A toddler has died from measles in Berlin, Germany, amid the worst measles outbreak the city has seen since 2001.
The 1½-year-old boy from the Berlin borough of Reinickendorf (http://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/totes-kleinkind-in-berlin-gesundheitssenator-plaediert-fuer-impfpflicht-bei-masern/11410800.html) was sent to the hospital on February 18 and died later that day, the German newspaper Deutsche-Welle reports (http://www.dw.de/toddler-dies-of-measles-in-germany-as-outbreak-fears-grow/a-18274687http://www.dw.de/toddler-dies-of-measles-in-germany-as-outbreak-fears-grow/a-18274687). He had not been vaccinated against measles, Mario Czaja, chief of Berlin’s health ministry, told reporters on Monday (http://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/totes-kleinkind-in-berlin-gesundheitssenator-plaediert-fuer-impfpflicht-bei-masern/11410800.html).
There have also been reported cases in Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt (http://www.bundesgesundheitsministerium.de/ministerium/meldungen/2015/masern-impfung.html), according to the German Ministry of Health. Health officials in Germany are now discussing the possibility of making the measles vaccine mandatory.
Try Newsweek for only $1.25 per week (http://www.newsweek.com/trial)
"This case also shows that it is in measles is a serious disease," said Czaja, referring to the child’s death. "I am for compulsory vaccination."
Everyone who came into contact with the toddler has been examined, said Czaja.
German Health Minister Hermann Gröehe said the “irrational fear-mongering of some vaccination-foes is irresponsible” and said they threaten the lives of those with serious health problems who cannot be vaccinated.
“The vaccination gaps in Germany are still too large,” Gröehe said in a statement (http://www.bundesgesundheitsministerium.de/ministerium/meldungen/2015/masern-impfung.html). Berlin’s vaccination rate is currently around 95 percent, AFP reports (http://news.yahoo.com/toddler-dies-measles-germany-says-health-official-002917361.html). National measles vaccination rates in the U.S. are around 92 percent (http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/imz-managers/coverage/nis/child/figures/2013-map.html), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The E.U. is working to eliminate measles by the end of 2015 (http://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/healthtopics/measles/Pages/index.aspx), a feat that may now be considerably more difficult due to this outbreak. The death of the toddler is the first measles-related death in Germany since 2013, when a teenage boy succumbed to the disease, The Local reports (http://www.thelocal.de/20150223/measles-cancels-classes-at-berlin-school).
Measles cases have been reported in Berlin since last October and have were originally blamed on unvaccinated refugees living in the city, mainly from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia (http://www.thelocal.de/20150205/berlin-counts-254-new-cases-of-measles-in-2015-alone-mmr-vaccine). There have been 574 reported measles cases in Berlin since October and at least two of those cases allegedly originated from the measles outbreak that began in a California Disney theme park last December. There was also an outbreak in the city of Leipzig in this month (http://www.lvz-online.de/leipzig/citynews/masern-ausbruch-in-leipzig-bereits-21-kinder-in-kitas-und-schulen-erkrankt/r-citynews-a-275388.html).
The anti-vaccination movement in Germany—like that in the U.S. and U.K.—has been driven by fears of a purported link between autism and the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine, The Guardian reports (http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/feb/23/german-health-official-mandatory-measles-vaccinations-child-dies). That theory originated in a now-retracted 1998 Lancet study, authored by Andrew Wakefield (http://www.newsweek.com/2015/02/20/andrew-wakefield-father-anti-vaccine-movement-sticks-his-story-305836.html), that has since been debunked in a number of studies.
In the current outbreak sweeping the U.S., more than 150 people have been diagnosed with measles. The numbers are particularly striking in context: more people were infected with measles in the first month of 2015 (http://www.newsweek.com/january-2015-saw-more-measles-cases-all-2012-304089) than in the entirety of 2012.

its amazing that there is a vaccination conference going on right at the same time there is an outbreak. It's also amazing how you can use statistics to suit your own goals.

Ah, since when? I am pretty sure he came out and said it was true and he got stabbed in the back by the woman he worked with on that report. So It's amazing how you can just out and out lie.

The entire west is on the same propaganda page. Notice any similarities with those signs?

Edit: WTF? World leaders save 6,000,000 lives?

I saw that sign in the demonstration picture too. All the signs are printed in the same style. Soros is at it again!

YES!

Stupid ass people are everywhere.

One death? Greatest outbreak leads to just one death? How many died from abortion there in the last month? How many died from medical malpractice? How many died from incorrect drug use? How many died in car crashes?

Irrelevant. We're focusing on vaccines here man. Get with the program.

/sarcasm

Sorry using sheep logic again. :-/

[Twisted Titan]

I will wager my entire stash of three mercury dimes

This kid had other medical issues at the time of death.

Something supressed his immune system.

At the time of birth they are ready to stick you with a vitamin k and hep B

I wonder if he had a reaction?

But i guess im thinking too much.

Stupid ass people are everywhere.

Those people with the pre-printed signs begging world leaders to save 6 million lives, are not there because they are stupid, they are there because they are payed by that list of billionaire Zionists and illuminatists, that I posted above, payed them to be there, they think it is a wise career choice mostly. They don't mind a career sucking Satans cock!

I guess you are right.... except that they are still stupid ass people.

Apologies to this smarter-than-people ass....

I've never understood this. Unless the infant is going to be sharing needles and having anal sex why the hep B shot???

Making a rash decision on measles
KATIE HAMPSON

It all begins with a mother being called to pick her son up early from primary school. He has a high temperature and a dry cough and she makes the call to visit the family GP on the way home. By the time the doctor examines him, a blotchy rash is beginning to appear on the boy's hairline. He is confident in his diagnosis.

On the other side of the door, the waiting room is heaving with patients, including a mother who has brought her baby daughter in for her first round of vaccinations. She feels anxious about it, naturally, but reminds herself how much worse she would feel should her daughter be left exposed to the illnesses she is being inoculated against, let alone leaving others exposed.

Meanwhile, the doctor notifies the health department that a young boy has presented to his clinic with measles, setting a series of community alerts in motion.

His mother had opted not to vaccinate her son during his childhood, citing personal belief.

And in Germany an 18-month-old boy has died of measles this month, the first known death in an outbreak of more than 570 cases in Berlin since October.

The boy was not immunised against measles. An autopsy showed he had an unspecified medical condition but it would not have led to his death without the measles infection.

And the measles infection came from? No one knows. Maybe other "immunized" kids.

That is almost verbatim the argument i used at the hospital when they tried to jab my baby.

I said since i havent left her side i am certain that she hasnt taken drugs or had unprotected sex so im going to pass on that shot.

The boy was not immunised against measles. An autopsy showed he had an unspecified medical condition but it would not have led to his death without the measles infection.
But any other type of infection could have killed him too. From my field of work, I see most people with an acute disc hernia, got it from a very minor type of trauma, like sneezing, bending forward to pick up a pen, taking a baby chair out of a car, or just rotating to get out of a car. However the problem wasn't doing those things, the problem was that the disc was weakened, to the point of breaking, by many years of faulty biomechanics... The trigger is merely the little drop that makes the glass flow over.

It is very interesting they are shouting the heads off of the trigger of this toddlers death, measles, but they don't say what the underlying condition is!

Me too, and boy were they miffed when confronted by the truth of it all.

Because if they tell you the whole spook properganda collapses

Just like a patient that has kidney failure but has heart attack and dies.

The cause of death can be either or depending on the way the hospital wants to recognize the fataity and they will play all manner of games with designation


So the fact they wont release the underlying condition screams of conspiracy

And the fact the doctor was able to declear the underlying condition didnt killl him but the measeles did (something that is harmless for the most part) screams it even louder

[Spectrism]

You had that one nailed from the beginning TT! Nice call.

You can be sure that if the child had died after getting the measles vaccine, the cause would have been declared to be the "unspecified medical condition", not the vaccine.
