If vaccinations are supposed to IMMUNIZE your child against these diseases, why are the vaccinated so concerned? Could it be the dirty little secret that vaccines aren’t really that effective after all? And THAT would mean that the vaccinated are spreading the disease — as has been shown to be the case by Government researchers:
Measles Transmitted By The Vaccinated, Gov. Researchers Confirm
A twice-vaccinated individual, from a NYC measles outbreak, was found to have transmitted measles to four of her contacts, two of which themselves had received two doses of MMR vaccine and had prior presumably protective measles IgG antibody results.

Stop Blaming A Failing Vaccine on Failure to Vaccinate
The moral of the story is that you can’t blame non-vaccinating parents for the morbidity and mortality of infectious diseases when vaccination does not result in immunity and does not keep those who are vaccinated from infecting others. In fact, outbreaks secondary to measles vaccine failure and shedding in up to 99% immunization compliant populations have happened for decades, which you can learn in greater depth by reading our recent review article on the topic: “The Disney Measles Outbreak: A Mousetrap of Ignorance.”
Moreover, these CDC and NYC Bureau of Immunization scientists identified a ‘need’ for there to be “thorough epidemiologic and laboratory investigation of suspected measles cases regardless of vaccination status,” i.e. investigators must rule out vaccine failure and infection by fully infected individuals as contributing to measles outbreaks.
Instead, what’s happening now is that the moment a measles outbreak occurs, a reflexive ‘blame the victim’ attitude is assumed, and the media and/or health agencies report on the outbreak as if it has been proven the afflicted are under or non-vaccinated – often without sufficient evidence to support these claims.
Clearly stakeholders in the vaccine/non-vaccine debate need to look at the situation through the lens of the evidence itself and not science by proclamation or pleas to authority.
Additionally, this wouldn’t be the first time measles broke out among the vaccinated. Lots of people, including the CDC, have apparently forgotten:
CDC – June 22, 1984 — Measles Outbreak among Vaccinated High School Students — Illinois
From December 9, 1983, to January 13, 1984, 21 cases of measles occurred in Sangamon County, Illinois.* Nine of the cases were confirmed serologically. The outbreak involved 16 high school students, all of whom had histories of measles vaccination after 15 months of age documented in their school health records. Of the five remaining cases, four occurred in unvaccinated preschool children, two of whom were under 15 months of age, and one case occurred in a previously vaccinated college student
In light of this (and plenty of other information and evidence) I’d say that at the very least:
- Individuals and the media should stop demonizing the unvaccinated and instead look for the actual facts in these cases;
- Everyone should stop demonizing those who choose, for unbelievably important and valid reasons, to avoid this and other potentially harmful vaccines.
