 million doses given to one-year-olds.
But if my child gets measles . . . they could die. Given U.S statistics, they’re more likely to die from the MMR vaccine.
Death from various, and in some cases unknown, causes has been reported rarely following vaccination with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines […]. – MMR Vaccine insert
But the measles vaccine has prevented so many deaths. Wrong. Read the chapter on measles from this book. We’ve been duped. Secondly, it’s impossible to test whether a vaccine prevented a death. You’d have to assume that if there were an outbreak of measles, everyone would have gotten it, and you’d have to assume that everyone vaccinated against measles would have had immunity. Vaccinated people get the diseases they’re vaccinated against all . . . the . . . time.
But the measles vaccine has been proven safe and effective. Wrong again. But hey, call me up when someone does a double-blind (saline/inert) placebo controlled study on this vaccine, and let me know when “effective” means “life-time immunity.”
But if you don’t vaccinate, my baby who is too young to be vaccinated will be at risk. You’ve heard it. I’ve heard it:
“Unvaccinated people put themselves and others at risk — particularly infants too young to be vaccinated, who can have the most severe complications.” – Anne Schuchat, MD
Absolutely not true. What puts our babies at risk is the waning immunity that comes from a highly vaccinated population. You know what would give your baby a good dose of protection for the first year of their life? You guessed it, a mother whose been exposed to wild measles who then passes on these antibodies to protect her baby for the first year of life. Actually, medical literature suggests this protection could last up to 10 years. Imagine that.
The Benefits of Natural Exposure to Wild Measles
Nobody wants their child to get sick . . . ever . . . from a vaccine or a virus, but the truth of the matter is that natural exposure to these viruses are incredibly important for the development of our immune systems and for disease protection in years to come.
A measles rash as a child could yield protection against cancer as an adult (The Lancet, Bluming 1971, Pasquinucci 1971, Taqi 1981) and may provide protection against degenerative diseases of bone and cartilage, sebaceous skin diseases, immunoreactive diseases and certain tumours.
And, if you believe the hype about the measles vaccine that can treat cancer, then you have to acknowledge the fact that the real virus can do the same – and without the need to inoculate the equivalent of 10 million people with a genetically engineered teenage mutant ninja measles virus.
The Risks v. the “Benefits”
So we have measles, which is associated with a red, itchy, rash, a runny nose, and a cough, that gives lifetime immunity, protection against more serious diseases as adults, and allows a mother to pass these antibodies to her baby for protection during their first year of life . . . or you have the MMR vaccine, which only provides temporary (if any) immunity, and could cause the following possible adverse reactions:
Panniculitis, atypical measles, fever, syncope, headache, dizziness, malaise, irritability, vasculitis, pancreatitis, diarrhea, vomiting, parotitis; nausea, diabetes, thrombocytopenia, purpura, regional lymphadenopathy, leukocytosis, anaphylaxis, arthritis, arthralgia, myalgia, encephalitis, encephalopathy, measles inclusion body encephalitis, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, Guillain-Barré Syndrome, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, seizures, convulsions, polyneuritis, polyneuropathy, ocular palsies, paresthesia, aseptic meningitis, pneumonia, pneumonitis, sore throat, cough, rhinitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, erythema multiforme, urticaria, measles-like rash, pruritus, nerve deafness, otitis media, retinitis, optic neuritis (i.e. blindness), papillitis, retrobulbar neuritis, conjunctivitis, epididymitis, orchitis, and death.
Yeah, but didn’t you see that scary picture of the child who had measles used to scare everyone into vaccinating?
Yeah . . . I did, and I wanted to congratulate this kid’s immune system. You see, the measles virus doesn’t cause the rash. This rash is physical evidence of cellular immunity destroying virus-containing cells and it’s extremely important. In other words, this scary rash is a byproduct of T-cells neutralizing the measles virus. Without it our children could die or be exposed to far worse diseases as adults.
Here’s a picture of a child post MMR vaccine who also developed a rash.
Unfortunately this child will not get lifetime immunity, will not have antibodies to pass on to their own children, and will be at risk for developing measles as an adult (which is much more serious) as well as a whole host of other diseases, including cancer. Knowing what I just told you about the significance of the rash, this is clear evidence that this child’s body is trying to neutralize an infection caused by the vaccine.
Here are pictures of two other children post MMR vaccine.
What? You didn’t see this on the news? Me neither. Seriously, the vaccine you get to protect your children from measles . . . did that. The MMR vaccine has also left children disabled, paralyzed, chronically diseased, and dead both here and in third-world countries.
But what about children in third-world countries?
The reason children in third world countries die from measles is because they are malnourished or have impaired cellular immunity and cannot neutralize the virus (via a rash), because they are vitamin A deficient (which according to the WHO can reduce the number of deaths from measles by 50%); or because we’re vaccinating small children with MMR while they have measles protective antibodies from their mother still in their bodies.
But, what about the mmr vaccine and autism?
The big argument is that (a) MMR isn’t associated with autism, and (b) it could be, but the deadly threat of measles is more dangerous than a lifetime of autism . . . so for the sake of everyone we should all vaccinate.
Whether you believe in the connection between MMR and autism, or not, if there is even the slightest chance that the MMR vaccine triggers any disease, we should not be injecting any child with this vaccine. A mild, unpleasant measles rash pales in comparison to ALL of the possible adverse MMR reactions . . . including autism.
Schmeasles Propaganda
Measles propaganda is not a new phenomenon. In 1996, 2008, and 2011, measles was at an “all-time-high” and the unvaccinated were to blame (as usual). But yearly statistics fluctuate and the majority of outbreaks regardless of the year occur in travelers who come from other countries.
Each year measles also occurs in the vaccinated, and outbreaks overall are highest in the most vaccinated states including New York, California, and Ohio; states that all “theoretically” should be protected by “vaccine-induced” herd immunity. Oh yeah . . . that. If you look at the statistics, you’ll see that the majority of people who get measles today are older. You can thank vaccines for shifting people into susceptibility groups where these diseases are typically much more severe.
I don’t want my child to ever get sick, but you can’t convince me that the faulty, temporary immunity cooked up in Dexter’s laboratory which shifts exposure of measles to the youngest and the older most at-risk populations, causes serious vaccine adverse reactions, contains viruses, residual tissue, cells, and DNA from aborted babies, and toxic ingredients that would put a parent in jail if they made their kids ingest them individually, and yields nothing short of junk protection, is superior to natural immunity.
I’m all for evidence-based medicine, but I draw the line at “bad evidence.”
I opted out of the MMR vaccine and I’m not scared of the shmeasle measles. But don’t take my word for it: Talk to generations older than you who actually had measles, look at how measles was portrayed in the media before marketing and money got involved, and research this vaccine for yourself.

May 6, 2019 at 6:58 pmHi Megan, I’m hoping you can help me with a question that I’ve been pondering for years…we have an 8-year-old child who is vaccine free and has never acquired chickenpox or measles. She is very healthy, eats well, mostly fresh foods and is a competitive gymnast, so she is quite fit. I wonder if she is less likely to catch chickenpox or measles because she is so healthy? I often wonder if I should seek out exposure so that she develops immunity as a child, or just hope that she becomes a healthy adult that will be resistant? I keep going back to, if she never acquires chickenpox, that is even better than a forced acquisition, but I’m not sure if I’m on the right track. What are the statistics for acquiring either of these as an adult? Dangerous or not? Thanks for any insight you can share.
Megan Redshaw
May 9, 2019 at 7:04 pmHi Kris,
Well I personally believe in the terrain theory which states that germs only live in environments conducive to growth. So if a person is super healthy, they are more likely to NOT get sick. I wouldn’t necessarily seek out exposure or avoid it. I personally haven’t had chicken pox and it’s not something I am even remotely worried about. My daughter had it and it was uneventful. (I actually wrote about it on this blog). As it pertains to the vaccinated, their “immunity” if any they derived, is long gone and their risk of contracting shingles is greater because of being vaccinated. I’m not sure what statistics you’re looking for, but here are two posts I’ve written and I always recommend the PubMed database for any studies you might need.

May 4, 2019 at 8:02 am***WHO IS Dr ANDREW WAKEFIELD?
THE MEANING OF THE WAKEFIELD PROSECUTION
Dr. Wakefield was, and remains, a dissident from medical orthodoxy. The medical establishment subjected him to a modern day medical show trial for his dissent. Dr. Wakefield’s research raised fundamental doubts about the safety of vaccines and the aetiology of autism. Dr. Wakefield was punished for his temerity to caution the public about vaccine risks and to urge them to use their own judgment. Dr. Wakefield was punished for upholding vaccination choice.
The purpose of the proceeding, as in any show trial, was to communicate to other doctors and scientists, and to the public, the error of the perpetrator’s ways. A show trial offers a veneer of due process but, at its core, displays naked power. The apparent intent of the prosecution was to intimidate others from following Dr. Wakefield’s footsteps and to teach the lesson that anyone in the medical or scientific community who dares to publicly question the safety and efficacy of vaccines will be punished with utmost severity. The GMC appears to have decided that if the price of such a lesson was scientific ignorance about vaccine-autism links and the suffering of severely ill children, then so be it. Dr. Wakefield was made an example.
The GMC destroyed Dr. Wakefield’s professional reputation and livelihood, and The Lancet and other publications confiscated his professional accomplishment through retraction. The GMC colluded with The Lancet, the media, the British Department of Health, the pharmaceutical industry, and even with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Justice, to discredit Dr. Wakefield. Before long, the world will likely recognize that it was Dr. Wakefield, not his detractors, who stood up for the practice of medicine and the pursuit of science. Dr. Wakefield remains an unbowed dissident in the face of a repressive medical and scientific establishment. Mary Holland

March 21, 2019 at 4:15 pmThis is great information. It is hard to cover ever issue related to vaccines and parents need to do there own research. Which can take hours and I would say is the only way to actually give “informed consent”. I’ve made the decision about not vaccinating 13 years ago when my first was born and always revisit the information to make sure I stay informed. For now, we will work on our immune systems and keeping the strong.
I had the measles as a child 45 years ago. My mother hardly remembers it!
Sheri
April 13, 2019 at 12:31 pmMegan, you rock!! This was a great article. I stopped vaccinating my kids 16 years ago, got informed and treat any sicknesses naturally. We got kicked out of our pediatrician’s office, but no worries, we haven’t needed him in all those years!!

February 11, 2019 at 10:59 amThe problem is that us layman are not capable of researching this by ourselves. I am an extremely educated person, but not in THIS subject. I am not a specialist, and neither are you. I do not believe you have the expertise to judge the relative dangers of vaccinating vs not vaccinating. Neither can I and neither can 99% of the people read this. Urging people to “go do your own research” is dangerous, because they don’t have the expertise to properly do so. Neither do you, which is probably why your conclusions are so incorrect.
This quote illustrates my point perfect: “I’m all for evidence-based medicine, but I draw the line at ‘bad evidence.’”
You don’t have the training to be able to tell the difference.
Bridget
September 4, 2018 at 5:32 pmWhat if your child does get measles? What are the best natural thrapies? Our 5yr old got vaccines up until 2 years ago when we became educated. I also believe he received more than he was supposed to before that time. He has the bumps around the forehead and the face and is really tired. Need some advice please. Thank you.

August 17, 2018 at 6:11 pmI really enjoyed your post!
I am a big advocate for preventative health. I am not opposed to medical care as it does save lives. But I believe it prevention, beginning with what we put into our body and how we build up the immune system. The measles recently reached our area, which has prompted me to research the viral infection more in order to maintain a healthy household and immune system in my family. I enjoyed this.
Theora
June 29, 2018 at 10:11 amYour article is poorly researched and full of fallacies. You compare the possible risks of the measles vax against the diagnostic description for measles. You scoff at it as a “rash”. Poison ivy causes a rash, so does chicken pox, so did smallpox. There are rashes that are manageable, and rashes that are severe. Measles is not a trivial illness. I had chicken pox as a kid because there was no vaccine, and now I’m at risk for shingles, which can be terribly painful and debilitating.
To make a valid comparison, compare the risks of vaccination, which are extremely low, with the risks from measles. I used the CDC because that’s your source for risks form vaccination. https://www.cdc.gov/measles/about/complications.html. 20% risk of pneumonia. 10% risk of ear infection and diarrhea (dangerous in small children), possibility of encephalitis , 1 in 1,000 risk of death. Not all kids in the US, even in prosperous homes, have excellent nutrition and health. Where is your concern for children living in poverty in the US?
You and other anti-xaxxers mistrust the CDC and equate them with Big Pharma. From what I have learned, the CDC suffers from bureaucracy, but public health officials are not shills for Big Pharma; they are dedicated to keeping people safe, and villifying them is a crummy thing to do. They are actual scientists, unlike you.
The guy who claimed the MMR vax causes autism literally lied because he wanted to promote his own alternative, for profit.
It’s not just measles in MMR vaccines. Mumps is dangerous. And I’m old enough to know people harmed by rubella. You can live a full life if you are blinded by rubella in utero, but it’s fantastic to be free from it. I knew several people who’d had polio, then post-polio syndrome later in life; I’m grateful the vaccine came along when I was a kid. Vaccines are a tremendous gift; they genuinely save lives and health, and your bad logic is irresponsible.
MaAr
August 16, 2018 at 4:42 pmYou’re trying hard to sound smart and that you did any extensive research yourself. The “guy” you mentioned, do you even know his name? It’s Dr Andrew Wakefield. And the study had absolutely nothing to do with autism and he was suggesting individual shots rather than combo shots. What was his study about? Why don’t you actually go read it instead of parroting what someone, whom obviously didn’t read the study nor take the time to even research his name, else said by word of mouth. This is how we know you only picked up what benefited your arguments rather than do any real research of your own.
Kay
September 22, 2018 at 7:00 pm*correction he is just Andrew Wakefield. He lost his medical license for his ‘study’ which has now been redacted.
Sam
November 29, 2018 at 4:24 pmCorrection: it was retracted, not redacted.
“And the study had absolutely nothing to do with autism”
Well, yeah, it did.
“Ileal-lymphoid-nodular hyperplasia, non-specific colitis, and pervasive developmental disorder in children”
(Lancet, volume 351, ISSUE 9103, P637-641, February 28, 1998
RETRACTED)
“We identified associated gastrointestinal disease and developmental regression in a group of previously normal children, which was generally associated in time with possible environmental triggers.”
His later comments expanded on the developmental regression and autism theme. Yes, he did make statements about individual shots but it was all under the rubric of preventing autism; the GI disease portion of this became much less important.
Duane Magnuson
March 2, 2019 at 11:07 amNo, not Dr. – he was stripped of his licence yo practice medicine because he lied about the way he did his study, he lied about the results of his study, and he lied about his own financial interest in the results of his study. He is a lying fraud.
Megan Redshaw
March 9, 2019 at 2:56 pmActually … that’s not true. You should read the Lancet retraction and look into the 12 scientists corroborating his research.
Gertzedek
August 16, 2018 at 9:38 pmIt’s not bad logic. Everything on the table was weighed quite well.
Vaccines have a lot of ingredients that are not what you should be putting into your body. It’s an answer to problems that isn’t a good answer, hurts people, and makes good money. You’re buying into it. Which sucks for you. I’m sorry.
If we sat down molecule to molecule and cell to cell, and went through the entire vaccine issue, we would end up running into arguments over existence itself. You would say aluminum is fine, and I’d say no it’s not. We probably wouldn’t get past that point because you don’t want to. You’re not looking for truth, you’re protecting the notion that you have it already. And so is the cdc. And big pharma.
I have no idea what anti vaxxer means. What about pro my healthy body? And anti scientist’s money making schemes? Like no dude. It’s not healthy and you’ll never be able to debate your way out of that fact. Vaccines are definitely an answer to problems but they are a partially successful and very selfish answer. Certain people like you can’t see that. You are not correct and can’t see the issue.
Maria S.
January 31, 2019 at 5:13 amAs a mother who has a child on the autism spectrum and had followed quite a few autism pages as well as knows about 20-30 parents who’s children have autism. Most of our children have or have had IG issues my dear so Andrew Wakefield was definitely correct on his research. There are other doctors that have since then writing books. I suggest you get a copy of “Gut Psycholgy Sybdrome” written by Dr. Nathsha Campbell-McBride MD.
Leilani Logan
August 17, 2018 at 8:48 pmOk for starters the CDC makes billions a year selling vaccines. Ask your elders…a lot of them had measles the same way we had chicken pox. You feel lousey for a week then you’re fine and your immune system is stronger. Shingles doesn’t happen with everyone and you can also get shingles from the vaccine. Fact. It’s also not super serious in normal situations. But one things for sure I was able to pass natural immunity to my daughter .
Sam
November 29, 2018 at 4:07 pmThe CDC does not “make billions a year selling vaccines.”
It’s a federal agency, not a commercial entity, and does not sell vaccines.
JR
January 24, 2019 at 1:02 pmYou’ve got to be joking? Please do some actual research before making such claims. Some of the wealthiest men in the world are the makers of vaccines.https://www.forbes.com/profile/cyrus-poonawalla/#54fce8d37d01
Heather
February 1, 2019 at 1:10 pmThe CDC holds the patents on something like 26 vaccines. And, of course, if you start looking into where their staff come from and where they go, with what kind of contracts, you quickly find out that they have a revolving employment door with the pharmaceutical industry–so much so that they often have trouble coming up with researchers who don’t have conflict of interest problems. They have also been caught trying to hide research results that disagree with their propaganda. This is fraud.
Joanna Mendez
August 18, 2018 at 8:04 amI agree with you 💯 percent they are willing to not get vaccines and it puts our children who do get vaccines at a higher risk for illnesses they put out false information and the people who claim they live organically are blinded by this simply for the fact they neglect to see the many that had mmr and are now greatly effected
SJ
February 1, 2019 at 8:06 amJoanna, How does an unvaxxed child put anyone at risk? They don’t spread diseases they don’t have. If vaccines are so effective, what do you have to fear anyway? The logic here is absolutely flabbergasting.
Derek
February 5, 2019 at 5:35 pmYou are incompetent. Not all children are able to be vaccinated due to getting sick from vaccinations. This often comes from an immunity disorder. These children are the ones put at higher risk. Next, the MMR vaccine does not last forever. Over time it becomes ineffective and this is why children get boosters. Not vaccinating your child is putting children that cannot be vaccinated at higher risk of disease and infection. If this is what you decided to do, keep them out of public school, keep them out of public events, keep them in your home. The statistics are low because of vaccinations. You feeling about vaccinations should not affect people who did not get a choice.

All they do is endlessly come up with completely fabricated nonsense, illogical bs, or outright vitriol. The poster below you, Derek, said this:

Lol! Need I say more? I stopped reading his response immediately after seeing that. Smfh.

January 31, 2019 at 8:55 pmSo…. do you think you’re not at risk of getting the shingles if you had the CP vaccine?! Not only would that person be at risk for getting the shingles but they could also get the CP. You on the other hand only have to have it once….
Anj
February 2, 2019 at 1:33 amOhmy! Maybe you should come and visit us here in the Philippines someday. When I had mumps, I still played outside with my friends who also have mumps. We played alongside each other. And I think we turned out fine, I am 31 yrs old now. I had chickenpox too when I was little, never had the vaccine. My cousine had the chickenpox when she was 21 yrs old, some scars were left but she’s fine. Her kid is already 17 yrs old. I hope you get to see past this comment, you see, we are from a third world country but we pulled through. It isn’t scary. It’ll only be scary if the people getting these illnesses are malnourished. Eat healthy! Stay healthy! 🙂
