A person on my Facebook page, Infectious disease news, who frequently posts anti-vaccine comments and links to certain posts placed a link to a article from a website called Natural News.
The author, SD Wells, asks the question and gives his or her answer in a piece called– Which has killed more people, measles or the measles vaccine?
Joining me today to look at this article is Paul Offit, MD. Dr Offit is a pediatrician specializing in infectious diseases and an expert on vaccines.
He is the Director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia as well as the Maurice R. Hilleman Professor of Vaccinology and a Professor of Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

You guys need to be held accountable for trying to cause brain damage to our children with these poisonous vaccines. Don’t be on the wrong side of history
There is no evidence to support your assertion of vaccines. Vaccines have time and time again been proven to be safe. The same cannot be said of measles. Unfortunately, with measles on the rise, we will learn these truths the hard way.
You ought to try taking some science classes, Rupert. Vaccines are not poisonous and no one is “trying to cause brain damage” to your children.
Is there a transcript for the hearing-impaired and listening-averse?
Hi Tsu,
Sorry, we do not have at this time.
Thanks

Dr. Offit – before I would click on it I googled the name and of course his real “expertise” is exposed i 2 licks. Another vaccine industry’s puppet who at best is a joke.
