Which is more dangerous – measles or the measles vaccine?

Governments and the obedient lapdogs in the mainstream press are currently going through one of their regular campaigns to persuade parents to have their children vaccinated against measles.

There are two sets of figures which the mainstream media never mention. So here are some hidden truths about measles and the measles vaccine. You probably won’t find these figures on the BBC which disapproves of anyone questioning vaccine safety or efficacy. (Remember, the BBC has stated that they would not interview anyone questioning the value of vaccination whether they were ‘right or wrong’. In my view, you won’t ever get the truth out of the BBC, which seems to me to be simply the propaganda unit for corrupt politicians and the drug companies. I believe the BBC should have been closed down years ago and the staff arrested for fraud and for spreading misinformation. It is my opinion that the world would be a healthier place if censors such as the BBC and YouTube didn’t exist.)

First, the number of deaths caused by measles.

This figure is clearly crucial to the argument.

The notifications of measles infections are surprisingly low. In 2023, for example, the number of notifications of measles was 1,619.

And the number of deaths is usually very low indeed.

In 2023, for example, three people died of measles. (Or, rather, since I heartily distrust official figures they died of or with it.) Two of those who died were adults (who may well have been very old) and one was a child who died from a rare type of infection caused by what is called a `defective’measles virus.

Second, we need to know the number of people injured or killed by the measles vaccine. Side effects can be nasty and include seizures (which may affect 1 in 1,000 of those vaccinated), swelling of the brain and fever.

The UK authorities are shy about sharing information about vaccine related deaths (how curious) but, as usual, the Americans are far more forthcoming.

In the decade 2015 to 2025, a total of 620 individual were hospitalised after being given the measles vaccine and in that decade there were 41 deaths caused by the vaccine. Also 244 children were left disabled. (Remember that these figures represent only a tiny percentage of the real total since doctors are reluctant to blame vaccines for anything. Remember too that I believe there may be long term effects of vaccination.)

In the years since 1989, there have been 258 deaths resulting from the measles vaccine.

Since measles is hardly a major killer, I do think that those figures should make everyone sit up and take notice.

Which is more dangerous – measles or the measles vaccine?

And, I repeat, you should remember that only a very tiny percentage of the total number of injuries and deaths caused by any vaccine are actually reported to the authorities. In most cases some other explanation is found. Doctors don’t like reporting vaccine deaths because they might get sued.

Oh, and remember that children who have been vaccinated against measles may still get it.

And there is something else too – there can sometimes be exceptional risks with any vaccine. So, for example, in Syria in 2014 there were 15 child deaths because of an error or accident with the vaccine. Those should still count as measles vaccine deaths – because they were.

As always I am not saying that you should or should not be vaccinated or have a child vaccinated. Everyone should make their own decision based on the available facts. I am just trying to provide figures which are usually ignored or suppressed by the mainstream media. (As I have discovered to my cost, telling the truth and sharing accurate information can be considered tantamount to a crime these days. It won’t be long before it is a crime. There are people who want truth telling to be regarded as a form of terrorism.)

If you want to more about vaccines and vaccination please read my book `Anyone who tells you vaccines are safe and effective is lying.’ You can find a copy in the bookshop on www.vernoncoleman.com Joe Biden’s White House wanted the book banned but it is still available.

The Hunger For Meaning

Bushman and Laurens van der Post

The Bushmen of the Kalahari speak of two kinds of hunger.

The Little Hunger is for food — the fire in the belly that must be fed to stay alive.

But then there is the Great Hunger.

The hunger for meaning.

The hunger that lives deeper than the stomach — in the chest, in the bones, in the quiet space behind your eyes.
It’s the ache to belong. To matter. To know why you are here.

Laurens van der Post, the man pictured here, spent years among the Bushmen — listening, learning, and trying to understand what we’ve forgotten in the modern world.

He wrote that the most dangerous thing in life isn’t sadness — it’s emptiness.

The slow, bitter erosion that comes from living without meaning.

We chase money. Status. Comfort.

We chase happiness as if it were the point.

But happiness is fleeting.

Meaning endures.

Because once you’re doing something that truly matters — something your soul recognizes as right — it doesn’t matter whether you feel good all the time.

You feel whole.

You feel connected.

You feel like you belong to something larger than yourself.
And in that belonging, even hardship becomes sacred.

This photo isn’t just a meeting between two men.
It’s a moment between two ways of being — one that remembers we are not only bodies to be fed, but spirits to be fulfilled.

Maybe that’s the real hunger we’ve been trying to feed all along.

Here are some tools to help you and those for whom you care to reveal your basic purpose in life: https://www.tomgrimshaw.com/tomsblog/?p=37862

Ticks and Eggs

Ticks and Eggs

If you see a small pile of jelly balls like this in your garden, set them on fire or destroy it by soaking it in isopropyl alcohol. Wear gloves if you handle the nest! There are hundreds of tick eggs inside it. Better to be safe than sorry.

Fruit: Your lungs’ secret weapon against air pollution

Woman and Apple

Groundbreaking research reveals a surprising defense against toxic air: eating more fruit could protect your lungs from pollution damage.

Scientists analyzed data from 200,000 participants in the UK Biobank and discovered that women eating four or more portions of fruit daily showed significantly smaller lung function declines when exposed to air pollution compared to those eating less fruit.

The numbers are striking: For every additional 5 micrograms in fine particulate matter (PM2.5), women with low fruit intake lost 78.1ml of lung capacity, while high fruit eaters lost only 57.5ml—a 26% difference!

The secret lies in fruit’s powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, which help combat the oxidative stress caused by polluted air. With over 90% of the global population breathing air that exceeds WHO safety guidelines, this simple dietary strategy could be a game-changer for respiratory health.

An apple a day might just keep the doctor away—and your lungs breathing easier in our polluted world!

I read some time back that a glass of water reduces overnight heart attacks by 40%. Have had one ever since. For those fearing more night time bathroom trips if they do that, here is a solution. I front load my daily water intake and rarely drink between 5 or 6 pm and 10 pm.
