(Humans are Free) With the measles and measles vaccine debate reaching a near frenzy on the Internet, it is always nice to throw some cold hard facts on the firestorm currently raging in the measles debate.

So here are some easily verifiable facts regarding deaths associated with measles in the United States for the past 10 years, and deaths associated with measles vaccines during the same 10 year period.
First, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) keeps a weekly tally of disease outbreaks, including deaths.
According to a statement made by Dr. Anne Schuchat, the director of CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, in an Associated Press story picked up by Fox News on April 25, 2014:
There has been no measles deaths (sic) reported in the U.S. since 2003 [1]
The weekly CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports (MMWR) since that date have not revealed any measles deaths either. (*See edit below.)

And while health authorities are blaming measles outbreaks in recent years on unvaccinated children, when you mention the fact that nobody is dying from measles in the U.S., they are quick to turn around and claim vaccines have eliminated measles deaths (even though they cannot eliminate the disease itself apparently.)
Besides the obvious contradiction in reasoning with such a claim, the historical evidence just does not support it either:
Death by Measles Vaccines
What about deaths associated with the measles vaccine during the same time period?
The U.S. Government keeps a database of reports called The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The database is available to the public, and there is a search portal the public can use at Medalerts.org.
We ran a search for a ten year period for deaths reported with measles vaccines, including a few that are no longer in production.
The search result contained 108 deaths over this period, associated with four different measles vaccines sold in the United States during the past 10 years.
Today, one can only purchase a measles vaccine in combination with the mumps and rubella vaccines (MMR Vaccine).
When searching for just the MMR vaccine during the past 10 years, 96 deaths were reported:
Anybody with a computer and Internet access can search this database by visiting MedAlerts.org.
This database reflects only deaths that were reported during the time frame, and therefore probably reflects a much lower number than actual deaths, since most doctors and health authorities believe vaccines are safe, and would not normally attribute a death to a vaccine and actually report it.

The U.S. Government Settlements on Measles Vaccine Injuries
The other place to find facts regarding injuries and deaths due to the measles vaccine is to look at U.S. Government settlements for MMR vaccine injuries and deaths.
The U.S. public is largely unaware that manufacturers of vaccines have been given legal immunity from being prosecuted in civil court for vaccine injuries and deaths, since 1986.
If someone is injured or killed by a vaccine, they have to sue the U.S. Government in a special “vaccine court.”
The Department of Justice issues quarterly reports on claims and settlements, and one can search for specific vaccines settlements at the United States Federal Courts website.
As search here for “measles” returns a result of 111 claims settled for the MMR vaccine since 2004. Some of them are for settlements due to deaths related to the MMR vaccine, as determined by the judge.
We did not click on and read each decision to find out how many resulted in deaths, but if we get a few reports from others who are willing to do so, and the numbers match, we will update this story with the actual death figure.
It takes many years to win a case in this vaccine court, so this probably represents only a tiny fraction of actual injuries and deaths due to the MMR vaccine.
Conclusion: Measles Vaccine Enthusiasm based Largely on Fear and Beliefs
We fully realize that those who believe in the value of vaccines will probably not be persuaded by these facts, which anyone with a computer and Internet access can verify from U.S. Government sources.
Having now published a few stories on the measles issue, and having received many hundreds of comments, it has become very clear to us that those who have strong opinions on the measles vaccine are based more on fear and beliefs, than they are on facts or science. Any attempt by these vaccine proponents to force their beliefs on the rest of the U.S. public should be vigorously opposed.

1. Statement from Dr. Anne Schuchat, the director of CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases: Deaths from measles outbreak may be ‘inevitable’ as cases surge in US, Associated Press, published by Fox News on April 25, 2014.
* EDIT 1 – Since publishing this article, some have pointed out to us that some pro-vaccine sites are claiming that the CDC’s National Vital Statistics Reports show 2 deaths associated with measles for2009, and 2 deaths listed in the same report for 2010.
That would make 4 deaths due to measles according to the the CDC’s National Vital Statistics Reports, and not zero, as reported by the CDC’s Dr. Anne Schuchat in the Associated Press interview of 2014. Were her public statements in error?
Another reader has now sent us an email they received from the CDC, Division of Viral Diseases, stating that there has been no measles deaths in the U.S. since 2003. So that appears to be the “official” position of the CDC.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The preceding information reveals the corruption, malpractice and incompetence of mainstream medical institutions and related organizations. This information is important to comprehend so as to dispel any false trust you have with these institutions—which could cost you or your loved ones their life. That said, one should be intelligent with their health choices. We are not advocating for completely abandoning all modern medical services. We are simply encouraging you not to trust the system blindly. Be sure to ask plenty of questions, get second opinions, and do your own research as much as possible. We do not live in a world where one can blindly trust any government-dependent institution. With this hard truth firmly understood, one can begin the slow process of developing their own expertise insofar as health.

The 108 deaths due to vaccines is probably understated by at least a factor of 10 and probably much higher for the cabal is known for telling huge lies.
This was a very nice article but it is premised upon statistics which are misleading.
Using their own methodology of discernment which I like you need to back up to see the populations at issue.
How many people have been vaccinated over that 10 year period? 100 million? 200 million? And 100 deaths is therefore not even a statistical blip on the radar. Thus these reactions could be allergic reactions of the individuals the same as people dying from peanut allergies.
Next go to the other population, how many unvaccinated people are there in that 10 year people who have even been exposed to measles? None? 100? How many?
You see, you can’t die from measles if you are not exposed to it. And since 99% (just a guess) of the population of the US is vaccinated the fact no one died from it is hardly surprising.
If you showed the statistics for how many people die from being exposed to the measles and compare that to the percentage of people who die from receiving the vaccine — that is the TRUE COMPARISON.
You have been tricked by this article the way a magician tricks people with their distractions.
If you tell me that measles has a contagion rate of 20% of those exposed and 1% of those exposed die and multiply that by the number of people who have been given the vaccine then we have something to talk about.
Complications are usually more severe in adults who catch the virus. Between 1987 and 2000, the case fatality rate across the United States was three deaths per 1,000 cases attributable to measles, or 0.3%.
Before the measles vaccination program started in 1963, an estimated 3 to 4 million people got measles each year in the United States. Of these, approximately 500,000 cases were reported each year to CDC; of these, 400 to 500 died, 48,000 were hospitalized, and 1,000 developed encephalitis (brain swelling) from measles.
So multiply by 10 years and the results are 4,000-5,000 deaths versus 108 —- hmmmmmm. Still want to go without a vaccine?
Wow you guys cherry pick facts.
The death rate is staggeringly low for how many get infected. Then consider the side effects of the vaccine, which turns one into a carrier. To a well trained scientist, this suggests that other methods, such as the ones we’ve used for thousands of years, are far more effective.
The efficacy of the vaccine is deplorable. And the side effects on health are not worth compromising.
