    What has African measles incidence to do with us and who trusts any
    figures from there anyway. Also deaths is the acid test not incidence

    "According to government, measles was a threat to national interest,
    claiming more than 40,000 lives every year (a statistic which is
    laughable since most people who get measles stay at home and treat it
    and the majority of sick people go to private clinics that do not keep
    records this figure was of course trumped up). This of course is a
    questionable statistic since the majority of deaths in Uganda are not
    registered and few parents remember any measles death. No point in
    registering a person once he has died. Forty thousand people are far
    much less than those killed in Uganda annually due to the civil war,
    dwarfs the figure for malaria, which kills a child every five second
    and for which governments is happy to ignore.......The forcing of them
    to take a vaccine against a disease they know to be harmless and which
    they know how to cure in its harmful state was seen as government hell
    bent on killing its own population for the benefit of commanding
    whiteworld. All village people know that once you have recovered from
    measles you will never catch it again, but here they were telling
    people to vaccinate even those who have recovered from measles.
    "--Kihura Nkuba 2003

    "It was similar with the measles vaccination. They went through
    Africa, South America and elsewhere, and vaccinated sick and starving
    children...They thought they were wiping out measles, but most of
    those susceptible to measles died from some other disease that they
    developed as a result of being vaccinated. The vaccination reduced
    their immune levels and acted like an infection. Many got septicaemia,
    gastro-enteritis, etcetera, or made their nutritional status worse and
    they died from malnutrition. So there were very few susceptible
    infants left alive to get measles. It's one way to get good
    statistics, kill all those that are susceptible, which is what they
    literally did." --Dr Kalokerinos, M.D.

    Excuse me? You seem to be claiming that African children are a different
    species than UK children. Well, that is an interesting notion. Is it
    because they are mostly not white (many African children are descendents fo
    the British, Dutch, German, Portuguese and other Europeans) or just because
    most of Africa is south of the Equator.

    "seem"? they are mostly malnourised with dirty water, sanitation
    http://www.whale.to/a/bangladesh.html etc, so shouldn't be receiving
    vaccines. In fact they are like we used to be in the 19 century early
    20th re poverty which is the main reason disease deaths like measles,
    smallpox etc declined--due to the decline in poverty. Measles
    declined by 99.4% before measles vax in 1968, so out poverty levels
    were still high then, and some large figure of folks now here and US
    is in poverty. That is [censored] food mostly, sugar, aspartame etc, dire

    Yes, I know Sceibner has a degree in paleo whatsit, I met her years
    ago, read all her books and post her articles

    You pharmaboys can't see clearly. You think you need a medical

    belief--guess who made that? Just ad hominem. Any idiot who can spot

    which is why I don't waste time any more arguing with pharma

    <lots of blather from anti-establishment types>

    COMMENT:

    Only John would post two quotes to bolster his case, and fail to
    notice that they essentially make completely opposite and opposing
    arguments. Here is one Kihura Nkuba, a clueless Ugandan quoted by
    John:

    Nkuba:
    "According to government, measles was a threat to national interest,
    claiming more than 40,000 lives every year (a statistic which is
    laughable since most people who get measles stay at home and treat it
    and the majority of sick people go to private clinics that do not keep
    records this figure was of course trumped up). This of course is a
    questionable statistic since the majority of deaths in Uganda are not
    registered and few parents remember any measles death. No point in

    much less than those killed in Uganda annually due to the civil war,
    dwarfs the figure for malaria, which kills a child every five second
    and for which governments is happy to ignore.......The forcing of them
    to take a vaccine against a disease they know to be harmless and which
    they know how to cure in its harmful state was seen as government hell
    bent on killing its own population for the benefit of commanding
    whiteworld. All village people know that once you have recovered from
    measles you will never catch it again, but here they were telling
    people to vaccinate even those who have recovered from measles.
    "--Kihura Nkuba 2003

    COMMENT:
    Notice that this Nkuba guy is claiming that natural measles is a
    disease which Africans in Uganda "know to be harmless", and the 40,000
    deaths a year statistically attributed to it, are "trumped up" because
    few parents "remember any measles deaths."

    Right. Got that? Now, right after this, John posts a quote by Dr. A.
    Kalokerinos explaining how measles *vaccine* deaths in Africa don't
    look like measles virus deaths. Why? Well, see, here's the secret that
    Nkuba missed: it's because the vaccine measles virus pushes sick and
    starving children over the edge of health, so they die of something
    else that *isn't reported to be measles*:

    Dr. Kalokerinos:
    "It was similar with the measles vaccination. They went through
    Africa, South America and elsewhere, and vaccinated sick and starving
    children...They thought they were wiping out measles, but most of
    those susceptible to measles died from some other disease that they
    developed as a result of being vaccinated. Kalokerinos, The
    vaccination reduced
    their immune levels and acted like an infection. Many got septicaemia,
    gastro-enteritis, etcetera, or made their nutritional status worse and
    they died from malnutrition. So there were very few susceptible
    infants left alive to get measles. It's one way to get good
    statistics, kill all those that are susceptible, which is what they
    literally did." --Dr Kalokerinos, M.D.

    COMMENT:

    My favorite part of this one is the part where Dr. Kalokerinos says
    that in these sick African children "The vaccination reduced their
    immune levels and acted like an infection." Well, there's no doubt
    that measles vaccination is an infection, since measles vaccine virus
    is an attenuated but live virus. Hellow? What horrible infection does
    the good doctor Kalokerinos think the vaccine virus is "acting like",
    we medical people wonder? Would it, possibly, be (gasp) natural
    measles infection? That *same* natural measles infection which the
    aformentioned Ugandan Nkuba tells us is *harmless* in these sick and
    starving Africans, anyway--- as every African knows? But Dr.
    Kalokerinos, we suppose, doesn't? Kalokerinos states without evidence
    that "many" of these vaccinated kids, as a result of lower immunity
    from infection by the live vaccine virus, got "septicaemia,
    gastro-enteritis, etcetera, or made their nutritional status worse and
    they died from malnutrition." Please remember, that according to Dr.
    Kalokerinos, these are the same African kids who die on a continent
    where Mr. Nkuba says measles death statistics must be "trumped up"
    because statistics are untrustworthy, and "few parents remember any
    measles death." Hmmm.

    In short, if Mr. Nkuba's argument is valid that few measles death
    *reports* in Africa actually should be trusted to mean few actual
    measles *deaths* in Africa, then all of Dr. Kalokerinos' claims about
    measles *vaccine* deaths in malnourished children, are subject to at
    least an equal claim of being "trumped up" by Dr. Kalokerinos, in the
    same way. Where are the reports that support Kalokerinos? No doubt,
    Kalokerinos is telling us white man's fibs, similar to those we hear
    about natural measles. Nkuba should talk to the doctor and give him
    some good ethnic sensitivity training.

    And conversely, if Dr. Kalokerinos' claims (for which he gives no
    statistics) are actually valid about measles vaccine virus deaths
    going unnoticed, as other causes of death in sick and malnourished
    African children, then the same argument cannot fail to go in spades
    in regards to deaths in Africa due to the natural measles disease,
    also. In that case, it is Mr. Nkuba who is being naïve about measles
    infection deaths in Africa. Not only that, but in that case, also Dr.
    Kalokerinos must be a complete fool not to to realise that if the
    attenuated virus in the vaccine really is knocking off malnourished
    African children like flies, as he claims, that epidemics of the real
    full strength virus (which is what these children are subject to if
    NOT vaccinated) would not be far worse in this regard. And for just
    the same reasons. Why are we supposed to believe one thing and not the
    other?

    And if both of these men are a few bricks shy of a load, then John the
    local Dunce is a complete moron to post both of their arguments, and
    fail to notice that not only do they disagree with each other's views
    completely, but that in particular Kalokerinos' implied argument about
    Africa (killer vaccine virus, pussycat natural virus) isn't very
    consistant with itself, and thus isn't even good fantasy.

    Bronwyn Hancock, another Australian anti-vaccination liar and someone

    I sat in the audience one night and saw Archie Kalokerinos repeat his
    insane conspiracy theory that vaccination is a deliberate policy of
    the WHO and the Save The Children Fund to commit genocide. He actually
    said that "these organisations put [censored] and Stalin in the shade"
    when it came to mass killing and genocide.

    I have never been so close to madness without some sort of screen
    between me and the maniac. What made it even more scary was how sane
    he looked as he spoke. What doubled the scariness was that the
    audience applauded.

    Har har. It's true that poverty and malnutrition are still major
    factors in causing measles deaths, but vaccination prevents measles
    even in malnourished populations, despite the claims of John's hero
    Kalokerinos.

    20th re poverty which is the main reason disease deaths like measles,
    smallpox etc declined--due to the decline in poverty.  Measles
    declined by 99.4% before measles vax in 1968, so out poverty levels
    were still high then, and some large figure of folks now here and US
    is in poverty.  That is [censored] food mostly, sugar, aspartame etc, dire
    jobs.

    I wasn't aware that South America had a lower poverty rate
    than England and the USA did in the first half of the 20th
    century. The death rate from measles and polio in South
    America is now zero; the measles rate in the UK is quite
    a bit higher and rising.

    Nkuba also claims lots of things that a just not true (like polio not being
    Uganda until the recent vaccination program... even though polio has been
    historically one of the main reasons for the high levels of disability in
    Uganda). He is not a reliable source of information.

    Translation:

    He is *outside* of organized medicine.

    Note Jan's response when someone is actually
    caught in a lie: she defends it because it's
    "*outside* of organized medicine."
