Was Washington State 2019 Measles"outbreak" a practice drill for implementing government control over healthcare?

The Covid-19 outbreak is currently used to justify all kinds of drastic changes in public policy in Washington State.

But how did we get to the point where state gov't can institute those kind of changes?

Digging on measles outbreaks in Washington, we found that measles served as a "gateway disease" for mandating changes in public policy -

especially vaxxing policy.

The interesting part is that outbreaks of measles have really not involved that many cases or resulted in serious complications.

Measles outbreaks have not, for example, been as deadly as those of N1H1, Zika or Ebola.

The 1990 outbreak was notable in that there were 5x as many cases as in the previous year (266; see below). In 2019, although there were only 87 cases, this was touted as "the most cases the state has seen since 1990" (see below). In both cases, there was a lot of emphasis placed on MMR vaccinations.

So here is the question:

Was the gov't stance on the 2019 measles outbreak a dress rehearsal for policies we now see implemented with Covid-19??

Was the DS "testing the waters" to see how people would react?

Are the current Covid policies further testing the waters, to see how far WA state can push its totalitarian agenda?

The following reports provide a history of policy statements on measles for Washington state:

CDC, MMWR, Epidemiologic Notes and Reports MeaslesWashington, 1990

Epidemiologic Notes and Reports Measles – Washington, 1990

During the first 26 weeks of 1990, a total of 266 measles cases* (incidence: 5.8 cases per 100,000 population) was reported to the Washington State Department of Health from 15 (38%) of the state's 39 counties. This number is nearly five times the total reported statewide during all of 1989 (55 cases) and is the largest number of cases reported by the state during any year since 1979. Seventy-five (28%) of the reported cases were serologically confirmed. Detailed data were available for 218 cases reported during the first 22 weeks of 1990.

Washington State Dept of HealthMeasles in Washington State 2019

In 2019, Washington had two outbreaks of measles, and one case of measles that was not part of an outbreak, totaling 87 cases. This is the most cases the state has seen since 1990. The first outbreak was January through May with 72 confirmed cases. The second outbreak began May 9 and had 14 confirmed cases. It was declared over August 28, 2019.

Vaccination Debate – How Dangerous are the Measles?U.S. 2015

Prior to the measles vaccine in 1962, there were between 400 and 500 measles-related deaths reported in the U.S per year. That figure comes out to 0.000263% of a U.S population of 190 million at the time. But, while it was extremely unlikely for someone in the general population to die from the disease, how deadly was the measles for someone who actually got the disease? According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), there were 432 measles-related related deaths based on 503,182 measles cases that year. That translates to a percentage of 0.09%. What about death rates from measles cases during the post-vaccine days? Since 1962, there have been three epidemics of measles outbreaks in vaccinated populations here in the U.S: 1970-1972, 1976-1978. In the most recent epidemic from 1989-1991, 55,000 measles cases that year resulted in about 123 deaths. That means 0.22% of measles victims died. Or, you could also say that 99.78% of those with the measles did not die. Either way you look at these numbers, pre or post-vaccine, they hardly warrant the fear, attention, and scare-mongering we are reading about and watching in our mainstream news today.

Having looked at the actual risks of the disease, what is the reason for the hype and hysteria from our media about getting the measles? This has everything to do with politics. It is primarily an attack on the anti-vaccination movement. Sadly, the masses have been led to believe that the unvaccinated are to blame anytime an infectious disease outbreak occurs. We saw with Ebola that in most cases, advanced societies are equipped to handle these diseases without vaccinations. If and when the Ebola vaccine is invented, it will be given all the credit for eradicating a disease that would have never spread, anyway. This type of panic over measles, however, presents real danger to our freedom. No single person should be forced to inject something into their bodies against their own will. This is what the vaccine pushers are striving for. It's okay if they want to believe in vaccines, but it is important that we are not taking away human rights from those who choose to think for themselves.

U.S. Public Health Response to the Measles Outbreak '''February 27, 2019==

Witness: Nancy Messonnier, MD (CAPT, USPHS, RET)

Testimony: House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations

"While confidence in vaccines remains consistently high at the national level, there are pockets of people who are vaccine-hesitant, who delay or refuse to vaccinate themselves and/or their children. The World Health Organization named vaccine hesitancy as one of the top ten threats to global health in 2019."

"CDC estimates that one percent of children in the U.S. receive no vaccines at all. Why do VPD outbreaks still occur despite record-high vaccination coverage rates and near-record lows of most VPDs? Small numbers of cases can lead to the re-emergence of VPDs if there are increasing numbers of unvaccinated people, leaving communities susceptible to outbreaks of these preventable diseases. At particular risk are those who cannot get vaccinated because they are too young or have specific health conditions."

"Outbreaks of VPDs continue to be an ongoing challenge for the public health system. In addition, there have also been recent outbreaks of meningitis and mumps in university settings and other tight knit communities. Today, these outbreaks are an indicator of how globally interconnected we are, with measles importations uncovering those communities opting out of immunization, and indicating those communities may be getting larger. Ongoing surveillance is critical to detecting and responding to outbreaks quickly to prevent further spread of the disease and to understanding vaccine effectiveness and safety over time. CDC is committed to a strong evidence base to assure that national immunization policies and programs are protecting Americans and based on the best available data, continuously reviewed and updated."

The Hill: Washington state House committee passes bill to ban personal, philosophical vaccine exemptionsBY MORGAN GSTALTER 02/16/19

A Washington state House committee on Friday passed a bill to ban the personal or philosophical exemption for the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) for school-age children amid an outbreak of the virus.

Gov. Jay Inslee (D) declared a state of emergency in Washington late last month following a measles outbreak.

There have been 53 confirmed cases of measles as of Thursday afternoon, according to health officials in Clark County, an anti-vaccination “hot spot” near Portland, Ore., where a vast majority of this year’s measles cases have been located.

Of the 53 confirmed cases, 47 people were not immunized against the illness and one had the MMR vaccine. The immunization status of five people have not yet been confirmed and one person was previously hospitalized.

Seattle School District: Student Vaccination Requirements, Vaccine Information for FamiliesPosted on 01/06/2020

"In 2019, the Washington State Legislature passed a bill that removes the personal and/or philosophical exemption to the MMR vaccine required for school attendance.

Washington state law (Washington state law RCW 28A.210.080 and rules, WAC 392-380-045 and WAC 246-105-020) also requires that students are fully vaccinated, be in the process of completing immunizations, or have a signed Certificate of Exemption (religious or medical exemption) in order to attend school. Read the King County immunization schedule for children.

Student records must reflect updated immunization status by January 8, 2020, or students cannot attend school until the required information is provided to the school nurse. Families of students whose records are not up to date or are missing information will be notified via email, postal mail, and a letter home from your child’s school."
