Death of Unvaccinated Toddler from Measles in Jerusalem; Four Deaths This Past Week

An unvaccinated toddler died yesterday from measles. This is the sixth death related to measles since the outbreak started, with four of the cases happening in the past week. All six children were under two and a half years old.

28.09.2025

 

"The Ministry of Health reports that an unvaccinated toddler died yesterday from measles. This is the sixth death since the outbreak began, with four of the cases occurring in the past week. Measles is a highly contagious and life-threatening viral illness. If symptoms appear, it is important to inform healthcare professionals right away so they can provide treatment in case complications develop. Measles is preventable with a safe and effective vaccine.

...

Current outbreak areas: Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh, Bnei Brak, Harish, Modi’in Illit, Nof HaGalil, Kiryat Gat, and Ashdod.

...

As of today, 24 measles patients are hospitalized, most of them children under age six who were not vaccinated. Seven of these children are in intensive care. [emphasis added]

Part of a broader pattern and trend amid declining measles vaccination rates driven by anti-vaxer misinformation:

 

Measles surge continues in Americas, with outbreaks in 10 nations

 

August 15, 2025

 

"More than 10,000 cases, 18 of them fatal, have been reported across 10 countries in the Americas this year, with the pace of infections 34 times higher than a year ago, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) said today, urging countries to step up their vaccination, surveillance, and outbreak responses. [emphasis added]

 

In a news release, PAHO said the outbreaks are mainly linked to low vaccination coverage, with 89% of cases occurring in people who are unvaccinated or have unknown vaccination status. Though the region saw a slight rise in measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine coverage from 2023 to 2024, at 89% for the first dose and 79% for the second dose, the levels are still below the 95% level recommended to prevent outbreaks.

...

Mennonite groups affected in multiple countries

 

Canada has the highest total in the region, with 4,548 cases, followed by Mexico (3,911) and the United States (1,356). Paraguay is the latest country to confirm measles cases, with other affected ...countries being Bolivia, Argentina, Belize, Brazil, Peru, and Costa Rica. 

...

“Keeping measles at bay in the Americas remains a challenge, as the virus continues to circulate widely in other parts of the world and vaccine-hesitant groups are spread throughout the region,” PAHO said. It noted that, of nearly 240,000 suspected and about 108,000 confirmed cases reported globally this year, the eastern Mediterranean region makes up the highest portion, at 35%, while Africa and Europe each account for 21%."

This is all very confusing........our leading medical experts on here have assured us all there are no such things as viruses......and there are certainly no contagious diseases of any kind..... very odd.

Phoenix assured us vaccines were a bad thing? should we disregard what he says?

Measles updates from the U.S.:

 

"Measles has been quiet in the headlines, but cases continue to climb. The annual U.S. count now stands at 1,527 confirmed cases—the highest in 30 years. Utah and Arizona are experiencing a single confirmed outbreak that has spread across state borders and is growing exponentially: [emphasis added]

• Utah: 44 cases. Wastewater testing has detected measles in several counties, indicating that the disease is more widespread than previously thought.

• Arizona: 52 cases. Kindergarten vaccination rates are low in the two elementary schools impacted (MMR vaccination rates are 7% and 40%)."

CDC confirms 23 more US measles cases as 2025 total tops 1,500

September 25, 2025

 

"In its weekly measles update, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said there are now 1,514 confirmed measles cases in the United States reported this year, with 23 new cases reported in the past week.

 

Eighty-six percent of the cases have been part of 40 outbreaks reported to the CDC. Of note, 92% of case-patients are unvaccinated or have unknown vaccination status, 4% have only one measles, mumps, and rubella dose, and 4% were fully vaccinated. [emphasis added]

 

Twelve percent of cases have required hospitalization, with 29% of those hospitalized aged 19 years or younger. There have been 3 confirmed measles deaths this year.

National Foundation for Infectious Diseases:

 

Measles can be serious:

• "About 1 in 5 unvaccinated people in the US who get measles will be hospitalized (the risk is higher in children younger than age 5 years)
• 1 out of every 1,000 people with measles will develop brain swelling, which could lead to brain damage
• As many as 1 in 20 children with measles will get pneumonia
• 1-3 out of 1,000 people with measles will die, even with the best care

https://www.nfid.org/infectious-disease/measles/

 

yeah, measles can lead to brain damage.

scary stuff.

US measles total climbs to 1,544 as cases spike in Minnesota

October 2, 2025

 

"In its latest weekly update today, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported 30 more measles cases, putting the national total at 1,544, a record high since the United States eliminated the disease in 2000. [emphasis added]

 

Two more outbreaks were reported, bringing the total to 42. The CDC said 86% of cases are linked to outbreaks, and 92% of patients are unvaccinated or have an unknown vaccination status. The number of affected jurisdictions remained the same, at 42.

And what?

You're quoting a 2019 study from the U.S. on the leading causes of death among young people.

 

But thanks to effective vaccination campaigns, the U.S. officially eliminated measles back in 2000 and kept it that way in ensuing years...

 

Until the anti-vaxer movement gained traction during the COVID pandemic, childhood measles vaccination rates began falling, and measles is now roaring back in the U.S. (and elsewhere) -- the most U.S. cases in two-plus decades, in just the first nine months of this year....

 

Are you rooting for there to be more?

Why worry about the 200th cause of death but ignore the others? Makes no sense.

I think he's trying to make the argument that the measles vaccination campaigns in the U.S. were so successful that they led in past years to measles no longer being a significant cause of youth fatalities in the U.S.

 

And, if that's his point, I'd certainly agree about that!   But now the game is changing...for the worse.

The data shows a big drop in deaths between 1920 and 1940 pre vaccine!

So hygiene, better access to clean water and living standards.

I had measles. Didnt kill me. 

Hard truth but it's actually a good thing kids from anti-vax families are dying off. If not likely they'll grow up to be half-wits like their folks causing problems for the rest of us.

'On the precipice of disaster': Measles may be endemic in 25 years if vaccine uptake stays low, model predicts

April 24, 2025

 

"Without a 5% higher measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination rate, measles may revert to endemicity in the United States within 25 years, while a 10% decline in vaccination could lead to 11.1 million cases of the highly contagious illness in that timeframe, according to predictions from a simulation model published today in JAMA. 

 

Also today, the World Health Organization (WHO); UNICEF; and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance warn that burgeoning outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases threaten to reverse years of progress.

...

If routine childhood vaccination fell by 50%, 51.2 million measles cases, 9.9 million cases of rubella, 4.3 million cases of polio, and 197 cases of diphtheria could occur over 25 years. 

 

Under this scenario, 51,200 cases of postmeasles neurologic sequelae, 10,700 cases of congenital rubella syndrome, 5,400 cases of paralytic poliomyelitis, 10.3 million hospitalizations, and 159,200 deaths may occur. Measles may become endemic within 4.9 years and rubella by 18.1 years, while polio may return to endemic levels within 19.6 years.

Prior to the vaccine it only killed 400 to 500 pa. That's tiny compared to other causes.

Yes, let's tell the truth:

 

 

"This is important because the infection has profound effects, even if you survive: hospitalizations, hearing loss, immune amnesia (i.e., wiping your immune system memory of all viruses), and other long-term consequences. Death is not the only outcome we want to avoid.

...

So, sanitation and nutrition did make a big impact on reducing measles mortality, but they didn’t do the whole job. When the vaccine was invented, it allowed us to eliminate measles from the U.S."  [until lately...]
