Health bureaucrat says low jab rates puts NZ at risk of measles outbreak

Measles news

The country is at risk of a measles outbreak due to low immunisation rates, a health bureaucrat warns, following confirmation of a new case linked to overseas travel.

The infected individual, a Fullers ferry staff member, may have exposed others in Auckland, including at Woolworths Kelston and during ferry sailings between the CBD and Devonport on 5 May.

Health NZ spokesperson Susan Jack told state-funded legacy media the country’s 80% vaccination coverage falls short of the 95% needed to prevent spread.

Public health officials are tracking contacts, urging those unvaccinated and exposed to isolate, and advising anyone with symptoms to call ahead before seeking care.

  1. Let’s see Susan get the jab, by an independent doctor in public with no hand covering the action, also the vial should be chosen at random from an independent source.

  2. O my fking God still pushing the same bs narrative WTF! Lucky WE all know the truth ie eat well which in turn keeps gut healthy which in turn boosts immune system and stay away from death jabs – 95% pfft. But you fearmongerers, what’s the truth about the measles jab especially the MMR, what damage have the caused or are you not keeping score – the later applies we all know

  3. But, dear Susan, nanotechnology has been found in ALL vaccines (bio-weapons)

    And, dear Susan, governments and Pfizer knew the CV19 vaccines were not safe, yet went ahead anyway.
    Pfizer wants to put so-called mRNA in everything to fight cancer, but all the studies for the past several decades on mRNA say it causes cancer. Pfizer is telling us we are putting in faulty genes. We are debilitating you. We are disabling you. We are sterilizing you, and we are killing you. We are directing the evolution of human beings to become more weak and more dependent on us. . .. To survive, you will need us. It’s on their website. It’s called ‘directed evolution.’ They are directing the extinction of our species. That is what this is. They are playing God. . .. You can call it eugenics. You can call it depopulation, but the new word is ‘directed evolution.’ It’s mRNA technology or personalized medicine; it’s all the same thing, and governments won’t stand in their way, isn’t that right dear Susan.

  4. It’s not a measle vaccine, it’s MMR. I’m 72, was born before all these vaccines and do just fine thank you. (I’ve had 3 vaccines my entire life. Polio, tetanus and small pox).

  5. I would advise ‘health beaurocrats’ to bury themselves in a government bunker for a few decades, and keep their mouths shut

  6. Got into an on-line fight with measles jabbers when I casually mentioned that measles was never feared when I was young. They surprised me by quoting the number of deaths World-wide that year. On looking into those deaths I found they were all in third World, broken countries with no sanitation and rampant malnutrition.
    In a well run State, measles is not to be feared and the vaccine is junk. Recent supposed deaths in the U.S. were from co-morbidity, not measles alone.

    • Exactly correct, measles/mumps were a childhood rite of passage. Virtually everyone contracted them, and provided your homelife was clean, warm, and were well nourished, one got over it and had lifelong immunity.

  7. Yes there is a low risk of a serious case however on the whole it is not anything to worry about. What is really at stake for this bureaucrat?

  8. Mainstream media today states… “You are considered immune to measles if you have proof of two doses of the MMR vaccine. People born before 1969 or who have evidence confirming measles previously are also considered immune.”

    If Medical records are now retained 10 years and one day since last consult, how on earth can the individual produce evidence of Immunisation and/or confirm they have had measles previously. A recent check of the National Immunisation Register revealed that NONE of the vaccines (x5 ) that I received between the years of 1996 and 2013 were recorded.

    Secondly, treatments are available for most of these conditions requiring vaccination so why then day after day are we being subjected to a barrage of vaccine adds, vaccine news and constant vaccine messaging. Yet the subject of vaccine in New Zealand remains widely under researched, inconsistent with published case studies as to vaccine causal links to chronic conditions and adverse reactions appearing to be hindered by significant under reporting.

    Is it not appropriate timing for Health New Zealand to get their processes , information, research and records in order? Maybe they will find that ‘safe and effective’ will no longer fit the narrative. Neither will ‘one size fits all’.
