Samoa’s government said Monday that another five children had died within the past day from a measles outbreak, bringing the death toll from the epidemic to more than 50 as authorities race to vaccinate the entire population.
Samoa declared a national emergency last month and mandated that all 200,000 people living on the South Pacific island nation get vaccinated. The government has closed all schools and banned children from public gatherings.
In all, 53 people have died in the outbreak since late October, including one adult and two older teenagers. Most of those who have died have been babies and young infants, including 23 children aged less than 1 and 25 children aged between 1 and 4.
The government said more than 1,100 people have been admitted to hospitals since the outbreak began and about 180 people remain hospitalized. Among those hospitalized are 19 children who are in critical condition.

I love you.

My daughter had a measles vaccination. Then, later, developed the worst case of measles anyone ever saw. While sick, she fell and hurt her head, needed stitches, but the emergency room wouldn’t let her in because....she had measles. Had to find a doc who lived in the neighborhood and he stitched her up at home.
So.....I NEVER get vaccinations. Also never get sick.
I assume that this is the “other” Samoa...not American Samoa.
Historically more men died of measles during the Civil War than did those that died from battle injuries and wounds.
I havent seen that many of the debunkers actually have autistic children
I do - adopted
And even as a teen his behaviors and demeanor changed for the worse within days of a vaccination
At some point arguing about thousands of “coincidences” just gets lamer
You Laugh.
alphabet soup networks spewing that line of used horse food in 3.....2...1....
Plus no natural immunity of sorts like Europeans have.
I know some of those common childhood diseases wiped out whole villages of indigenous peoples when they were exposed to them.
I don't know why people react to any issue without facts
Okay - it’s been shown that vaccinations do not cause autism.
Poor kids. RIP.
“anti-vaxers.”
You behave like a lib with that crap.
It’s not the vaccines per se which are the problem, but the schedule. But according to brain farts like you I merit a derogatory label when I’m critiquing bad medical and industrial medicine practices.
Furthermore, in this case you denigrate a society & culture about which you know absolutely nothing...just like a millennial.
Grow up.
Have a nice day, boy.
dear God.....
A built up blood level of vitamin d (cumulative over time well before exposure) ensures the baby or child will not get the worst case and will survive just fine.
Once exposed, and especially once sick, vitamin a will cure the measles.
People who object to the primitive neurotoxic formulations of vaccines, the early pre-immune system infant schedules of vaccines, and the combining of vaccines or doses, are called anti-science! What a joke.
Ummm - if one skips his own child’s vaccination, how will it “kill 52 or 71 other children” unless they also skipped the vaccination?
If one believes in vaccinations for everything, that one should be able to get them all and fear nothing....

24 kids were too young to have completed their vaccinations. Also, some people have compromised immune systems, and maybe CAN’T get vaccinated; they’re made safe by “herd immunity” unless too many in the herd are still passing the virus around.
Lastly, as long as the virus is kicking around because anti-vaxers refuse vaccines, it still poses a threat to mutate into something more dangerous, and people still need to continue to get vaccinated... which, yes, does carry minor downside risks.
