Cases of Autism Dwarf Risk from Measles
When the number of children who get measles is compared with the number who get autism, and then the relative harm from each is factored in, it becomes obvious that there’s an agenda behind the measles fear mongering. Measles is usually a self-limiting one-time event in life. Autism is life devastated.
by Heidi Stevenson
Here we go again. Fear mongering over measles is in full swing. To listen to the hype from the medical establishment, you’d think it was smallpox, not the relatively mild disease that doesn’t begin to compare with the harm done by the so-called cure for measles, vaccinations. The reality is that the autism epidemic dwarfs the risk of measles in every sense.
First, though, let’s get a sense of the measles hysteria being mounted by seeing what the papers are saying. A 25-year-old man was found dead, and the press was talking about measles before it was known if he’d had it. The Telegraph screams, “Two million children at risk of measles.” The rush is on to blame the unvaccinated—yet none of the reports are telling us if those who come down with measles were vaccinated or not. The WHO’s director for the European region, Zsuzsanna Jakab, says:
Every country in the European region must take the opportunity now to raise coverage amongst susceptible populations, improve surveillance and severely reduce measles virus circulation before the approaching measles high season.
That can be translated as: European countries must start a mandatory vaccination campaign.
Always, the implication is that parents who don’t vaccinate their children are guilty, not only for harm to their own children, but also for putting everyone else at risk. Never are the risks of the vaccinations considered. And there’s a reason for that: If the dangers and likelihood of harm from vaccines were compared with those of measles, the truth would result in widespread resistance to it and other vaccines.
