No Menta, they are misinformed opinion pieces, not science.
Do you dispute the fact that there were DEATHS in Samoa from Measles : 83 Deaths in Samoa from Vaccination : 0 ( Zero, Zip, Zip, Nada) Why are you scared to answer?
These are not doctored numbers from an anti-science website, they are freely available from a number of sources.
It is the result of the most successful anti-vaccination campaign in recent history (based on un-vaccinated % population ) and the current impact on Samoa :
Deaths : 83 Infections : 5697
Deaths as % of population : 0.04% Infections as % of population : 2.85%
Hospitalisations (Still in) : 20 Hospitalisations (Total) : 1860 Current Hospitalisations as % of infection : 0.35% Total Hospitalisations as % of infection : 32.65%
....as at 6 Jan, 2020
The Australian equivalence is shown in anattempt to help those of an anti-vaccination belief system to feel empathyfor others by offering an example where they can conceive the magnitude of the impact.
If the same situation occurred in Australia : Deaths : 10,375 Hospitalized (Total) : 232,500 Infections :712,125
This is what can happen to a population with high levels of unvaccinated individuals
Scientifically, there is no debate. The measles vaccine is effective. Most of those who contract measles, unsurprisingly, are those who are unvaccinated.
If you are an anti-vaccination proponent, then you are responsible for the deaths and misery that has been happening in Samoa.
And that is the Truth About Vaccines
