After talking to Democrat Mark Kelly for most of her show, Jen Psaki—a longtime Democratic political operative who served as Joe Biden’s White House press secretary and previously held several senior roles in the Obama administration, including White House communications director, State Department spokesperson, deputy White House communications director, and deputy White House press secretary—brought Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro onto her Wednesday broadcast to discuss the state’s ongoing measles outbreak.
The answer from both was entirely predictable: more vaccinations.
Shapiro repeatedly urged Pennsylvanians to get the MMR vaccine, while Psaki celebrated an increase in local vaccination rates as “good news.”
What neither mentioned during the entire exchange were the known risks and adverse reactions associated with the vaccine itself.
Instead, Shapiro insisted:
“More people get vaccinated, the less chance that this is going to spread. But this is an incredibly dangerous situation. We’re doing everything we can. And my message to folks is trust the public health experts, trust your medical provider.”
Trust your public health experts and medical providers who make a lot of money off vaccines.
Yet, the realities on the ground in Pennsylvania complicate the standard public health script.
Two of the state’s measles-associated deaths involved infants who were too young to even receive the routine MMR vaccine.
According to the Lancaster County coroner, one infant passed away from a measles infection, while another died from a ruptured spleen with measles listed as a contributing condition.
This raises an obvious question: Where did these infants come into contact with measles in the first place?
Interestingly, the exact source of their exposure has not been released.
There is clearly much more to this measles outbreak than the public is being told.
Vaccines are not completely risk-free.
Even the CDC acknowledges that the MMR vaccination can cause febrile seizures, temporary low platelet counts, and severe allergic reactions.
It also warns that individuals with serious immune-system problems can and develop life-threatening infections from the vaccine. These are just some of the reactions that are officially acknowledged; many other risks, side effects, and injuries remain associated with vaccines.
If television hosts and politicians are going to aggressively push vaccines and demand that viewers “trust the public health experts,” then the public deserves a complete risk-benefit discussion—not just a curated, one-sided narrative.
Vaccines can cause deaths too. And many people believe they can cause cancer.
All the people I know who got cancer and died from it were covid vaccinated.
