Hvis noen skulle finne på å se denne galskapen, er det altså Dr Viera Schreibner som uttaler seg. Hun er doktor i geologi, ikke medisin. Fra Wikipedia: "In 1997, the Australian Skeptics awarded her the "Bent Spoon Award". This award is presented annually to the Australian "perpetrator of the most preposterous piece of pseudoscientific piffle".

 

Hun mener altså at meslinger var på retur lenge før vaksinen ble introdusert.

 

Ikke alle data støtter hennes teori, for eksempel ikke dette fra National Institutes of Health i USA:

 

"In 1920, the United States had 469,924 measles cases and 7,575 deaths due to measles. From 1958 to 1962, the United States had an average of 503,282 cases and 432 deaths each year. (Measles reporting began in 1912; prior to this time, no statistics are available.) In large cities, epidemics often occurred every two to five years.

 

When the measles vaccine came on the market in 1963, measles began a steady decline worldwide. By 1995, measles deaths had fallen 95 percent worldwide and 99 percent in Latin America. In the United States, the incidence of measles hit an all-time low in 1998, with 89 cases and no deaths reported."
