Let's look at some of the modern day public health propaganda, if you will, reporting, whatever we're going to call it. A lot of people have written in, a lot of parents have written in, ask us to really look at this stories. We're going to do a deep dive in the most recent measles scare that the media is drumming up. And if you haven't seen it, it looks like this. It's making headlines around the world. The highly contagious measles virus is seeing a resurgence. Health leaders at both the local and national level are warning of a recent uptick in what they can. consider to be a preventable disease. There's a new health alert from the CDC about the rising

number of measles cases around the country. So far this year, there have been 58 confirmed cases across 17 states. That's equal to the total number of cases we saw in all of last year. Three of those cases, we know we're right here in Minnesota. The Florida Department of Health has reported 10 measles cases, nine in Broward County and one in Polk. Most doctors agree the spread is being fueled by low vaccination rates, especially among young children. many of whom stopped getting the shots during the COVID outbreak and never got back on schedule. The rate of immunization among kindergartners is starting to drop, and it's not surprising that this is the disease you see because this is the most contagious

of the vaccine preventable diseases. There we are. Big, you know, the media loves a measles outbreak. They sure do. And you remember back in 2019, the high wire was on the ground in Rockland County for the last measles outbreak, we were trying to really show what was happening. And this was when the mayor of Rockland County basically said that unvaccinated children, they had emergency order. This was the headline here. Unvaccinated children banned from public health spaces amid measles outbreak in New York suburb.

That meant they can't go to religious practices either. So they were banned. There was a curfew. I mean, we saw a curfew of Jewish people in Rockland County, New York. They're found on the street without vaccination. They, you know, they could get a fine. They weren't allowed, as you said, in synagogues during Passover. I, you know, I started some controversy.

That was the moment I stood in a public actually here in Texas and pinned a yellow star to my jacket. This has always been misrepresented that I was saying that the Yellow Star represented the vaccine program or the, you know, forced vaccine. It wasn't. I was making a statement about the curfew that was issued that they weren't allowed to walk down the street in the United States of America. that they weren't allowed to practice their religion, talking about the Hasidic Jewish community, weren't allowed in their temples during Passover. That, to me, seemed like a dangerous precedent.

That is what I was protesting against. And I said, I stand with you, that this should never have happened in the United States of America. Yeah, it was way over the line. And, you know, it didn't take long for this headline here, just about a week later. Judge Lifts, Rockland's Measles Emergency Order, banning on vaccinated children from public spaces.

That was CBS. And so that was overturned, fairly quickly. It was kind of a blemish on the public health there. But now let's look at the current measles cases. Let's go right to the CDC because again, we're being told this is an alert. This is an outbreak. We really should be scared. And so the CDC's own website, number of measles cases reported by week. This is from 2023 to current. And you can see there, it looks like there may be an issue, you know. We have cases going up a little bit. Oh, my gosh. All right. Right. You know, still 14 cases at the peak there in February.

But now let's take that, let's take this entire chart you're looking at and embed that in the last 20 years. And look, look what we're dealing with here. So there's a chart embedded there. There's that little blip on the right. That's a chart we just looked at. Now look at the rest since 2000. Not much is going on. Right.

There's not much going on. So the current CDC numbers show 64 measles cases. That's the most recent they have. But I want to pivot here for a second. And I want to show the work that I can and the high wire does on vaccine. on vaccine reporting, which is then used in real-time litigation to influence court cases. So portions of what I'm reporting here are about to report here was used in order to restore the religious exemption from Mississippi school children that we celebrated here in an ICANN newsletter.

And so let's look at some of the documents here that were submitted by our attorneys to the judge in that case. And this is the first one here. This is the CDC Vital Statistics. This is a 1968 doc produced by the National Center for Health Statistics. And in here, it has a chart of the death rates for measles. Now, this is a really important chart. It tells an amazing story from 1900 to 1960. You have the death rate for measles per 100,000 population. You can see something there. By the way, the measles of vaccine didn't come in and was licensed until 1963. So this is before the vaccine, before any shots went into an arm for measles. You see a, what they call precipitous, declares to

line. And this is obviously, as we know, sanitation, better nutrition, improvements in all those areas. I want to look at that scale because I've never, it always looks really scary and like, oh my God, we really overcame something. But can we bring it back? Because I just for the first time really looked at that left column. And though it looks scary, you get the sense that there's like millions of people. Did you just say that this is basically per 100,000? So at the really extreme high there, we're talking about 13 people per 100,000. So though that, you know, is alarming, I think that graph feels like millions when it's just really not. You're just talking about saying at the worst case scenario, this virus used to kill up to 13 people per 100,000.

But by 1960 was down to just this side of zero. Right. And also to note, before there was a vaccine, right? Go ahead. Yeah. Before the Bezels, mass vaccination program was a new. introduce. Think about this. Nearly everyone contracted measles and obtained lifetime immunity by about 15 years of age. So we know measles is a self-limiting childhood viral infection. And most of the

cases are benign. They're not even reported to public health departments. So that's really, it's important to couch this conversation in. But now let's bring it to the vaccine because as you saw from that report of all the reporting of the current fearmongering by the media, it's because of unvaccinated kids. this is happening? Well, let's look at this vaccine. Let's look at the safety of this vaccine. So through Freedom of Information Act requests, ICANN has obtained the documents and the studies relied upon to license the MMR2 vaccine in 1978. This is what the FDA looked at. And so let's look at these clinical trials and let's look at how robust they were. So again, they, this was what they relied upon to vaccinate all children in the U.S., Max vaccination

Vaccination Program, 834 children vaccinated. That's how many they use. That's the whole study. That's the size of the study. That's the size of the study. So you're obviously not statistically powered. You're going to miss a ton of rare issues. And so let's look at how long they followed these kids for safety issues.

It says each child will be followed clinically for 42 days following vaccination. All local and systemic complaints will be recorded on the case report form. So day 43 something happens. We're not going to record that on the clinical form. And, you know, people watching this, as you know, has. a lot of people have woken up to during COVID that the public is the final stage of safety testing. We need to pass the vaccine in order to see what's wrong. And let's be clear. I just want to point out, because we go through this and people, I know we can

glaze over a little bit, 42 days was the length of the follow-up of this safety trial. There's almost not a drug that your grandparents take that would ever have a trial that short. So many of these trials are six years long. Let's see what the long-term health outcomes are. And we're talking about a product that's manipulating your immune system. So if there's going to be an issue, the most likely issue is an autoimmune dysfunction, that it throws the regulation of your immune system off. That's what it's designed to do. But what if it makes a permanent mistake?

You're not going to see that in 42 days. You're going to see that about a year or two. We know that. And as we've pointed out, this is just another piece of evidence. We've never had a study of the childhood vaccines where we had a placebo group that went through, you know, two to six years. They don't exist. This is just another one. 42 days. What do you expect to see if your immune system has been messed with by this product? There's no way to see it. Unfortunately, not all is lost because as it rolls out to the public, after licensure,

there is federal law that requires that the package insert for this vaccine, the MMR vaccine, it lists the adverse events. We'll take a look at this. So they have to, by federal law, list the adverse events for which there is some basis to believe there is a causal relationship between the vaccine and the occurrence of an adverse event. So let's look at what they have to list here. Looking at this, well, you see Guillamberet syndrome, you see transverse myelitis, pneumonia. I mean, you can go down there. They have... Encephalitis swelling in the brain, that's the big one right there. When you think about that, because autism would be the result of your brain swelling as a child after getting this vaccine. I've said it before. A mother once

came up to me and said back, see this didn't cause my child's autism. It caused the brain swelling, the encephalopathy event that resulted in a symptom we now call autism. That is how people need to understand it. And there it is still written right there in the package insert, meaning some people, some children are going to have this reaction from this product. But the government wants to tell us they don't matter. They don't count. Let them die. Let them be handicapped. Let them have whatever issues they have, we're going full speed ahead and we're never going to investigate that group, which is what Bernadine Healy so clearly put out. I was shocked to find there was not a single study that looked at the children that had been injured. That's a mind-blowing statement

to make publicly. Right. And there also has not been studies, as you know, about what children would be susceptible to these type of harm. But that's beside the point at this point. So we have the Cochrane collaboration of very well-respected institutions. looking at the measles, mumps, and rebella vaccine in children. They did a meta-analysis. He looked at 64 trials and studies involving just over 14 million children, and the authors concluded this, quote, the design and reporting of safety outcomes in MMR vaccine studies,

both pre and post-marketing, are largely inadequate. The evidence of adverse events following immunization with the MMR vaccine cannot be separated from its role in preventing the target diseases. Even the CDC's own vaccine information statement, that was on their website, shows this when you look at it under MMR vaccines. They listed under the problem type, moderate, severe. You can see it under moderate, seizures, one in every 3,000 doses, temporary pain and stiffness and joints, one out of four people.

But then you go down to severe problems. It says serious neurologic reaction, less than one out of a million, deafness, long-term seizures, coma, lower consciousness, permanent brain damage. That's actually on this vaccine information statement. So obviously there's a lot of questions for a self-limiting childhood disease that's mostly benign. Right. Parents have this scale that they have to weigh when they see the media kind of over-exaggerating

the fear reporting on this of just 64 cases in the entire United States. Yeah. This is what they have to look at too. And then we're going to finish this off with just putting everything in perspective. Physicians for informed consent, this is picked. They have a measles mortality chart just to put it all in perspective. And they look at the death rate. This is measles mortality versus the leading causes of death in children under the age of 10 per 100,000. Now, interestingly, there's some nuance here. It's very important. They say pre-vaccine measles. So again, this was that chart we saw early on.

They're choosing before the vaccine even came in, before all the sanitation was great. All of this stuff was happening. They said, 0.9 per 100,000. Now, that's a small number compared to homicides, cancer. Sudden infant, death. Death syndrome, SIDS there, unintentional injury, accidents, drownings, balls, genital abnormalities, or anomalies. And then at the bottom there, they have the MMR vaccine. And of course, it says insufficient data available, which is very, very astute by picked, put this there. But that's really what we're dealing with as far as a danger continuum with this measles outbreak that's currently happening or one that may happen in the future. Amazing reporting, Jeffrey, just spectacular, looking at the powerful women there, Dr. Eddie and of course, Bernadine Healy and Mary Tyler Bowden.

I mean, we're just, it's, you know, and there's so many more we could talk about. But thank you for doing that great investigation. As always, I'll see you next week. Absolutely. Thank you. All right. Take care. All right. I actually want to just cover this measles issue because I've been in many headlines around it. I've even heard myself mentioned on a few news programs lately, but this was in the Washington Post,

anti-baks of target communities battling measles. There was photos of me going there. I was talking to the press in the middle of that outbreak. But I was sharing something there that I really want to share with you. Because when we think about the measles outbreak, let's go ahead and go over here to our board here to get a better understanding of this. One of the biggest outbreaks in my lifetime, really,

but certainly in the last several decades was the 2014-2015 Disneyland outbreak. This was what was used to push SB 277, which passed in California, taking the religious exemption away. So there was no way to exempt out of the vaccine program. They said this would stop a Disneyland outbreak from happening because it's the unvaccinated children, this tiny group of maybe 3 to 5 percent of unvaccinated children in California, caused this outbreak. The headlines were relentless. They never stopped just as they're saying. Now it's the unvaccinated. But here's the thing. This is the actual data coming from the California Department of Public Health. This is their data. Not mine. This is not my opinion. Why do we look

at some of the things that they discovered when they actually did the investigation of the cases in this outbreak? What you will find is aged distribution and hospitalization status of California measles outbreak cases. Remember, it's the the unvaccinated kids that caused this. Only one problem is we discovered that a majority of the cases were adults. Over 53% were adults that were involved in this. And frankly, those that were, you know, super young were a tiny part of this. But adults, it wasn't kids, the 53%.

But it gets even more interesting when we look at the breakdown. We see that 82 or 60% cases, had immunization status verified. They were able to verify in these cases whether they've been vaccinated enough. And what we find is that 31% of them were vaccinated. 31%. That's a gigantic failure rate for something that said

is safe and effective and 95% effective. Again, we're back to this issue. 31% of the cases were vaccine failure. But guess what? It actually is probably much worse than that because there's this group. 38% of that's 49 people. Of them, 48 were adults.

And what they found is they didn't know their immunization status. 20 of them said that I'm pretty sure I was vaccinated, but they didn't have the records. And the others just didn't know, didn't remember. It's like who what kid remembers getting the vaccines and which ones they got. We have to assume in the United States of America that 49, almost all of them should have been vaccinated. So that means the vaccine failure rate is not 30. percent, it's somewhere between 60 and 70 percent of the cases in this outbreak were vaccinated. Not unvaccinated.

That means they were shedding on each other. They were shedding on family members. They were putting, you know, immune-suppressed people at risk. That's the facts. We're looking at it right here, not my opinion. And then lastly, one of the most fascinating things about this investigation done by the California Department of Public Health was when they looked at the strain of measles. Was this a wild type measles? Or was there a possibility of the vaccine caused the measles?

Look at this. 73 specimens were genotype B3 outbreak strain, but 31 were genotype A, vaccine strain from recently vaccinated persons. So 30% of the cases were vaccine strain measles caused by the vaccine itself. So the headlines are screaming at you. It's the unvaccinated children that are causing this, but we now know somewhere between 60 and 70% most likely of those that were infected with measles had the vaccine, and 30% got it from the vaccine. I'm sorry, that's a wrap, mic drop to anyone that wants to argue with me about the facts as the California Department of Public Health lays it out.
