The Measles Vaccine

We are told that the measles vaccine is “safe and effective”. But how can we know if it is safer than the risk from measles in a country where it is so rare and in light of the fact that the MMR vaccine currently on the market never underwent randomized placebo-controlled trials comparing health outcomes between vaccinated and unvaccinated children?

And how effective is it, really? One thing we know for sure: it isn’t as effective as natural immunity! And “public health” policymakers perpetually fail to consider natural immunity and other health benefits of surviving measles infection as opportunity costs of vaccination.

In fact, mass vaccination has resulted in a shift in the risk burden, in the event of an outbreak, from school-aged children in whom it is generally well tolerated and onto infants and adults.

Here is a collection of articles related to measles disease and the MMR vaccine that challenge the government-approved misinformation and disinformation.
