MMR Vaccine-Linked Deaths Outnumber Measles Deaths in 2026

So far in 2026, there have been ZERO confirmed measles deaths and at least THREE MMR vaccine-linked deaths in the United States.

Yet Americans hear virtually nothing about deaths occurring after MMR vaccination. Instead, the captured mass media blasted out headlines claiming that two children in Pennsylvania had died from measles—claims that have since fallen apart under scrutiny. Meanwhile, three highly concerning MMR-linked deaths have already appeared in VAERS this year:

2026 U.S. MMR VACCINE DEATH REPORTS (VAERS): 3

1-year-old boy: fatal cardiac arrest just ONE DAY after MMR

The first case involves a 1-year-old boy who suffered fatal cardiac arrest just one day after receiving MMR. The extraordinarily short interval makes the report impossible to simply dismiss as some distant event occurring long after vaccination. Along with MMR, he was also subjected to a battery of four additional vaccines—Varivax, Havrix, Vaxelis, and Prevnar 20—for five vaccines total at the same visit. The child was hyper-vaccinated and died the following day.

1-year-old girl: died from disseminated rubella after MMR

The second case is even more biologically concerning. A 1-year-old girl died from disseminated rubella after receiving MMR. She reportedly had an undiagnosed primary immunodeficiency when she was vaccinated.

This matters because MMR does not contain an inert rubella antigen. It contains a live attenuated rubella virus designed to replicate in a controlled manner and generate immunity. In a person with severe immune dysfunction, however, the immune system can fail to adequately contain or eliminate the attenuated virus. Instead of remaining limited, vaccine-strain virus can persist and disseminate into tissues throughout the body leading to multi-organ failure.

76-year-old woman: vaccine-strain measles detected during fatal pneumonia

The third case may be the most remarkable of all. A 76-year-old woman developed measles vaccine-associated pneumonia after receiving MMR, progressed to severe respiratory failure, and died after a 16-day hospitalization.

Critically, vaccine-strain measles was detected in her respiratory tract, including pulmonary samples. In other words, this was not simply a patient who happened to test positive for measles after vaccination. Molecular testing identified the vaccine strain itself.

The measles component of MMR is also a live attenuated virus. In immunocompromised individuals, the weakened virus can escape normal immune control, continue replicating, and produce serious systemic disease. When that process involves the lungs, it can produce measles pneumonitis or pneumonia, impair oxygen exchange, and progress to respiratory failure.

2026 U.S. MEASLES DEATHS: 0

Now contrast those three reports with what happened in Pennsylvania.

US Army doctor claims 28 troops died from Covid vaccines – Politico

A US Army doctor has testified that she knows of 28 US military deaths caused by Covid-19 vaccines, Politico has reported citing a court deposition. The US government is investigating 2,544 deaths reported following the jabs, the official has said.

Theresa Long, who also serves as an adviser to US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., reportedly gave the testimony during an August 14 deposition in a federal court case in Virginia. Neither her testimony nor her role at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) had previously been reported.

Long allegedly said that the 2,544 unverified deaths were reported to the department’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

Former US President Joe Biden ordered all US military staff to be vaccinated or be discharged from service, resulting in over 9,000 dismissals. After returning to office, President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to offer reinstatement to those who had been discharged for refusing a vaccine.

RESIGN: Democrat Josh Shapiro Still Refuses to Answer Basic Questions on Two So-Called Measles Deaths — Second Person Still Unkown

Pennsylvania Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro is still refusing to provide the public with basic information about two deaths his administration labeled “measles-associated,” even after the Lancaster County coroner determined that one of the individuals, a newborn baby, died from a ruptured spleen and massive blood loss, not measles.

During a Friday press conference, a reporter confronted Shapiro directly about the serious discrepancy between his administration’s explosive announcement and the findings of Lancaster County Coroner Dr. Stephen Diamantoni.

“Since you had your news conference in Lancaster, we’ve learned a little bit more information about the case with the baby—that it was a newborn,” the reporter said.

“The coroner said that it was a ruptured spleen and didn’t consider it a measles death,” she continued. “Given the fact that we’re in an environment where there is misinformation and there is confusion, why not be a little more specific and transparent about that case?”

Shapiro would not answer. He waved the question off as if Pennsylvanians were not entitled to know whether their governor just stood in a hospital and used a dead infant as a political prop.

The Democrat governor dismissed the growing demands for transparency as “conspiracy theories.”

“I don’t think it serves the interest of public health or slows the spread of this outbreak for me to get into a back-and-forth about conspiracy theories that are showing up online,” Shapiro said.

Does the Flu Vaccine Prevent Death?

Dear Editor,

My letter is concerned with a topic of utmost importance: The effect of the flu vaccine on flu-related death. That’s the ultimate endpoint of interest for vaccine effectiveness (VE) research, yet it is not captured in most studies that employ the test-negative design.

Faksova et al. (January 2026) reported in your journal results from a large cohort study of the flu vaccine in 2024–2025 in elderly residents (age≥65) of three Nordic countries. The estimated VE against flu-related death was 63%, which corresponds to a risk ratio (RR) of 0.37. How robust is the result? What does sensitivity analysis show?

The authors relied on a matched design to avoid confounding bias, a major threat in observational research. Unvaccinated members of the cohort were matched to the vaccinated (one-to-one matching) on several variables, including key comorbidities.

Sweden was not included in the mortality analysis (small numbers), and the mortality graphs were displayed by country (Denmark, Finland). I will examine the data from Denmark, a matched cohort of over one million people.

Graphs of cumulative mortality by vaccination status were displayed as of 14 days after a matched index date. For a vaccinated person, the index date was the vaccination date; for their unvaccinated counterpart, that matched date was just a random date on the calendar. I will return to this point later when we discuss their health status.

New Zealand: Deaths up, fertility down; is this the legacy of covid “vaccines”?

The births and deaths figures for the year ended June 2026 have just been released by StatsNZ. Compared to the previous year: 

  • Births were down 3.6% 
  • Deaths were up 1.9% 
  • Fertility per woman was down 3.8% 
  • Infant mortality was up by 2.7%, although this last statistic was inflated to some extent by late registrations. 

The rate of deaths per thousand population had been declining since a peak of 7.59 in 2022, falling to 7.02 in 2025. The 2026 figures reversed this trend with a rise to 7.10. This compares to the 2015 – 2019 average of 6.84, meaning that deaths are currently running at 3.8% above pre-pandemic levels. This equates to an additional 1,411 deaths in the year to June 2026, which would not have been expected if pre-pandemic trends had continued.

The New Zealand (“NZ”) fertility rate has been declining every year since 2008 and is now at a historic low. The 2026 figures are 28% below levels necessary to maintain a population. Despite this, the NZ population is continuing to grow as a result of net immigration.

The most concerning figure in the latest data is therefore the upward movement in the rate of mortality. This increase in levels of excess mortality is very concerning. Although the 2026 rise does not yet amount to a trend, it should be a red flag. It points to a drop in the underlying level of immunity which is affecting the whole population.

In this light, it remains disturbing that Health NZ are not closely investigating the possible causes. A comparison of health outcomes of the covid-vaccinated with the unvaccinated is long overdue. Studies published overseas which we have covered have pointed to differences in rates of cancer and cardiac problems, for example. These have disproportionately affected younger age groups.

RCR has produced a comprehensive report showing that 311,257 NZ teens were exposed to an elevated risk of myocarditis from covid injections despite the government having been warned of this risk before rolling out vaccination for this age group. We have previously reported high levels of chest pain presentations for under 40s at emergency departments. Prior to the pandemic, it was recognised in the literature that there is a five-year elevated risk of complications following a myocarditis diagnosis. Five years have now passed since these injections. Health NZ should be following up and producing a very detailed picture of cardiac health outcomes as a precautionary measure. 

A great many published studies have focused on investigating an immune deficit following covid vaccination. Since the year-to-June figures were compiled, more evidence of a health deficit in NZ has emerged. You must have read about the depth of the current flu and winter illness seasonal health crisis. Hospitals are overwhelmed as never before.

On 15 August the NZ Herald reported ‘Middlemore Hospital hits ‘terrifying’ record as paramedics treat patients in corridors’. In one 24-hour period nearly 500 patients presented to the emergency department at Middlemore, beating the previous record of 280. 

According to Stuff newspaper, the St John ambulance service activated its major incident response and emergency operations centre after a week of sustained exceptional demand culminated in its busiest day on record.

This week Stuff headlined ‘Flu wards set up, elective surgery cancelled as hospital admissions surge’. The NZ Herald reported high rates of student absences due to sickness and parents unable to cope at home. The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners has asked practices nationwide to reinstate some covid-era infection controls, including phone-first triage and separating patients with respiratory symptoms.

Without a detailed investigation of the causes of the higher levels of sickness among the general population broken down by age, vaccination status and disease type, it is not possible for Health NZ to understand and respond appropriately to the current health crisis. A task force should be set up to undertake this analysis as a precautionary priority and make their findings public. This will inform and potentially reassure the public by determining how much of this effect is due to covid infection and how much to vaccination or other factors.

Sanofi Didn’t Follow Protocol for Clinical Trial in Which Infant Died

Sanofi shut down its RSV vaccine trial for infants and toddlers in 2024 after a baby died. It was later determined that the baby had an underlying congenital heart defect, which should have disqualified the infant from participating in the trial.

Now, a newly obtained letter shows the company paused the trial “to re-educate all participating sites and investigators” on the criteria they should use to judge who should or shouldn’t be allowed to participate in the trial, and to “reiterate the need to assess for chronic illnesses” that would make an infant or toddler ineligible to participate in a clinical trial.

The letter — obtained through a Freedom of Information (FOI) request by British general practitioner and RSV vaccine expert Dr. Peter Selley — sheds new light on the infant death and trial pause first reported by The Defender.

The infant’s death constituted a “serious adverse event” that triggered the halt.

A Sanofi spokesperson last month confirmed the death and told The Defender that the baby had underlying congenital heart disease. The company’s analysis — supported by the independent data monitoring committee — the spokesperson said, concluded the experimental vaccine was not the “underlying cause of the event.”

Research published in the Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal indicates that most children who die from respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, have comorbidities such as congenital heart or lung disease.

Congenital disorders should have excluded babies from the study, and participants should have been assessed for preexisting conditions, according to the clinical trial’s exclusion criteria.

“Given that they stopped the trial to ‘re-educate’ investigators about inclusion and exclusion criteria, it suggests that the trial protocol was not being followed in at least one of the trial sites,” Selley told The Defender.

Sanofi told The Defender that when the infant with an undiagnosed underlying heart condition died after receiving the experimental vaccine, the company proactively informed and worked closely with the independent data monitoring committee (IDMC) and health authorities to address the issue.

He said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) put the trial on a clinical hold and the company worked “to amend the Phase 3 protocol, adjust and clarify screening procedures and inclusion criteria, and re-educate all participating sites and investigators.”

30 Dead, 17 Fatal Crashes, and a Judge Tells DHS to Wait

Thirty people were killed in 17 crashes in 2025 involving what the left’s dictionary calls “non-domiciled commercial drivers” who, under the Trump administration’s current rule, would no longer qualify for those licenses.

The issue isn’t foreign CDL drivers; plenty of lawful immigrants and foreign-born drivers safely operate commercial trucks daily. The issue is whether somebody who can’t adequately read road signs, understand warnings, communicate with police, or follow instructions in English should be behind the wheel of an 80,000-pound commercial vehicle on an American highway.

That’s a safety standard, not a nationality test.

When crashes expose drivers who apparently couldn’t meet that basic standard, the question becomes unavoidable: Who licensed them, who failed to catch it, and why were they still on the road?

Senior U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga put DHS’s access to roughly 17 million commercial driver records on hold Friday. His administrative stay is temporary, and he hasn’t ruled the subpoena unlawful. 

DHS must file its opposition Monday, the states reply Wednesday, and Trenga has scheduled a hearing for Thursday.

DHS wants five years of records from the Commercial Driver’s License Information System, including names, birth dates, license numbers, states of record, and Social Security numbers. The subpoena says the information would be used to investigate illegal practices at CDL schools, criminal fraud involving CDLs issued to illegal aliens, and civil immigration enforcement.

Nearly Half Of NYC Homeless Deaths Due To Drugs Or Alcohol: Study

Nearly half of all deaths among New York City’s homeless population in the most recent fiscal year were connected to drug use or alcohol abuse, according to a new city report.

Of the 634 people experiencing homelessness who died between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025, 285 lost their lives to drug addiction, overdoses, or alcoholism. The figures come from the annual mortality report jointly issued by the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Department of Social Services/Homeless Services.

Drug-related causes alone accounted for 251 deaths, or 40 percent of the total – still the leading cause of death among this population. Alcohol misuse or dependence contributed another 34 deaths (5 percent). Together, substance-related deaths made up roughly 45 percent of the total, the NY Post reports.

The report covers deaths that occurred in temporary shelters, on the streets, in the subway system, in abandoned buildings, and in other locations. Fifty-two percent of those who died were classified as unsheltered; 48 percent were living in a homeless facility at the time of death. Most (58 percent) died in a hospital. Among unsheltered individuals, 22 percent died outdoors.

Other leading causes of death included heart disease (78 deaths, 12 percent), accidents excluding drug overdoses (60 deaths, 9 percent), and cancer (23 deaths, 4 percent). Additional figures included 18 suicides, 15 deaths from hypothermia or cold exposure, 15 subway-related accidents, 14 motor-vehicle accidents, and 11 homicides. A small number of deaths involved toxic substances, heat exposure, or falls. In ten cases, the manner of death could not be determined.

The overall number of deaths declined nearly 18 percent from the previous year, when 770 people experiencing homelessness died. Drug-related deaths specifically fell 28 percent, from 348 in fiscal year 2024 to 251 in fiscal year 2025. Despite the drop, substance use remained the dominant cause of mortality, consistent with both citywide and national patterns.

City officials noted that the true toll is likely higher. Thousands of migrants housed in temporary facilities operated by other agencies during the border crisis were not fully included in the data-matching process, meaning some deaths may have gone uncounted as homeless fatalities.

The report is the 20th in the annual series required by law. Authors said the data help identify pressing health risks for a highly vulnerable population that faces elevated rates of poorly controlled physical and mental health conditions, compounded by poverty, housing instability, and other social stressors.

As of early August 2026, the city’s shelter system housed roughly 83,200 people – down from a peak above 100,000 during the height of the migrant influx. The city has extended a $1.86 billion contract to continue using commercial hotels as emergency shelter for the next three years.

Fauci privately estimated COVID-19 death rate far lower than he gave Congress, diary shows

r. Anthony Fauci privately believed that the death rate of the COVID-19 was much lower than he told Congress just one month later, according to a record kept by the health official from February 2020. 

The diary entry was made public by Sen. Rand Paul, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, prior to Dr. Fauci’s testimony earlier this week. During his appearance, Fauci refused to answer any substantive questions and cited the 5th Amendment more than 110 times. 

During his time as the leading government health official during the COVID-19 pandemic, Fauci kept a meticulous record of his meetings, phone calls, and other day-to-day activities. 

Fauci has faced scrutiny from Republicans for years for his role in the early response to the COVID-19 pandemic as a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force that included recommendations for school closures and social distancing.

On March 11, 2020, as the coronavirus spread beyond China to Europe and the United States, Fauci told the House Oversight Committee that he estimated COVID-19’s fatality at 3% and told lawmakers it was much more deadly than the seasonal flu. 

The “case fatality rate” was “more like 0.2-0.3%”, Fauci’s personal notes reveal

“The stated mortality over all of this when you look at all the data, including China is about three percent. It first started off as two and three,” Fauci told the committee at the time. 

“I think if you count all the cases of minimally symptomatic or asymptomatic infection, that probably brings the mortality rate down to somewhere around one percent, which means it is 10 times more lethal than the seasonal flu,” Fauci continued. “I think that is something that people can get their arms around and understand.”

But, in a diary entry from just weeks before his testimony on Capitol Hill, Fauci memorialized a phone call with former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Tom Frieden in which both agreed the real “case fatality rate” was “more like 0.2-0.3%.”

“Tom Frieden called me this AM and we discussed various aspects of the outbreak. He and I are on the same page in thinking tht [sic] this is acting like a bad influenza in its transmissibility and that the denominator is much greater than 34,867 (above) making the case fatality rate (CFR) more like 0.2-0.3 % rather than 2.0%,” Fauci wrote in the February 8 diary entry.

“Stirring up fear and anxiety”

Dr. Harvey Risch, Chairman of the Trump administration’s Cancer Panel at the Department of Health and Human Services, told Just the News that Fauci’s behavior is an example of the “gigantic hubris and toxic paternalism” in the public health industry. 

“The fact that he knew this and couldn’t say the truth in public means he had other interests to pursue,” Risch said on the Just the News, No Noise TV show.  

“And, I think the worst one of all the ones […] was his estimate of the fatality rate of COVID that he was saying publicly it was one to 2%, stirring up fear and anxiety, while privately he was writing that it was a 10th of a percent, which is like a bad flu and would not have generated the same anxiety in the general public had he spoken the truth,” Risch added. 

The more than 1,141 pages of records released by the Senate committee earlier this week provide the most detailed glimpse into Dr. Fauci’s experience of the COVID-19 pandemic and the government’s response to it. 

The pages show, for example, how Fauci appeared to work to squash the lab leak theory, even though he, nor the vast majority of the scientists he consulted, accepted the Chinese “wet market” theory of COVID-19 origin in early 2020. 

Fauci’s alleged Feb. 1, 2020 personal notes recount the phone call that eventually produced the Proximal Origin paper, which concluded natural origin was the only credible explanation for COVID’s emergence, Just the News previously reported. 

Only two of a dozen scientists on the call were “sure that this could occur naturally, and we should not waste our time and divert effort to pursue this,” Fauci said, referring to the possibility that the coronavirus’ unusual ability to easily infect humans was engineered.

Sen. Ron Johnson Unloads Devastating Safety Data on Fauci — Says COVID Shot Logged Nearly 7,000 Death Reports Per Year While FDA Ignored Warning Signs and Pushed Remdesivir

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) dropped another bombshell during Wednesday’s explosive Senate hearing with Dr. Anthony Fauci, confronting the former COVID czar with adverse event data that he argued should have triggered urgent scrutiny years ago—but instead was ignored while federal health agencies relentlessly promoted COVID vaccines and Remdesivir.

Johnson’s latest exchange came after he previously confronted Fauci with stacks of studies on ivermectin and questioned why federal officials dismissed evidence supporting alternative treatments before Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during the hearing.

The Wisconsin senator displayed comparative adverse-event figures during the hearing, arguing they represented safety signals that federal regulators refused to adequately investigate.

“These are averages. Again, it doesn’t prove causation, but there’s correlation. It’s there. It’s there for a safety signal,” Johnson said.

The chart, titled “Drug Adverse Event Comparison” and labeled “FDA and CDC Data: Worldwide,” compared adverse event reports, total reported deaths, and average deaths per year across multiple products.

According to the chart presented by Johnson:

  • Ivermectin (30 years, 1996–2026): 5,127 adverse events, 518 deaths, averaging 17 deaths per year.
  • Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) (38 years, 1988–2026): 37,270 adverse events, 5,404 deaths, averaging 142 deaths per year.
  • Flu vaccines (36 years, 1990–2026): 243,335 adverse events, 2,770 deaths, averaging 77 deaths per year.
  • Dexamethasone (57 years, 1969–2026): 143,017 adverse events, 25,589 deaths, averaging 448 deaths per year.
  • Tylenol (57 years, 1969–2026): 184,186 adverse events, 42,627 deaths, averaging 747 deaths per year.
  • Remdesivir (69 months): 10,657 adverse events, 2,751 deaths, averaging 546 deaths per year.
  • COVID-19 vaccines (68 months): 1,677,227 adverse events, 39,182 deaths, averaging 6,922 deaths per year.

The chart also highlighted that 9,342 reported deaths occurred on days 0, 1, or 2 following COVID-19 vaccination.
