A false argument heard again and again by opponents of vaccination: vaccinated children also get measles, which is why vaccination is pointless.
The most important thing about measles despite vaccination in brief:
- Supposedly children get “tons” of measles, which is why vaccination is pointless
- Vaccinations are also dangerous and would trigger autism, for example
- Only 3 percent of vaccinations don't work, and the autism study has long been exposed as a fake
This is how relevant sites that repeatedly copy a particular article from each other say they “admitted” (Who admitted?) that vaccinated children “got measles in heaps” (How big is the heap?). But since people didn't really want to admit this, the authorities always blamed the measles outbreaks on unvaccinated children.
However, the article continues, infections are necessary in order to be able to build up a stable immune system. Children would have to get measles between the ages of 3 and 7, which would normally be without complications, and there would also be an increased risk of autism with vaccinations.

The fact check
That article contains a lot of claims, which are not substantiated. It is worth mentioning only one link in it, which we will discuss below.

Do vaccinated children become infected with measles and spread it further?
This is actually possible, although not “in heaps” as the article claims.
After the first MMR vaccination you already have a measles immunity of 93 percent , after the second vaccination it is 97 percent . Conversely, this means that 3 percent of all vaccinated people can still become infected with measles. It is not clear why the double vaccination failed in the 3 percent, but at least the illnesses in these people are much milder.
You have to let the insanity of the article melt in your mouth, because what they say is:
“Measles vaccinations are only 97 percent protective, so we’d rather avoid them altogether.”
With this unbeatable logic, you can also do without condoms ( “I could get a rubber allergy ”) and seat belts ( “Maybe it gets stuck in an accident and I can’t get out of the car” ), but they aren’t 100 percent safe either!
Incidentally, children with vaccination protection have for a few days , but the immune system prevents the viruses from spreading to the tonsils, from where they could be transmitted to other people.
And what about the case mentioned?
This is the only legitimate link in the oft-copied article, because there was actually a measles outbreak in New York City in 2011, in which a man got the measles despite being vaccinated twice. Of the 88 people with whom he came into contact, 4 people who were also vaccinated twice against measles became infected. Of the 231 people who had contact with the secondary patients, none became infected.
The conclusion of the documented case is that although one cannot make a definitive assessment, for example nothing is known about the quality of the vaccine that the people received, in the future one should pay attention to the duration of immunity and also examine vaccinated patients using more detailed methods .
In the end, it is a single transmission episode that has been medically documented due to its rarity, but which those articles cite as ultimate evidence.

Conclusion
In the end, the article listed above is one of the typical anecdotes: “There was a case like that, and vaccinations aren’t 100 percent safe anyway, so it’s better to leave it alone .
The article is then spiced up with many unfounded claims, no numbers at all (3 percent = tons) and of course the famous “vaccinations cause autism” argument according to Andrew Wakefield, whose study has long been exposed as a fake .
