WHAT’S REALLY BEHIND THE CURRENT MEASLES OUTBREAK?

Tedd Koren, DC

In this nation of over 300 million, a little over a hundred cases of measles have been reported with no deaths. Some

epidemic. Why is everyone so concerned?

How many epidemic scares have we seen in the past few years? Both swine flu scares, SARS, bird flu, H1N1 flu, the Ebola

scare and wasn’t heterosexual AIDS predicted to wipe out a quarter of the earth’s population? And this is only a partial list! As

George Carlin once said, “Americans panic easily.”

But who can blame us when the “experts” say terrible things are going to happen and the media doesn’t give the other side

of a story? The media merely parrots the official medical party line and even ignores and mocks those with opposing views.

The fact that they’ve been wrong every time doesn’t matter; people still freak out when told, “It’s coming and it’s gonna be

bad this time.”

What exactly is measles?

Measles is a short-lived viral infection that begins with a fever that lasts for a couple of days, followed by a cough, runny nose

and conjunctivitis (pink eye). A rash starts on the face, hairline and upper neck, spreads down the back and trunk, and

extends to the extremities. After about 5 days, the rash fades.

How dangerous is measles?

Measles is a mild and harmless disease that leaves a stronger, healthier child in its wake; most adults today who were

born before 1965 got measles and have lifelong immunity as a result. Serious problems from measles are very, very rare.

This, by the way, was standard medical policy; measles was just a rite of passage. It changed when the measles vaccine

came on the market in the 1960s. Suddenly this mild, beneficial rite of passage became a deadly disease.

Some MDs still don’t buy the hype. As Jay Gordon, MD, former UCLA Medical Center pediatrician recently said:

This measles outbreak does not pose a great risk to a healthy child and quite frankly I don't think it poses any risk to a

healthy child.

Doctor explains why he lets kids avoid the measles vaccine. http://vaccineimpact.com/2015/ucla-medical-center-
