Pharma-Sponsored Media Launches Measles Fear Campaign Based on Distorted Science
Media-driven panic over measles ignores real risks, natural disease patterns, and the role of vaccine shedding.
Feb 27, 2025
A google search for ‘measles’ reveals the coordinated fear campaign propagated by pharma-sponsored mass media:
Is there a reason to cower in fear as the news suggests and rush to get MMR booster shots? No.
Measles outbreaks occur every year across the United States despite 90.8% MMR vaccine uptake:
Shedding of measles vaccine RNA is a recognized phenomenon, with detectable levels in nasopharyngeal samples for up to 29 days post-vaccination (Washam et al). This shedding results from the replication of the attenuated vaccine virus, which can be transmitted to close contacts:
Routine isolation practices recommend by the CDC for all measles cases, regardless of severity, will drastically inflate hospitalization rates, making the virus appear more dangerous to the layperson:
What is the actual risk of measles-related hospitalization due to illness? A study by Miller, published in England using data from 1963—prior to the introduction of the measles vaccine—found a hospitalization rate of 11.5 per 1,000 cases and a mortality rate of 0.2 per 1,000 cases. In comparison, seasonal influenza has a hospitalization rate of 10–20 per 1,000 cases and a mortality rate of 0.5–2 per 1,000 cases.
Additionally, prior research summarized in the extensively referenced book Dissolving Illusions by Bystrianyk and Humphries indicates that measles-related deaths in children are overwhelmingly linked to malnutrition and vitamin A deficiency.
It appears that the primary purpose of this fear campaign is to sow distrust in the new HHS administration and increase MMR vaccine uptake. Gao et al demonstrated that higher public fear = higher vaccine uptake:
However, as of 2024, 69% of Americans have no trust or very little trust in mainstream media. Thus, this fear campaign is doomed to fail.

Ope Taylor got the measles. The Brady kids got the measles. Other TV kids got the measles. That WAS the messaging. Now, the messaging is a deathvaxx is necessary for everything (even my hangnail).
Mike Stone did an article about how these 'outbreaks' are conjured. The 'unvaccinated' need to be aware of this if they want to avoid 'outbreaks'. Saying you have been abroad is the first step to setting off an 'outbreak' so in theory if people knew just not to say that it would stop them. Then if they refused to say they had been to the shopping center or whatever link they were trying to establish it would not be a case. Ofcourse there is also the 'test' that would be needed to 'confirm' it. . All in all it is pretty difficult to put someone in the measles box if they say no . https://mikestone.substack.com/p/measles-magic
