"There are some easy figures which the simplest must understand, but the astutest cannot wriggle out of." --Disraeli (ref)

[Measles deaths (from 1901/2, averaged) declined by 99.4% before vaccination in 1968!  This proves vaccination played no part in the decline, yet parents are meant to believe (as shown by the Dr Siegal quote below) that vaccination was the ONLY factor.]

[The big measles lie]  "It (measles) is ONLY not a big killer in the United States because of the MMR vaccine."---Dr Marc Siegal. (Feb 3, 2010 Fox News)

"The measles death decline graph provided shows that the measles vaccine had nothing to do with the decline in deaths, and has not affected the number of children hospitalised during epidemic years since its introduction."----MEASLES : THE REAL FACTS-----HILARY BUTLER

Vaccination against measles was introduced in 1968 but abandoned because of lack of effectiveness and unpleasant side effects. A new, more potent, live vaccine was introduced in 1974 and is now being given to about 50 per cent of children aged 1-2. Whooping Cough vaccination--Prof Gordon Stewart (1980)
