A big push for measles vaccination seems to have electrified the media and my medical friend’s social media postings.
Health officials in Washington have declared a state of emergency and are urging immunization as they scramble to contain a measles outbreak ... while the number of cases of the potentially deadly virus rises to 36.When I was a kid in the 50s and 60s, measles was considered a normal childhood illness and everyone was expected to get it. About 4 million measles cases per year in the USA. It usually did not even warrant a trip to the doctor's office as every mother recognized the fever, red eyes, cough and splotchy rash. Now 36 cases is declared a state of emergency. Similar to supporting Trump, there is only one possible public position for moral and intelligent people: Vaccinate everyone. By force. I have been surprised that most nurses and physicians do not seem to know that review of vaccine injury database in 1998 showed that there is a small but real incidence of encephalopathy and permanent mental regression occuring about 8 and 9 days post MMR vaccination. Even (especially?) medical people are unaware of this and incorrectly believed that all connections between MMR and autism/encephalopathy was "disproven many times over." They also incorrectly believed that measles vaccine is 100% safe and only idiots and degenerates would ever have misgivings about vaccination. Most are also unaware that deaths from measles have become exceedingly rare in the US. Modern medical care for measles is very good with IV fluids, antibiotics for secondary pneumonias and Measles Immune Globulin. (The CDC's case fatality ratio numbers for measles are inconsistent and depend on how they were derived. In a personal communication with the CDC measles expert, Meryl Nass reports that there were only 3 deaths from measles in the USA in the last 15 years each of whom were immunocompromised.) The most recent figures for the USA are an average of 250 measles cases per year with 0.2 deaths/year. In the USA, this is because the measles vaccine is so effective (93% after 1 dose and 97% after 2) and the vaccination rate is so high. Measles just doesn't circulate in the US population. Another tidbit: Who are the American's who do not have immunity to measles?
a. children under 15 months too young to have been vaccinated (1%) b. vaccine refusers (1.7%) c. vaccine non-responders--people who have been vaccinated but didn't mount an effective immune response (3%) d. those whose immune response waned with time. (10%-15%) e. unvaccinated who have a medical contra-indication to this live-virus vaccine. (HIV, chemotherapy, transplant, immunocompromised, long list, etc.) Percentage unknown.The hoopla about measles in the news seems greatly out of proportion to its threat. What is going on? The reason that this topic comes up today is that it is time to thin the population of deplorables who are becoming more vocal in their displeasure about inequality. If I were writing a novel about a small group engineering a great die off, I would use an epidemic augmented by a vaccination booster. The epidemic to scare the people into accepting the mandatory vaccine, then the vaccination to propagate the disease --ostensibly trying to get ahead of its spread. (But, hey, I have a good imagination.) Watch out for the powers of the state to inject substances into you against your will "to protect the public."

The Fed’s actions are not mismanagement, but dys-management. They know what they’re doing; it’s part of a plan designed to continue the 100 years of financial hegemony by the elites and bankers and their (owned) politicos. From our perspective, they’re “making mistakes”; from their perspective, they’re “executing a plan.”
The big banks basically own the Fed. So, ask yourself, are the big banks worse off after the “Fed mismanagement” that culminated in the crisis of 2008? No, they’re BETTER off. Part of the plan.
I agree that when the next crisis hits, there will be a “manufactured villain” – Russians or Iranians or ISIS or Venezulans or Martians. And it will be done in a way that they can say paper currency is now “too easily manipulated” – so we MUST go to all-digital transactions (via which TPTB can monitor EVERYTHING).
I disagree that the internet will be taken down. It will merely be “MSM’d” – that is to say, just as the last vestiges of investigative journalism have been stripped from the mainstream media, the final assault on internet journalism will make today’s “fake news” meme look like kid gloves. The internet will still be there, but it will be exclusively for propaganda and commerce (and nonsense), as are all MSM outlets.
In the end, we end up in a fascist techno-neofeudalist society. Everyone has a cell phone and has a job. But the jobs are low-wage and no-benefit, and upward mobility is “who you know” not “what you know.”
As for inflation/deflation, that is a hard one to predict. Banksters supposedly hate deflation, but deflation makes their debt notes more valuable. So, do the really hate it? On the other side, the banksters are printing so much new money for themselves that they have to reflate enough to the rebalance the system (on the backs of us hoi-polloi working stiffs). I think it will be both deflation and inflation, AS THEY NEED THEM.

I’ve been saying that since 2005! But now I am more circumspect. I have come to understand that the elites/banksters are deep thinkers who are patient and play the long game. AND THEY CAN PRINT MONEY FOR THEMSELVES. Hard to compete with that.

The hoopla about measles in the news seems greatly out of proportion to its threat Quote:
If I were writing a novel about a small group engineering a great die off, I would ... The whole vaccine thing is out of control in my researched opinion. As a ND, I get alot of continuing education on the science behind vaccines, and it is scary. We are literally lab rats for the vaccine industry being coerced into a research project with no endpoint.
Nanoparticle aluminum (a necessary ingredient to stimulate immune response) used as an vaccine adjuvant is a neurotoxin, and infants in the first year of life get so many doses of aluminum containing vacines that for some at risk due to genetics or environmental factors it is causing unforeseen problems.
I think autism is multifactorial, and know of autistic children that have never been vaccinated, but aluminum likely is driving, in part, the growing epidemic. We are swapping one minor problem (the usual childhood diseases, that yes, did kill a very few but gave good strong sometimes lifelong immunity) for : fading immune protection over time, lack of immune globulins passed in breastmilk to infants as the mothers now longer had the real diseases as kids themselves, an epidemic of herpes zoster because adults are no longer around kids with chicken pox to boost the adults immune titers, and growing evidence this immune stimulation in shifting the Th1/Th2 immune balance increasing interleukin-6 (IL-6) cytokine expression and increasing incidence of auto-immune and neuro-inflammatory diseases like autism.
I am 58, and can see from the baby book my mother thoughtfully filled out for me, I got one dose oral polio, one dose smallpox and 2 DPT shots during my childhood. 4 doses total. I actually had measles, German measles and chickenpox. Children now get 54 doses by the time they are 18; in the first year alone they receive 17 doses! You can see the recommended CDC schedule here: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/downloads/parent-ver-sch-0-6yrs.pdf
I just heard a wonderful evidence based lecture by the pediatrician Paul Thomas MD. He has written a great book called the Vaccine Friendly Plan. He has treated 15,000 children over a 30 year career. He started tracking cases of autism in his practice and noted how many cases of autism in fully vaccinated vs friendly plan vs unvaccinated. I know correlation is not causation, but these numbers are pretty significant. 1100 vaccine friendly plan kids: 0 cases; 894 fully vaccinated kids: 15 cases of autism. That is 1 in 60 kids (nationwide average is 1 in 40 kids gets Autism spectrum disorder).
Personally, my son only had 4 doses: one of DPT (we drew titers and his immune response so good he did not need the other two shots); two for polio; and one MMR before he went to college (because it was mandatory!). If there had been a measles outbreak near me when he was young I would have taken him on a play date with some of those measly kids in hopes he got the disease and good strong lifelong immunity. I did so with chickenpox (and I got a boost in immunity being around him!) And don’t get me started on influenza shots. If you are not over 65 or have an underlying disease like Congestive heart failure or severe asthma or COPD, then they cause more harm (in the form of thimerosal…which is in the multi dose influenza as a preservative, and the aluminium adjuvant.)
AS a country we cannot afford to keep up with this grand experiment: the costs of caring for some of these severely injured kids is astronomical. The pharmacies are off the hook for the bill though as they have no liability…another example of privatizing the profits but socializing the risk. The vaccine compensation fund has paid out to date $4 billion. Not to mention the considerable pain and suffering caused by these injuries to the child and their caregivers.

Oh, boy, can I relate. As I posted here, I went on a major prepping binge in 2006-2010, and part of that included large food stocks. But I was too busy waiting for the crash to properly rotate the stocks, and a lot has gone to waste.
I’m more moderate now in my prepping, a la food storage – enough to get through a month or three, but not years. Those longer term goals may be realistic for some people, but it turns out I am just not that guy. In a crash, I’d be much better off that your average weekend grocery shopper – and I have built enough organic soil to grow a ton of food if we do get into a SHTF era – but at some point, the prepper drive in me faded and the “enjoy life” drive started to reassert itself. Along with the exhaustion! (Didn’t some famous wag coin the term “collapse fatigue”?)

Quoting statistics from 1912, a time when many children suffered from Vitamin A deficiency, other forms of malnutriton and lacked basic sanitation, makes measles seem more deadly than it was in more recent times before the vaccine. It is true measles can be deadly in these groups, but the mortality rate steadily declined..from 26/1000 cases to 1/1000 just before the introduction of the MMR. Any child with these above risk factors today, should be vaccinated, the benefits outwiegh the risks for sure, and the vaccine friendly plan takes this into account. It is not anti-vaccine, it is just vaccine rational. Healthy children in a smoke free environment with basic sanitation should be able to handle a case of the measles, and in the rare case they can not, then modern medicine has great interventions to prevent death.
From 1956 to 1960, an average of 450 measles-related deaths were reported each year (∼1 death/ 1000 reported cases), compared with an average of 5300 measles-related deaths during 1912–1916 (26 deaths/ 1000 reported cases) [2].May 1, 2004
From the same article Greendoc quoted:
Quote:
Measles is the greatest vaccine-preventable killer of children in the world today and the eighth leading cause of death among persons of all ages worldwide[13–14] The bigger picture, that most of the vocal PP’ers allude to in these posts, while expository, fails to address the larger subject of survival not for just a year, but well into the future.

Shifted to forum
First I want to support and agree with several things that Yoxa posted above–that the measles vaccine HAS been highly beneficial globally.
Second, I would like to clarify that I am not anti-vax. Before traveling to Africa or India, I would get Yellow Fever, Rabies and a Hep B booster. If I were not already measles immune from having the disease in childhood, I would probably get the measles vaccine myself before international travel. But not as an infant, and not as a combined MMR or MMR-V.
Third, to clearly acknowlege that the measles vaccine is extremely effective (~95%) and that the widespread use of the measles vaccine has transformed the public health landscape. Globally, the measles vaccine has had profound beneficial effects on public health.
Fourth, to ask people to be specific in whether they are talking about
1. global vs US figures (and don't mix them together) 2. which period in history 3. cases versus deaths. 4. reported cases and actual cases. (Measles was rarely reported in the 50s and 60s with actual cases outnumbering reported cases by 10 to 1. This affects the reported case-fatality ratio.) 5. to acknowled that even a beneficial intervention may have a cost.This topic is complex. Careful not to oversimplify (Good vs Bad). Some figures in the US, from an earlier time in history: This paper (Hinman AR, 1972, Resergence of Measles in New York) indicates the Case-Fatality Ratio for New York State over the time frame of 1910 to 1970. In 1910, 16 deaths per 10,000 measles cases. In 1950 - 60 time period, 6-8 deaths per 10,000 cases. What I am trying to point out with this is that death rates change with time period. I have come to value the website of Meryl Nass, a physician from Maine who is absolutely smart-as-stink. And she cares for vaccine injured patients. She blogs fairly extensively. She is not anti-vaccination, even though her work includes care for the vaccine injured.
What is the death rate from measles?By the time I had measles, in 1959, only one in 10,000 children died from it. See the following graph from a 1972 paper, which demonstrates that by 1945, there were minimal fatalities from measles. There is confusion about this. It is widely claimed that one in one thousand children with measles will die. Back in the 1950s and early '60s, about 500,000 measles cases were reported yearly, and there were an average 440 deaths. But about 4 million cases occurred yearly in the US, while most were not reported to authorities. Unlike today, there was no requirement to report cases of measles, nor did parents feel every child with measles needed to see a doctor. When only reported cases are considered, there is one death per thousand cases. But when all cases are considered, there was only 1 death in 10,000 cases of measles. However, in developing countries, where malnutrition is common and dehydration may go untreated, the death rate is considerably higher. In 1945, penicillin was only starting to be available, and modern ICUs and ventilators did not yet exist. Instead, simple care with adequate hydration kept people alive until they got over it. This is the usual therapeutic approach to viral illnesses. Here's the proof that it works, from Measles death:case ratios, New York State,1910–1969, by decade. Reprinted from Hinman AR. Resurgence of measles in New York. Am J Public Health 1972;62:498-503.

TPTB are no longer concerned about the masses. The ability to squeeze blood out of a turnip for “their” benefit has come and gone. When the ball finally drops they will be secure in their undisclosed locations.
When a new breakthrough was created to test vaccines for retroviruses, a test that found vaccines were contaminated with numerous viruses, the scientist was jailed, branded a quack, and stripped of her right to work and earn a living as a scientist.
Molecular bioloist Dr. Judy A. Mikovits was thrown in jail after discovering evidence that deadly retroviruses are transmitted through vaccines given to humans.
https://explainlife.com/scientist-jailed-after-discovering-deadly-viruse…
All the pharmaceutical industry wanted was to reject the science that vaccines can make you sick, and take ownership of the vaccine test. It was all about the money. And politicians did nothing. And the media did nothing.
IMHO diseases that were eradicated in the U.S. are being allowed to re-enter the country to allow pharmaceutical companies to make money, and make a U.S. citizenry who no longer trust the government sick. We are a nation in decline and “they” know the U.S. citizenry blames them.
Scenario:
An aging baby boomer population is blamed for economic disparity suffered by the younger population after a popular political figure demonizes them. Hitler blamed the Jews. TPTB will blame the boomers, because “they” will not take the fall for their own failures. And everybody is ill or sick from something because affordable healthcare no longer exist.
Our young people have been watching dystopia movies and playing dystopia video games for decades. Many may anticipate a free-for-all with spoils to the victor.
I had never seen this before. Thanks HappyCamper. Meshes well with many of the collapse novels though. This is a pretty well done movie reinactment of a devastating flu epidemic hitting a big city, interspersed with various experts explaining the mechanics of how social structures break down in stages, until every vestige of civilization is gone.
Kind of scary. But good to know.
Should something this bad actually happen, those in denial–those who are slow to catch on to the magnitude of the disruption–will be greatly hampered from coping well with the new situation.
if you look at all the failed FDA inspections and contamination reports from Vaccine pharma, its easy to see where the risks are coming from. Often Vaccines are contaminated with cleansers, metal, glass & plastics and other toxic materials. There is very little QC at vaccines companies and the FDA turns a blind eye, because the don’t want to shut them down, especially if there is a bad flu or risk of a panademic. Until regulators crack the whip, nothing is going to change.

I don’t see that happening. Too much of the economy is now dependent on the internet. Most companies rely of cloud services to run operations. Take down the internet and delivery trucks stop moving.
My current best guess scenerio is that a tipping point crisis, like 9/11 or Lehman won’t happen again. The Fed and other CBs will be much quicker in restarting QE to create lots of liquidity. Its possible there might be another recession this yesr (2019) but CBs will provide liquidity to prevent a deflationary crisis. I think the real crisis will begin when the CB’s are powerless to resolve theses problems: Demographics & declining energy resources, will likely see another bout of stagflation which wages fall and living costs creep up slowly squeezing people. We also lack sufficient younger workers with the appropriate skill sets in demand: Skill workers that are willing to get their hands dirty, maintaining industrial equipment and automated systems.
The other major threat is another global war as the US, Russia and China are locked into another cold war and arms race. Trump pulled the US out of the INF treaty this week. US is gearing up for war with Iran again, and probably has it eyes on Venezuela’s oil too. These are the last two remaing Oil prizes left. I am not sure how China & Russia will react when the USA controls all of the leading oil exporters. Since Iran has Nukes, war with Iran will be a nuclear war. US is hoping it can contain Iran’s nukes and is developing new low yeild nukes to take out Iran’s key targets which attempting collateral damage.
