Friday morning, Free Now Foundation board member Dr. Jeffrey Barke posted a very important and timely video on the recent “outbreak” of measles in Texas that has been exaggerated in the mainstream media. Please take a few minutes to learn why “the real cause is of no concern.”

It is Friday, February 28. Informed Consent Friday.

 

This is gonna be a long format because there’s so much to discuss. I can’t cover it in just a second or two-minute reel. I want to talk to you about measles. We’ve all heard in the news about this outbreak of measles going on. The fear mongering is real, and the propaganda is overwhelming. So I wanted to review a few things about measles.

 

First of all, I’ve got the package insert; we’re going to review that in a minute. But here are some of the reasons why you should not allow this media frenzy to scare you once again, pushing fear over this outbreak in Texas. The real cause is of no concern. Let’s explore 20 reasons why you shouldn’t be concerned.

 

Number 1: Measles is rarely severe. While certainly very contagious, in the vast majority of healthy individuals, it resolves without complications. I had the measles when I was a kid along with chickenpox. There’s even a Brady Bunch episode where they all come home with measles. Natural recovery strengthens your long-term immunity. By the way, the current vaccination rate in Texas among school-age kids is 94 to 97%, way above the so-called threshold for herd immunity, yet here they go pushing the vaccine again.

 

Number 2: The mortality rate is extremely low. Less than 1% where there is normal nutrition and healthy children. It is very, very rare for there to be complications. Matter of fact, you hear about these kids being hospitalized, but here’s the reality. Most doctors are recommending hospitalization not because the kids are severely ill; they put them in the hospital to avoid transmission and, in effect, to isolate them. That’s why they’re being hospitalized, not because their health is actually compromised.

 

Number 3: Immunity is much superior to vaccine immunity. Measles provides lifelong immunity, unlike the vaccine, which wanes over time and requires multiple boosters. As a matter of fact, there’s a significant number of these measles kids in Texas that are fully vaccinated, showing further that vaccination is very ineffective.

 

Number 4: The media uses fear to push compliance. They exaggerate the complication rate, exaggerate the number of people who are coming down with measles, and the headlines rarely mention that most cases are mild and people fully recover without any kind of medical intervention.

 

Number 5: The measles vaccine is flawed and natural immunity strengthens the immune system. As a matter of fact, I read a study recently that natural immunity protects against certain types of cancers as well. It’s nutritional deficiencies, not measles, that cause complications, particularly when people are vitamin deficient. There’s a study out of Japan that looked at a single dose of 100,000 units of vitamin A for measles and RSV side effects, and it showed significant benefits.

 

Number 6: The cases were declining way before the vaccine hit the market. Why? Because of improved sanitation and nutrition practices.

 

Number 7: Vaccine shedding is real. Read the package insert. The live virus measles vaccine can result in viral shedding.

 

Number 8: Vaccinated individuals can still get measles, as we’re seeing in Texas.

 

Number 9: The MMR vaccine has real live safety concerns, including seizures, autoimmune issues, encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), and severe allergic reactions. We’ll look at the package insert in a minute.

 

Number 10: Industry profits. Remember that the vaccine companies that make the MMR vaccine are immune from all liability. If you’re injured from this vaccine, you have no recourse against the vaccine companies.

 

Number 11: Over-vaccination. By the time you reach high school in California, your natural immune system is weakened.

 

Number 12: If there is such a thing as immunity, it works best through natural infection, not vaccination.

 

Number 13: Outbreaks in highly vaccinated populations. We see it every year in California, New York, and now in Texas. The risk is over-exaggerated. The outbreaks are used to induce fear and compliance with the vaccination mandate.

 

Number 14: Vaccine mandates threaten your medical freedom. We should never mandate vaccines. If these vaccines are safe and effective, make the case to the people and let them decide with informed consent.

 

Number 15: Historical data proves measles is not a crisis. Routine childhood illness is not a public health emergency.

 

Number 16: Questionable ingredients in the MMR vaccine, including aborted fetal cell lines that raise ethical concerns. This is real, and religious exemption should be allowed, especially for this vaccine.

 

Number 17: The media has suppressed natural remedies that exist for viral illnesses, including childhood illnesses, viral illnesses like measles, chickenpox, etc. Vitamin A supplementation, homeopathy, and other holistic and homeopathic remedies have shown effectiveness.

 

Number 18: The measles panic is just a distraction. Why aren’t they telling you about the importance of good nutrition—making sure your vitamins and minerals are intact? We know that people who are nutritionally sound recover from measles without any complications.

 

Number 19: Finally, we need to learn how to trust our bodies’ natural defenses. I don’t think the measles vaccine or any other vaccine should ever be mandated or pushed upon people. Informed consent always.

 

Number 20: We need to teach people the importance of informed consent. Informed consent is the right of every individual to make decisions about their own health based on full knowledge of the facts, risks, and benefits involved. It is essential that we protect this right and ensure that individuals are empowered to make decisions for themselves, especially when it comes to vaccines and other medical interventions.

 

Now let’s look at the package insert for MMR. This is made by Merck. Here are a few things you should know from the listed adverse reactions. I’ll just read a few of them. They can cause atypical measles and shedding, pancreatitis, anaphylaxis (severe allergic reactions), encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), febrile seizures, Stevens-Johnson syndrome (the most extreme allergic reactions), and orchitis.

 

The MMR vaccine has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential or impairment of fertility. We’re going to put that inside our children?

 

The rubella part of the MMR vaccine is grown in WI-38 human diploid cells. What’s that? Well, they hide the name so you don’t know what’s in it, but this is tissue from an aborted female fetus at three months gestation. Look it up. WI-38 is tissue from an aborted three-month-old female fetus. Regardless of how you feel about abortion, you should know this and be able to make an informed decision.

 

There’s your update on measles. Comments are always appreciated, and as always, thank you for inviting me on your journey. If you got anything out of this video, please share it with your friends. Let’s have informed consent and teach people the truth.
