Re: “the measles vaccine, chicken measles, human measles… are all the same”.
Actually the measles vaccine isn’t the same…
In Australia for instance the taxpayer-funded National Immunisation Program lists the Merck MMR II or GSK Priorix vaccine containing measles, mumps and rubella.
For instance, here’s the GSK Priorix Product Information:
PRIORIX is a live virus vaccine for immunisation against measles, mumps and rubella. PRIORIX is a sterile lyophilised mixed preparation containing the attenuated Schwarz measles virus strain, the RIT 4385 strain of mumps virus (derived from the Jeryl Lynn strain) and the Wistar RA 27/3 rubella virus strain. Each virus strain is separately obtained by propagation in either chick embryo tissue cultures (mumps and measles) or MRC5 human diploid cells (rubella).
Each 0.5 mL dose of the reconstituted vaccine contains not less than 103.0 CCID50 (cell culture infectious dose 50%) of the Schwarz measles, not less than 103.7 CCID50 of the RIT 4385 mumps and not less than 103.0 CCID50 of the Wistar RA 27/3 rubella virus strains. The. three virus strains are mixed prior to lyophilisation.
The manufacture of this product includes exposure to bovine derived materials. No
evidence exists that any case of vCJD (considered to be the human form of bovine
spongiform encephalopathy) has resulted from the administration of any vaccine product.
PRIORIX meets the World Health Organisation requirements for manufacture of biological substances and for measles, mumps and rubella vaccines and combined vaccines (live).
List of excipients with known effect
PRIORIX also contains the excipient ingredient phenylalanine and residual amounts of neomycin sulphate, which is carried over from the manufacturing process.
For the full list of excipients, see Section 6.1 LIST OF EXCIPIENTS.
Well done, even I understood it all.
Thanks for this interesting article.

End of quote
I had to restrict the article to the original strains for brevity... But you make a good point. At what point does this become GoF research?
Very, very, very well said!
Wow, what an outstanding post. Topnotch.
Bravo!! What a terrific & terrible education from the history of the measles shot.
Growing up in a family of 6 separated by 6 years, we were all exposed to childhood diseases when one got it, we all got it.
Little girls who developed Measles did not of develop Cancer of the Uterus as adult women
Oof the trolls are all over this post aren't they?
Yes, because you posted a well referenced and thoughtful article. I was wondering when the vaccine nazis were going to come out.
Absolute pleasure! Thank you for the positive feedback!!
