Michigan state Representative Thomas Hooker (R) claimed that “some statistics indicated more children had died from immunizations than died from measles,” according to a Gongwer News article published in early December.[1] This statement came after Hooker introduced two bills into the Michigan House Committee on Health Policy.

In January 2015, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services issued new rules regarding immunization opt-out procedures. The regulation requires parents who request a nonmedical exemption form to first attend a meeting with a local health department official to discuss the potential risks.[2] House Bill 5127, introduced by Rep. Hooker in December 2015, would reverse this policy. A second bill, HB 5126, would prevent local health departments from restricting non-immunized students from attending school as a “disease control measure” except in cases of an epidemic.[1][3]

Do deaths from v******tion outnumber deaths caused by measles? At first glance the numbers seem to support Representative Hooker's conclusion; since 2000, the U.S. has seen 12 recorded measles deaths and 104 deaths reported after the administration of the measles v*****e. However, in our examination of the data we find several confounding variables that suggest that there is more to the story.

Measles as a cause of death
Two weeks prior to publishing this article, we reached out to Representative Hooker’s office for clarification on what statistics he was referring to. We have not yet received a response, but if we hear back, we will update this article accordingly.

We limited the geographical scope of our examination to the United States. Measles, a highly infectious disease, remains one of the leading causes of death among children worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 114,900 people died of measles in 2014—the majority of which were children under five years old—but none of these deaths were in the United States.[4]

In the National Vital Statistic Reports (NVSR) produced by the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) between 2000 and 2013 (the last year with available data), measles is listed as a cause of death 11 times. Two of these cases were children under the age of four.[5] In 2015, the Washington State Department of Health recorded one measles death.[6] The victim was a 22-year-old woman.[7] However, of the 12 deaths reported, only two are considered verified by the CDC. Ian Branam, a spokesman from the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, clarified in an email:

“ Measles deaths are only counted and considered verified when there is evidence that an acute measles infection was responsible for the death. The last verifiable deaths in the United States from acute measles infection occurred in 2003 when there were two reported deaths.[8][9] ”
Immunization and deaths
What about the second part of Rep. Hooker’s claim regarding deaths caused by v******tion?

The V*****e A*****e E***t Reporting System (V***S), a national database jointly run by the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), provides information about possible side effects that occur after v******tion.[10] From January 2000 to December 2015, 104 deaths were reported to V***S following the administration of one of the four measles v*****es. However, there are several variables that affect the interpretation of this data.

First, V***S is a self-reporting system. This means that anyone—doctors, patients, family—can file a report, even if the event is not verified. As such, there is a high opportunity for reporting errors and information bias in the data. Second, V***S does not establish a causal relationship between v******tion and the a*****e e***t. A disclaimer on the V***S website reads:

“ When evaluating data from V***S, it is important to note that for any reported event, no cause-and-effect relationship has been established. Reports of all possible associations between v*****es and a*****e e***ts (possible side effects) are filed in V***S. Therefore, V***S collects data on any a*****e e***t following v******tion, be it coincidental or truly caused by a v*****e. The report of an a*****e e***t to V***S is not documentation that a v*****e caused the event.[11][9] ”
In other words, a reported event is not proof that the v*****e was the cause of death. Instead, a report is simply a claim that death occurred sometime after v******tion. Given these constraints on the data, we are unable to meaningfully compare the V***S reported deaths to the number of deaths caused by measles recorded by the CDC.

Mortality rates pre- and post-immunization
Hooker’s claim does not address the correlation between immunization and the decline in measles cases and deaths.

Measles k**led an estimated 2.6 million people worldwide each year before v******tion was widespread, according to the World Health Organization. In 2014, with approximately 85 percent of children worldwide v******ted with the first dose, an estimated 114,900 people died from measles.[4] The trend is similar for the United States. In the decade prior the measles v*****e becoming available in 1963, the disease caused an estimated 440 deaths annually.[12] In 1965, two years after the introduction of the v*****e, 267 measles deaths were reported. The number dropped to 20 in 1975, and in 1985, with approximately 97 percent of the U.S. population v******ted, only four measles deaths were reported.[13][14][15]

A decade and a half after the CDC declared the measles v***s effectively eliminated in the United States, measles seems to be making a comeback.[16] In 2014, the CDC recorded 667 instances of measles, the highest number since 1994 when 958 cases were reported.[17][18] This resurgence, according to the CDC, is linked to stagnating v******tion rates. Since 2000, annual national childhood immunization rates have remained between 90 and 93 percent; however, these rates vary significantly across states and localities.[19][20] At the center of this matter is the concept of community (or "herd") immunity, a protective effect that interrupts the t***smission of the disease to vulnerable people. However, the success of this effect is dependent upon high immunization rates through infection or v******tion.[21] In other words, when v******tion rates drop, the opportunity for outbreak increases.

Conclusion
State Representative Thomas Hooker was cited as saying that “some statistics indicated more children had died from immunizations than died from measles.” Outwardly, the numbers substantiate Hooker's claim. According to the CDC there have been only two verifiable deaths from acute measles infection since 2000. During this same time period, there have been 104 reported cases of death after v******tion for measles. However, the numbers do not tell the whole story. Due to the self-reporting nature of the V***S reporting system, no cause-and-effect relationship can be established between the measles v*****e and the subsequent reported deaths. Additionally, Hooker's claim does not account for the decline in measles deaths associated with v******tion rates.

Questions:

If v*****es aren't effective, why have overall worldwide deaths from these diseases that we v******te against dropped worldwide AFTER we started actively v******ting against them? (Primarily in the v******tion zones)

Why are the reported cases of these diseases so rare in v******tion zones as compared to in un-v******ted zones?

Supposing that people HAVE actually died as a result of being v******ted (deaths have occurred AFTER a v******tion but none have been confirmed to have been a direct result of being v******ted), which is worse, a greater number of deaths due to a disease that we can v******te against or a lesser number of deaths that may or may not be related to the actual v*****e?

CSM - Frankly I don't have the time nor do I feel the need to get into a pissing contest with you. If it make you feel better to get your flu, tetanus, hepatitis A & B, shingles, HPV, HIB, RB1 & 5, MMR, etc., be my guest. If you think taking the toxic adjuvants of Mercury (Thimerosal or Thiomersal), Aluminum, Human Diploid Cells (Aborted Fetuses), Animal Cells, MSG (Monosodium Glutamate), Formaldehyde, Squalene, and the large number of other ingredients* contained in v*****es directly into your bloodstream is desirable or necessary for your improved health, be my guest. It's your life.

If you believe that v*****e makers who have been given immunity from lawsuits and deaths caused by their own products leads to a better and safer product, and stringent testing, then continue with your v*****e shots.

If you believe that rationalwiki.org is an unbiased source of facts and information, and wish to rely upon their opinion rather than doing your own independent research, then by all means do so. But according to Quora.com, “…RationalWiki is not an encyclopedia, nor is it a primary source. Rather, it is a group blog… As it is a group blog/wiki, RationalWiki fails Wikipedia’s reliable source policy.”

And “…the articles are written in extremely oversimplified language that is intended to preach to the stupid (this might be beneficial because a lot of people don’t think too hard), which oftentimes leads to the misuse of certain terminology for emotional effects. They also unfortunately have a policy called snarky point of view, in which the articles generally are supposed to be written in the most snarky tone possible. This at times leads to a deterioration of quality.”

Did you even read the the B****tpedia link you cited? Here is their conclusion section:

"Conclusion

NOTE: Hooker and others have pointed out that the decline in Measles deaths has occurred as a result of improved living and heath standards, and began to decline even before the introduction of the MMR v*****e.

I would like to suggest that the very, VERY, profitable pharmaceutical industry, with it's many lobbyists, and VERY, VERY, generous contributions to politicians, plus paid commercials to the MSM outlets may account for very successful propaganda effort in convincing people that v*****es are safe.

But hey, don't believe me. Do your own research. You may want to start here:

Dissolving Illusions About the Measles V*****e - https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/03/24/dissolving-illusions-measles-v*****e.aspx

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

-CDC reports that no one in the US has died of measles in the last 12 years. Meanwhile, 98 measles v*****e related deaths were reported to the US government since 2003.

- During that time period, 694 measles v*****e-related disabilities were reported to the V*****e Adverse Reporting System (V***S).

-Child mortality due to measles is 200 to 400 times greater in malnourished children in less developed countries than those in developed ones; as nutrition improves, complications and deaths radically diminish.

Individuals with Measles V*****e Found to Spread Disease

US measles "outbreak" has slowed down, but the v******tion debate still continues as parents attack one another about their beliefs.


* Other Toxic V*****e Adjuvants and Ingredients
In addition the above top 10 toxic v*****e adjuvants and ingredients, it would also be wise to take note of many other possible v*****e fillers, which include:

• acetone (solvent used in fingernail polish remover)
• ammonium sulfate
• amphotericin B
• betapropiolactone
• formalin
• gelatin
• glycerol
• hydrolized gelatin
• phenol red indicator
• phenoxyethanol (antifreeze)
• potassium diphosph**e
• potassium monophosph**e
• polymyxin B
• polysorbate 20
• polysorbate 80
• residual MRC5 proteins
• sorbitol
• streptomycin (antibiotic)
• tri(n)butylphosph**e (neurotoxin)

There's more to it than simply v******ting. Malnutrition has a lot to do with it. There are numerous articles about it.

"In the developing world, epidemiologic factors associated with severe measles include younger age, overcrowding, poor access to care, pre-existing medical conditions, and malnutrition. Because these factors frequently coexist in the developing world, the relative contribution of each to measles morbidity is unclear. However, malnutrition has been implicated most markedly and repeatedly."

Why? Because they are afraid and they place too much trust in institutions that have failed us time and time again. Not everything is disinformation and propaganda but people don't think. They let google think for them instead. We've had disinformation and propaganda thrown at us from our own government many times but still...people. don't. think.

A lot of us got sick from some of the required v*****es before going overseas. And these weren't shots for serious diseases.

Big pharma is about profits first. That's one reason drug prices are astronomical - the drug lobby pushes to keep them that way. Yet people trust them even though they work against us and so many drugs now have crazy side effects. They will bend over backwards to do defend them.

Look how easily it is to get people scared. Far more die from the flu than measles but people don't get hysterical over the flu.

3. How accurate is surveillance of a*****e e***ts from the MMR v*****e?
The government tracks reported cases of v*****e side effects through the V*****e A*****e E***t Reporting System (V***S). Approximately 40 cases of death and permanent injury from the MMR v*****e are reported to V***S annually.5 However, V***S is a passive reporting system—authorities do not actively search for cases and do not actively remind doctors and the public to report cases. These limitations can lead to significant underreporting.6 The CDC states, “V***S receives reports for only a small fraction of actual a*****e e***ts.”7 Indeed, as few as 1% of serious side effects from medical products are reported to passive surveillance systems,8 and as few as 1.6% of MMR-related seizures are reported to V***S.9 In addition, V***S reports are not proof that a side effect occurred, as the system is not designed to thoroughly investigate all cases.10 As a result, V***S does not provide an accurate count of MMR v*****e side effects.
