Do you know why we are seeing so many more babies being born with measles (congenital measles) than we did before we had a measles vaccine?
If you do, then you are a lot smarter than the folks at Children’s Health Defense, the organization that RFK, Jr founded.
Children’s Health Defense Doesn’t Understand Why We Are Seeing Babies With Congenital Measles
What do they think is causing the rise in cases of congenital measles?
“The measles vaccine wiped out that natural cycle and brought with it inferior protection compared to naturally acquired protection, Jablonowski said.”

Measles vaccines, of course.
Dr. Ben Edwards, an integrative medicine family practitioner who successfully treated over 300 cases of measles during the West Texas measles outbreak and runs a private practice serving roughly 2,000 patients, said that before the MMR vaccine, measles was a “routine childhood illness” in which over 99% of children overcame it with “no problem, resulting in robust, permanent and life-long immunity.”
During that era, “practically all pregnant mothers had measles in their youth,” he said. The mothers passed along protective antibodies to their babies in the womb, which protected the babies during the “more vulnerable first year of life.”
As the baby grew up and the level of maternal antibodies faded, the child would get measles sometime in the first decades of life and develop its own robust, lifelong immunity.
“It’s really a beautifully designed natural immunization process — but we’ve lost that because of the measles vaccine program,” Edwards said.

They think that measles vaccines are somehow preventing pregnant women from passing immunity on to their babies.
What’s the problem with their thinking?
All the pregnant women with measles are unvaccinated!
Sure, before we had measles vaccines, most pregnant women would have likely already had measles and been immune. But that natural immunity was earned! At best, they suffered through a week or more of measles symptoms, but of course, many didn’t survive to have babies of their own.
Remember, before we had measles vaccines, around 400 to 500 people would die each year from measles.
And then, once we did have a vaccine, we did not see any congenital measles because, like everyone else, most pregnant women were typically vaccinated and protected. They didn’t get measles, and they passed on immunity to their babies until they were old enough to get vaccinated.
What else?
“For the first time in a generation, American babies are being born infected with measles and the science told us this was coming,” said Michelle Perro, a pediatrician. “The vaccine program didn’t eliminate measles — it shifted the risk to the most vulnerable: newborns and the pregnant women carrying them.”

Anti-vaccine influencers are responsible.
They are the ones who have scared people away from getting vaccinated, destroyed our herd immunity levels of protection in many areas, and allowed measles to hit at-risk communities.
Anti-vaccine influencers created this problem and now they are trying to spin it as being caused by the measles vaccine…
A problem that has led to at least two deaths this year, including a 21-year-old who suffered complications after giving birth at home and a newborn baby that died at a birthing center.
A problem that will go away if everyone gets vaccinated and protected and stops listening to anti-vaccine influencers.
CHD should be banned!!!
