USA TODAY, September 2, 1988. Measly figure: Measles decreased 42% in the USA last year to 3,655 cases, reports the national Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta. That’s the first drop in four years since the record low of 1,497 cases in ’83. Nearly three-fourths of the cases were patients, mostly children, who’d been vaccinated but got measles anyway.
Note that USA Today points out that a whopping 75% of the measles cases in 1988 were in the vaccinated.
The CDC now states that its slogan “vaccines don’t cause autism” is not evidence-based because studies haven’t ruled out infant vaccines causing autism. The headline remains only due to a political agreement with a U.S. Senator who is also an MD.
