For Health Officials & School Boards:  Asymptomatic Measles Infection is Real

By James Lyons Weiler

December, 15, 2018

There was a time when it was openly recognized that vaccinated individuals could become infected with wild-type measles. These infections are called subclinical infections (aka asymptomatic infections). We don’t talk about that very much anymore. In fact, two days ago I had a conference call with a high-ranking health official at the NYC Health Commission who claimed that it does not happen – specifically, that official stated that subclinical infections do not occur.

Given that this person is so obviously misinformed, I thought I would provide a literature resource for those who might not realize this reality: vaccinated individuals can, and have always, been known to be able to be infected with wild-type measles virus. Since this is true, the rare non-vaccinated child is not, in a highly vaccinated population, to be the primary source of new transmissions of measles. Instead, the vaccinated individuals with subclinical infections may be driving new infections in schools. It is therefore illogical, and quite unfair, to blame unvaccinated individuals when infected asymptomatic individuals can go to school unabated.

If we are to have public health policies based on science, this science must be given due consideration; otherwise, we would have public health policies based on something other than science. In reality, in highly vaccinated populations, measles can spread from a majority of vaccinated, to a minority of unvaccinated people, causing overt disease. In other words, the unvaccinated merely expose the circulating measles virus, and any child with a compromised immune system may be exposed even in a fully vaccinated population.

Not all full texts are freely available online, but some are. Here are some relevant examples from the primary scientific literature.

Nonclassic measles infections in an immune population exposed to measles during a college bus trip. Helfand RF https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=9829639

“Mild or asymptomatic measles infections are probably very common among measles-immune persons exposed to measles cases and may be the most common manifestation of measles during outbreaks in highly immune populations.”

Current status of measles in Japan. Nakayama T, Zhou J, Fujino M. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12673398

“Measles infection is considered to provide lifelong immunity after an infection and, thus, live measles vaccines also induce longterm immunity. But long-term immunity is now considered to be an effect of natural boosts via subclinical reinfection. Subclinical infection has been demonstrated by sero-conversion, but the isolation or detection of the measles virus genome was rarely demonstrated”…

“Potential impediments to eradication include: (1) a lack of political will in some industrialized countries, (2) transmission among adults, (3) increasing urbanization and population density, (4) HIV epidemics, (5) waning immunity and the possibility of transmission from subclinical cases, and (6) risk of unsafe injection.”

Protective titres of measles neutralising antibody. Lee MS et al. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11074481

“…only 1 vaccinee with HI titre #31 mIU/ml experienced typical measles symptoms and 13 vaccinees with HI titres #31 mIU/ml experienced subclinical infection.”

Effect of subclinical infection on maintaining immunity against measles in vaccinated children in West Africa. Whittle HC et al. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=10023894

Detection of measles virus genome in lymphocytes from asymptomatic healthy children. Sonoda S, Nakayama T. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11536248

“Serological confirmation of subclinical re-infection was obtained by pre-exposure in household-exposed parents who developed asymptomatic secondary immune responseswith a concomitant increase in specific IgG neutralizing test antibodies and haemagglutination inhibition titres…Subclinical infection was confirmed in adulthood.”

“In Japan, measles virus has been circulating and asymptomatic infection has occurred frequently…”

Waning immunity and subclinical measles infections in England. Glass K, Grenfell BT. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15364464

“A comparison of these cases … shows us that adding subclinical infections to the model also increases the number of clinical cases, as the subclinical infections increase the levels of circulating virus. This feature is more pronounced … because {when) vaccination
levels are higher … subclinical cases make up a greater proportion of the total cases.”

Man Blames Flu Shot for Blindness & Partial Paralysis

Man Blames Flu Shot for Leaving Him Blind and Partially Paralyzed

Posted by Erin Elizabeth | Dec 6, 2018

NBC: Las Vegas man blames flu shot for triggering rare disorder

Monique Morgan says that the flu shot her husband Shane had on November 2nd sent him to the ICU.

Just one day after receiving his flu shot, Las Vegas man Shane Morgan went from perfectly healthy to unable to speak, walk, or breathe on his own. He has been hospitalized for the last 2 weeks.

“At the start of November, Shane and his wife Monique like most couples were planning for the holidays, and with family and young infants coming to town they decided to get the flu shot.

‘About 36-hours after he got the flu shot he started to get sick,’ Monique said as she sat next to her husband in his hospital bed.

Shane started complaining that he couldn’t feel his legs or arms so his wife rushed him to Centennial Hills Hospital, where he spent 4-days on a ventilator in the ICU.”1

Although it pains us to share stories like this we simply must inform the public. We have to continue to get this message out there.

Yes, Guillain-Barre’ Syndrome (GBS) can cause symptoms that last for a few weeks and most recover, but many people have long-term nerve damage. And it can cause death due to breathing difficulty.  While rare, it’s estimated that 3,000 to 6,000 people develop GBS every year in the US. And if they are getting it after getting a totally unnecessary flu shot, they should be informed about their GBS risks

One doctor interviewed was quick to point out that the flu shot can’t give you GBS but that it’s your body’s response to the shot. So, if our body responds this way, why aren’t scientists trying to figure out WHY? (If you take something that gives you a disease, isn’t that thing really just giving you the disease? Isn’t this just semantics?)

“Infection with the bacterium Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most common risk factors for GBS. People also can develop GBS after having the flu or other infections (such as cytomegalovirus and Epstein Barr virus). On very rare occasions, they may develop GBS in the days or weeks after getting a vaccination.”3

The same doctor went on to say that they don’t want people to be afraid of getting a flu shot because they save lives. But I think people are starting to wake up and realize that a shot with an effectiveness rate of 10% some years isn’t really doing much.

Just Remember… There is no Flu Season

Shane has a long road to recovery ahead of himself. But his family is there to help him. And if you are able and can help, the family has set up a GoFundMe account to help with their expenses.

This is the second news story this week about the perils of the flu vaccine:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/12/11/ny-senator-passes-away-at-47-after-linking-illness-to-flu-shot-symptoms/   José R. Peralta, a former New York State Senator, complained of a mysterious illness for two weeks prior to his passing. According to an article in the New York Times, Peralta believed the cause of his symptoms to be related to a flu shot he’d recently received.

The New York City’s Medical Examiner’s office allegedly said that Peralta died of “septic shock,” according to the New York Post.  Without the results of the autopsy, this diagnosis remains informal.

According to Dr. Mercola, Sepsis is one of the leading causes of influenza-related deaths which is caused by an aggressive, dysfunctional immune response to an infection in the bloodstream.  The excerpt below shows that the flu vaccine makes you vulnerable to secondary infections.

Excerpt from article:  https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2018/12/11/risks-of-vaccines-vs-benefit.aspx?  While Peralta had recently received an influenza vaccination, research shows the flu vaccine often fails to work, and may actually weaken the immune system, making you more vulnerable to secondary infections and/or more severe disease.23,24,25 In one study,26 influenza vaccination more than quadrupled children’s risk of contracting an upper respiratory infection.  According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,27 the 2017-2018 seasonal influenza vaccine’s effectiveness against “influenza A and influenza B virus infection associated with medically attended acute respiratory illness” was just 36 percent, meaning there was a 64 percent chance of contracting influenza even if you got the flu shot.

In this vaccine exemption update article, Dr. Mercola also warns that the Flu Vaccine is the Leading Cause for Vaccine Injury Compensation among adults as well as the fact that no well executed clinical trials have proven its safety and efficacy:  https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/11/08/vaccine-exemption-

Most of these injuries are in fact GBS.

He goes on to warn that 2013 research shows that getting vaccinated against one strain raises your risk of severe infection from a different strain.

As a Lyme/MSIDS patient, we must weigh benefit with risk as our bodies are already under attack causing immune system dysfunction.

In a way, the irony here is palpable.  Lyme/MSIDS patients with chronic symptoms are told they don’t have persistent infection but rather that they are either making it all up (MUS) OR it’s a problem with their immune system.  With vaccines, authorities also hedge on blaming the vaccine (provoking agent) but rather on a faulty immune response.

The simple fact of the matter is that without provocation, GBS and/or Lyme/MSIDS would not occur.  

Remove the provocation and you remove GBS and Lyme/MSIDS.

In the case of GBS, remove the vaccine and there’s no GBS.  In the case of Lyme/MSIDS, remove the bacteria & viruses and there’s no Lyme/MSIDS.

Seems pretty straight forward to me, but I’m just a crazy gray-hair.

NY Senator Passes Away At 47 After Linking Illness to Flu Shot Symptoms

NY State Senator Passes Away At 47 After Linking Illness To Flu Shot Symptoms

Jim Satney November 24, 2018

José R. Peralta, a former New York State Senator, has passed away at age 47. Peralta is the first Dominican-American to elected to New York’s State Senate.

The circumstances surrounding Peralta’s death are odd, to say the least.

Peralta allegedly complained of ‘flu symptoms’ following flu shot. Medical examiner determined potential septic shock.

Peralta complained of a mysterious illness for two weeks prior to his passing. According to an article in the New York Times, Peralta believed the cause of his symptoms to be related to a flu shot he’d recently received.

“It was like pulling teeth to get him to talk about not feeling well,” Mr. Chris Sosa, Peralta’s Director of Communications, said. “He just thought he was having symptoms related to getting the flu shot.”

Peralta began experiencing disorientation on Wednesday evening. He was immediately taken to Elmhurst Hospital Center in Queens. He passed away at the hospital at 9:23 p.m. An autopsy is being performed.

Medical Examiner Says ‘Septic Shock’ Likely Cause

New York City’s Medical Examiner’s office allegedly told Evelyn Peralta, his wife, that Peralta died of “septic shock,” according to the New York Post.

All they said is that he was septic,’ she said on Friday. ‘And that led to organ failure.’

Without the results of the autopsy, this diagnosis remains informal.

Politicians React To Peralta’s Untimely Passing

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said he is “deeply saddened” by the passing of the former State Senator.

“As a member of the Assembly for eight years and then as senator, he fought tirelessly to make a difference for others, and he will always be remembered for his service to Queens and to all New Yorkers,” Mr. Cuomo said in a press statement.

“Jose Peralta was a proud son of Queens and the Dominican Republic. He worked his way up from the grassroots, with heart and tenacity,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Twitter.

Peralta recently lost his State Senate seat to Jessica Ramos. Peralta’s loss is said to have been a result of his aligning with Republicans via the Independent Democratic Conference. He served in the seat since 2010.

According to Dr. Mercola, Sepsis is one of the leading causes of influenza-related deaths which is caused by an aggressive, dysfunctional immune response to an infection in the bloodstream.

Excerpt from article:

While Peralta had recently received an influenza vaccination, research shows the flu vaccine often fails to work, and may actually weaken the immune system, making you more vulnerable to secondary infections and/or more severe disease.^23,24,25 In one study,²⁶ influenza vaccination more than quadrupled children’s risk of contracting an upper respiratory infection.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,²⁷ the 2017-2018 seasonal influenza vaccine’s effectiveness against “influenza A and influenza B virus infection associated with medically attended acute respiratory illness” was just 36 percent, meaning there was a 64 percent chance of contracting influenza even if you got the flu shot.

The article also gives a sepsis treatment protocol developed by Dr. Paul Marik which consists of giving IV vitamin C with hydrocortisone and vitamin B1 for two days which reduced mortality from 40% down to 8.5%.

Before vaccines, here’s the annual death toll from various diseases:

• rubella 17-24
• mumps 39-50
• chicken pox 105-138
• measles 400-552  (While they say the vaccine has saved 24,200 lives in the past 55 years, there have been more than 89,355 adverse reactions reported including 1,657 disabilities & 445 deaths.  An estimated 99% of adverse reactions are never reported.)

By comparison, the death toll from other issues:

• lightening 100
• choking on food 200
• slip & fall accidents 350
• C-diff 15,000
• car crashes 40,000
• medical errors 250,000
