Measles Outbreak in Chicago Migrant Shelter Reveals at Least 28 Percent Were Vaccinated

Following identification of 15 cases of measles in a Chicago shelter that houses migrants from Venezuela, city public health officials announced on Mar. 20, 2024 that “measles is circulating in our city. And it’s why we are putting a call out for everyone who is at risk to protect themselves now” by getting a measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) shot.1 On Apr. 23, the Commissioner of the Chicago Department of Public Health told doctors to consider giving children living in the city a second dose of MMR vaccine “earlier than usual,” warning that “too many Chicagoans are still not vaccinated against this highly contagious virus and other vaccine preventable diseases.”2

On May 16, officials at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published a report that a total of 57 confirmed measles cases had been confirmed in residents of the city migrant shelter or close contacts, and that 16 of the cases (28 percent) had received one or two doses of measles vaccine “more than 21 days before first known exposure,” while 41 cases (72 percent) “did not have documentation of measles vaccination and were considered unvaccinated.”3

CDC officials admitted that during the spring 2024 measles outbreak among mostly Venezuelan migrants at the Chicago shelter, “the percentage of measles cases among persons with a history of previous vaccination was higher than that reported through recent national surveillance in the United States.”4 They blamed the nearly 30 percent measles vaccine failure rate on “prolonged or close exposure to measles virus” among residents of the crowded shelter and said that Venezuela had seen a drop in first-dose measles vaccination coverage for children twelve months and older from 95 percent to 68 percent between 2017 and 2021 because of worldwide “disruption of routine immunization services during the COVID-19 pandemic.” They also defended the effectiveness of the MMR vaccine by repeating the often-quoted mantra that “primary vaccine failure occurs in approximately 4% of recipients of 1 MMR dose and is rare among recipients of 2 MMR doses.”5

Measles vaccine math

Executive summary

One person has died from measles in the last 10 years. Is this a sign that everyone who has not been infected or vaccinated for measles should get vaccinated?

According to all health authorities the answer is yes.

According to your friendly neighborhood misinformation superspreader (me), the answer is a big NO.

Why? Because you’re more likely to die or be seriously injured for life from these shots than benefit from them.

Here’s how the math works out today

Today, the math is obvious: even if the vaccine is 100% effective, we’d save 1 life every 10 years. But in 10 years, injecting 3M kids a year, even with a 1 in 1M death rate from the vaccine (which would be unbelievably safe), we’d have 30 deaths from the vaccine and 1 from the disease. So it’s a no-brainer today to avoid the shots. The same argument can be made for morbidity since if we just look at autism alone, there’s no question. But “science” isn’t able to make this very obvious association and none of the scientists are willing to be publicly challenged.

The math will be different 70 years from now. Should you get it then?

Let’s look at another scenario. Suppose we stop vaccinating kids tomorrow. Then in around 70 years, most everyone will be unvaccinated and we’ll probably have more measles deaths because the NIH will still never let people know about any early treatment with repurposed drugs.

So we should end up with somewhere around 450 deaths a year which is what it was before we had a measles vaccine.

So you have roughly a 1 in a million chance of dying from the measles each year, but your probability of dying from the shot, assuming it is AMAZINGLY safe at 1 death per million, is about the same. It’s a wash.

Generally, you only want to risk a medical intervention when you are absolutely certain that the benefits way outweigh the risks.

Pandemics: The Healthcare Dilemma of Our Time

Humans have always faced disease outbreaks, sometimes spreading widely as pandemics. Dealing with these, reducing their frequency, and reducing harm when they occur are important reasons why we now live longer than our ancestors. As human society has progressed, we have become very good at managing risk and harm. A reduction in inequality and evidence-based health policies have been central to this success. Understanding how we got to this point, and the forces that are pulling us back, is vital to maintaining this progress. 

The World Around and Within Us

Infectious disease outbreaks happen. They once defined much of life, removing half the population in childhood and sometimes coming in waves that killed up to a third of entire populations. These historic outbreaks and life-shortening endemic diseases were mostly caused by bacteria, spread through poor hygiene and living conditions. Since we (re-)invented underground sewers, and (re-)understood the importance of clean drinking water and a good diet, mortality has greatly declined. We now live, on average, much longer. The development of modern antibiotics brought another huge step forward – most deaths during the Spanish flu, before modern antibiotics were invented, were due to secondary bacterial infections

Viruses also kill people directly and have devastated populations that had been relatively isolated for thousands of years. Measles and smallpox came close to wiping out whole populations, such as those of Oceania or the Americas, at the beginning of the European colonial era. But now, with perhaps the exception of HIV and respiratory viruses in the very frail elderly, the risk to most of us is low. Vaccination has further reduced this risk, but the vast bulk of reduced mortality in the wealthy occurred well before they became available for most vaccine-preventable diseases. This fact was once taught routinely in medical schools when evidence-based medicine was a primary driver of policy. 

Humans have evolved to live with bacteria and viruses, both friendly and harmful. Our ancestors have been dealing with them, in different variants, for hundreds of millions of years. We even contain descendants of simple bacteria within our cells – our mitochondria – containing their own genome. They and our far, far distant ancestors found a happy symbiosis where we protect them, and they provide energy for us. 

We also harbor billions of ‘foreign’ cells within our body – most of the cells we carry are not human but have a completely different genome. They are bacteria living in our guts, on our skin, and even within our blood. They are not an enemy – without some of them, we would die. They help us break food into forms we can absorb, they produce or modify essential nutrients, and they protect us from bacteria that would kill us if left unchecked. They produce chemicals that allow our brains to think critically and face the outside world with humor. Our bodies are a whole ecosystem in themselves, an unbelievably complex and beautiful symphony of life that sustains our being and gives a home and face to our spirit.

The effects of mRNA injections editing our genes could be devastating to our humanity

Professor Michael Plank of Covid-19 Aotearoa Modelling and Te Punaha Matatini Centre for Complex Systems and Networks is a mathematical biologist and epidemiologist commissioned by the New Zealand government to deliver mathematical modelling of covid-19 in support of the pandemic response.

[Yesterday], he advised us all to roll the genetic dice one more time and get another covid-19 mRNA vaccine to avoid winter illness. Is he up to date on the risks for the individual and humanity? Let’s find out.

A team of doctors at the authoritative Harvard Medical School is offering us another opinion in the journal The Neurohospitalist under the title ‘Fatal Post Covid mRNA-Vaccine Associated Cerebral Ischemia’. The study discusses a case of a thirty-year-old female recipient of the Moderna mRNA covid injection who subsequently developed circulatory and inflammatory problems in her brain followed by a fatal stroke.

The authors conclude: “The side effects of covid-19 infection and vaccination are still incompletely understood … clinicians should be aware of presentations like this one.”

Individual Risks are Growing with Each Vaccine

As we pointed out in our last article, the medical authorities really don’t know what is causing a surge in winter illness coming on top of our already overwhelmed hospital system. In an interview with Jamie Morton of the New Zealand Herald, Professor Plank references new so-called “FLiRT variants” of the JN.1 covid strain. Rather than pressing the fear button and urging one more throw of the covid-19 vaccine dice, Professor Plank might have drawn upon a couple of principles from Virology 101.

At this point in the pandemic, the biggest drivers of covid variation are actually covid-19 vaccines. The more covid vaccines, the more covid variants. Variants are running into uncountable millions. Among them, covid variants that evade covid-19 vaccines are set to flourish and spread.

Secondly, as we have referenced previously, repeated doses of covid vaccines cause Vaccine Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (“VAIDS”).

Thirdly, as is now admitted in the scientific literature, the more mRNA covid-19 vaccine doses you have, the more exposed you become to serious risks, including heart disease, stroke and cancer.

We reported just days ago that prominent vaccine advocate Dr. Vinay Prasad is now suggesting that the evidence shows the risk of serious illness following mRNA covid vaccination outweighs any potential benefit.

mRNA Vaccines Permanently Alter DNA of the Vaxxed & Their Offspring — Censored Study

Dr. Peter McCullough posted a video to X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday which focused on censorship by LinkedIn of a study which documented how mRNA gene therapy ‘vaccines’ such as the Covid shots permanently alter the genetics of the vaccinated and their progeny via insertion of mRNA into the human DNA.

“The Pfizer and Moderna genetic code is permanently installed into the human genome,” McCullough said. “So as we sit here today we have to reconcile that Pfizer and Moderna potentially could have permanently changed the human genome.”

The doctor went on to say that conclusive research has not yet been conduct to confirm if the entire mRNA sequence is permanently incorporated into DNA, as he hopes the body will edit it out, yet it’s a strong possibility that mankind has forever been fundamentally altered, something he referred to as ‘very disturbing’.

McCullough also discussed the concern that the Pfizer and Moderna genetic code has imbedded itself within sex cells, causing permanent mutations for all offspring of the vaccinated lineage.

MMR Jabs contain massive Endotoxin

Dear Reader, have you found any measurements of Endotoxin in MMR Jabs?

I have been hunting for a while and will add any data you send me to the following finds. Measured Endotoxin in any type of jab is also of great interest.

In a recent post Steve Kirsch showed that Autism was most commonly associated with MMR Jabs.1 I have shown that jabbing the mother with Endotoxin causes Autism in the unborn child, if it survives.2 Look out for MMRV jabs as well.

Now turning my attention to Autism and other damage done to Children from their jabs, starting with MMR.

KA-CHING! Big Pharma Stocks Soar as They Plan Next Vaccine to Solve Bird Flu Pandemic

Major pharmaceuticals had a fantastic week in the global markets amid speculation that they may be ready to develop a vaccine to treat bird flu.

As fears grow around the world over the risk of another pandemic following the detection of avian bird flu in humans, pharmaceutical companies are benefitting from talk that they may be ready to develop another vaccine to stop another pandemic in its tracks.

The Motley Fool reports:

Shares of vaccine stocks ModernaNovavax, and BioNTech SE rallied this week, appreciating 23.4%, 16.4%, and 9.3%, respectively, through Thursday trading, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.

While these three stocks gained notoriety back in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, it appears this week’s detection of avian bird flu in a second U.S. citizen and the first-ever detection of avian flu in a human in Australia are spurring fears of an outbreak and thus a possible boon for companies that can quickly produce a bird flu vaccine.

A new avian flu, H5N1, was detected in cattle back in March, with one worker in Texas coming down with associated conjunctivitis at that time. But on Wednesday this week, a second U.S. dairy worker in Michigan tested positive for the avian flu as well. That same day, an Australian dairy worker also tested positive for avian flu, marking the first-ever human case of avian flu in that country.

The discoveries spurred fears of an outbreak. That same day, the Assistant Secretary of Preparedness and Response at the Department of Health and Human Services, Dawn O’Connell, noted that Moderna and Pfizer, which partnered with BioNTech on the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, were in talks over a potential mRNA vaccine program for the new avian flu.

As has been extensively reported by The Gateway Pundit, major pharmaceuticals including Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca made billions in profits for their shareholders after developing a series of vaccines intended to treat COVID-19.

One Health: Climate Vaccines Are Coming For The Cattle, Then For Humans

Climate vaccine developer ArkeaBio has raised $26.5 million in Series A funding, the company announced last week. ArkeaBio aims to fight climate change by vaccinating livestock.

Suppressing methane emissions

A vaccine being developed by the company is designed to prevent animals from releasing methane emissions. Once vaccinated with the AkreaBio shot, an animal’s immune system is supposed to create antibodies that will target methane-producing microbes.

The Boston-based startup secured its first major investment in late 2022 from Breakthrough Energy Ventures, an investment fund founded by billionaire Bill Gates.

“Our vaccination-based approach allows for much-needed decarbonization of global meat and dairy products across multiple geographies, supporting greater sustainability in agriculture,” the company explains on its website.

Pharma industry eyes climate vaccines for humans

While ArkeaBio hopes to deploy the vaccines worldwide for livestock, it has not yet announced plans to develop climate vaccines for humans.

But human-targeted climate vaccines do appear to be in the works. Researchers at Gingko Bioworks, a biotech firm also backed by Gates, have floated mRNA injections as a measure to mitigate the impact of global warming. The World Economic Forum has also expressed support for climate vaccines.

The biggest push, however, is coming from the pharmaceutical industry, as vaccine makers claim vaccines are a “critical response to the climate crisis.” In December, pharmaceutical giant GSK wrote on its website that “[i]n the face of climate change, vaccines play a crucial but underestimated role.”

Official US government data shows that there is no doubt whatsoever that the COVID vaccines cause Guillain-Barre, Bell’s palsy, and other serious side effects

The medical community, including NASEM (the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, Medicine) have determined that the COVID vaccines do NOT cause GBS, Bell’s palsy (and hundreds of other side effects).

In this article, I will show you official government data that simply cannot be explained if that is true.

This new evidence, most of which has been available in plain sight for years, will blow your mind. It has never been shown publicly before, as far as I know, even though it is in plain sight.

The bottom line is that for some reason, nearly all the scientific studies that investigate harms from the COVID vaccine never seem to be able to find any safety signals even when those signals are undeniable.

This means we should never rely on any scientific studies about the safety of the COVID vaccines until these fundamental flaws are discovered, acknowledged, and fixed.

The official US government evidence in plain sight is undeniable

If the COVID vaccines are so safe, why are the rates of adverse event reports for many conditions nearly solely associated with one vaccine: the COVID vaccine?

The charts below are the VAERS data for over 30 years of every vaccine type.

The numbers are not higher for the COVID vaccines because of the number of doses delivered. There have been far more flu vaccines delivered than COVID vaccines since it’s an annual shot.

About 150M flu shots are given every year vs. 680M COVID shots delivered. So in the past 30 years, that’s 4.5B shots. So there should be 6X as many events for any background disease tallied against the flu shots than the COVID shots.

And nearly everyone gets all the childhood vaccines. For some vaccines it’s 4 or 5 doses. So it’s roughly 4*340M = 1.3B shots for each of the vaccines with 4 doses.

Childhood vaccines and autism: Things have got out of control

In January 2019, Full Measure, a weekly Sunday television news programme broadcast to about 43 million households, reported on the link between vaccines and autism.

“A respected pro-vaccine medical expert used by the federal government to debunk the vaccine-autism link, says vaccines can cause autism after all. He claims he told that to government officials long ago, but they kept it secret.

“Meantime, CDC – which promotes vaccines and monitors vaccine safety – never disclosed that the government’s own one-time medical expert concluded vaccines can cause autism – and to this day public health officials deny that’s the case.”

You can read a transcript for the video above on Full Measure’s website HERE.

Last Friday, during an event titled ‘Art of War’ held in Chattanooga, USA, Dr. Peter McCullough gave a speech titled ‘Who is Winning the Information War?’.

Toward the end of his speech, Dr. McCullough spoke about the twin epidemic of autism and gender dysphoria (see video clip below).

“Autism was 1 in 10,000 when I was a kid,” Dr. McCullough said, “it’s now 1 in 36.  It’s the biggest epidemic of childhood in US history.”

He acknowledged there is some increase in the number of cases due to improved screening and detection but there is “a massive bona fide increase.”

“What we know is that it appears to be associated with the expanding childhood vaccine schedule,” he said.  In 1960 a child was given 3 vaccines. Now a child is given 108 vaccines.  In one of the vaccine visits, a child is given 13 vaccines at one time.

“It has been well demonstrated that if a child gets sick with a big round of shots and they have a seizure, there’s about a 40% chance that their brain is injured and they that they develop autism,” Dr. McCullough told the audience. “There are 200 studies now linking excessive vaccination in childhood to autism,” he said.  Adding that other factors also cause autism, so no one knows for sure.

But “things have gotten so out of control on childhood vaccines and autism that World Council for Health are saying: ‘Parents are urged to adopt a common sense. ‘Safer to Wait’ approach’,” he said.

What does that mean?  That means deferring on the childhood vaccine schedule.

“Five studies show children who take no vaccines, none – they’re born healthy, they take no vaccines, they’re healthier than the kids who take the vaccines.  There are lower rates of food allergy … there are lower rates of asthma, allergic dermatitis, need for tympanostomy tubes, lower rates of attention deficit disorder, Asperger disease, lower rates of autism spectrum disorder … massive excessive vaccination is likely harming our children today,” Dr McCullough said.  “50% of all the sudden infant deaths that occur, occur within a week of taking a battery of these shots.”
