As if the twisted logic of the anti-vaccine movement making untrue statements that vaccines cause autism or are not safe, now comes one of their revolting, propaganda pieces that has been circulating over the internet since the measles outbreak in California. According to Yahoo Parenting, Melanie’s Marvelous Measles is making the rounds around the internet in which the book tells the story of a young, vaccinated girl named Melanie who contracts measles and likes it.

The book is authored by a mother of three out of Australia back in 2012. The author claims she wrote it to demonstrate the benefits of having measles and how to get well naturally. She is quoted as saying:

“Often today, we are being bombarded with messages from vested interests to fear all diseases in order for someone to sell some potion or vaccine, when, in fact, history shows that in industrialized countries, these diseases are quite benign and, according to natural health sources, beneficial to the body.”

One of the biggest lies in the book is the claim that it is hard to catch measles. As anyone in California or other states infected with measles that it was quite easy to do so. Also, the author has to gaul to make it seem like vaccinated children will get illnesses while unvaccinated ones don’t as per not only Melanie being vaccinated but her unvaccinated classmates do not. It also talks up homeopathic remedies such as purporting that drinking melon-and-carrot juice will help cure the disease while stating contracting measles will make people stronger.

This piece of literature isn’t just pure garbage it is confirmation literature with people who have a death wish. Vaccines are made to help boost a person’s immune system to help ward off sickness so people do not have to suffer or even die from catching illnesses like small pox or measles. According to Dr. Jim Sears who was interviewed for the Yahoo Parenting news report, a few other terrible side effects of catching measles is pneumonia and encephalitis, swelling of the brain, that can result in deafness or mental retardation. I wonder what the author’s views are about polio.

The sinister intent of anti-vaccine groups isn’t to help people live and survive diseases normally treated with immunization but to ensure they and everyone else suffers. Environmentalists are friendly to anti-vaccination and, not surprisingly, it makes sense that greens have had some influence since their ultimate aim is to make life on Earth for humans a living hell if not eradicate human life itself.
