Barbara Loe Fisher is president of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), a non-profit charity she co-founded with parents of DPT vaccine injured children in 1982. NVIC is a national, grassroots movement and public information campaign to institute vaccine safety reforms and informed consent protections in the public health system. She has researched, analyzed and publicly articulated the major issues involving the science, policy, law, ethics and politics of vaccination to become one of the world’s leading non-medical, consumer advocacy experts on the subject.
It’s been said that we had eradicated measles by the year 2000, yet to listen to the legacy media, you’d think that was never the case as now measles is making headlines all over America. For example, Barbara began by noting the over 300 cases of measles that were reported in 15 states on March 13th, the majority of which were in Texas. There were two deaths, one confirmed as a school age unvaccinated child in Texas and one adult in New Mexico, the latter of which is still under investigation. We’re told that 95% of the cases are children or adults that aren’t vaccinated or have an unknown vaccination status.
What’s critical to this discussion involves a major report Barbara did in 2019 when measles outbreaks were being reported in the New York City area. This report deals with the history of measles and measles vaccines in America. It’s called: The Science and Politics of Eradicating Measles.
The report goes back in time to show that during the 1960’s, the two doctors that were responsible for coordinating smallpox eradication campaigns described measles as, “…a self limiting infection of short duration, moderate severity and low fatality that has maintained a remarkably stable, biological balance over the centuries.”
So why the dire warnings today concerning measles when so many from generations past got measles yet it was never a leading cause of death in America? Barbara helps answer that question on this broadcast that also takes a look at vaccines and autism, there’s discussion on the latest concerning the bird flu and mRNA technology, the influenza vaccine, vaccine news out of Iowa, comments from listeners and more.
