Narrative abstract: Increasingly, cases of measles are being reported by mainstream media. At the time of preparing this editorial US Health officials say this year’s US measles epidemic has surpassed 1,000 illnesses which is already the highest in 27 years. However there are claims that the 10-year rolling average suggests measles is not making a comeback. In Australia a sustained slide in reported in routine child immunisation rates is raising alarm as data reveals under-vaccination of one-year-olds has spread from 11 to 53 regions, opening the door to more widespread infectious disease outbreaks.
Dr Blum has prepared this Editorial as a report of his closer look at he topic from his perspective as an active Chiropractic practitioner in suburban USA. He reports findings which give a context on measles and vaccination to assist his reading of The Measles Book: Thirty-Five Secrets the Government and the Media Aren’t Telling You about Measles and the Measles Vaccine, published by the Children’s Health Defense. He brings a calm approach to a hot-topic issue.
