And there it is…

The Lancaster Coroner Dr. Stephen Diamantoni confirms Governor Josh Shapiro lied— the infant died of a Ruptured Spleen, NOT Measles

“At the time of the autopsy, we did obtain some tissue from the newborn, and we sent it for PCR testing…”

The PCR test… remember those?

It's not impossible, but what are the chances that the likely first-ever reported case of a newborn dying from a splenic laceration due to congenital measles would just happen to be:

-reported by a governor trying to increase vaccination rates,
-who described a newborn as "unvaccinated," and
-contradicted by the doctor performing the autopsy, who ruled out measles as a contributing factor.

Whatever your politics, that combination looks fairly implausible. It rightfully raises genuine questions that shouldn't be dismissed as conspiracy theories.

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

Reporter: “Governor Shapiro, why not be a little more specific & transparent about [the baby that died from a ruptured spleen]?”

Shapiro: “I don’t think it serves the interest of public health for me to get into a back and forth about conspiracy theories that are showing up online.”

[Commissioner Josh Parsons @CommissionerJP]

This is a long post, but I think it is important for anyone who wants to get to the bottom of what is happening here in Lancaster County.

On Tuesday Aug 25th Governor Shapiro and officials from the PA Dept of Health and Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health held a press conference in Lancaster County and announced two “measles-associated deaths.” (See my previous posts for more details on this.)

I have sought to keep an open mind and be objective, but the evidence now leads to the conclusion that there is deception happening here.

This is a matter of great public importance. The Governor claimed there were two deaths in Lancaster County – the first deaths from Measles in the U.S. in 35 years. We have a right to know the facts on this. You cannot drop a bombshell like this and then essentially say all the information around it is top secret. The only way for government to have trust with citizens is through transparency and honesty. That is especially important since what happened during Covid.

Asking questions and following the facts is not “pro-measles” or “anti-science.” It is what we all should do. The following is an attempt to follow the evidence that we currently have available to us.

Ideally, in a functioning healthy system journalists would assemble this case and ask objective questions of the people who had the press conference rather than attack the people who are asking legitimate questions about the press conference. But that is not necessarily the system we are living in, so I will endeavor to do it.

Let me walk you through the evidence that we have as I would have done for a jury when I was a prosecutor trying criminal cases in court.

1. The press conference: Officials at the Governor’s press conference used the term “measles-associated” (see press conference and accompanying press release) but clearly framed it as deaths FROM measles. The Governor stated that these are the first two measles-associated deaths in the U.S. in 35 years. People died FROM measles 35 years ago. Therefore, it would not be accurate to make that statement unless these current cases were in fact being presented as deaths attributable to measles in some significant way. This appears to be a carefully crafted attempt to overstate the case, while also maintaining some later wiggle room, i.e. “associated” to muddy the issue if it became clear these were not in fact measles deaths. This indicates deception.

2. The desired media response: The media, in large part, dutifully took their cue and reported two deaths “from” measles in Lancaster County. The New York Times: “Two unvaccinated people in Pennsylvania have died from measles, as a large outbreak there continues to spread, the state’s Health Department reported on Tuesday morning.” ABC News: “BREAKING: Two people have died in Pennsylvania from measles, the state health department said Tuesday. Both unvaccinated.”

Importantly, the Governor, his administration, and other officials at the press conference did not correct these stories. The message had been conveyed as apparently it was intended.

Note – it is clear now that these stories are not true and any credible news source would retract them rather than just shrug and move on.

3. The lack of transparency: Officials provided virtually no background information about these “measles-associated” deaths. DOH said to “protect the privacy of the individuals and their families, DOH will not release any additional details that could personally identify these individuals and their families,” however, they did release the medical information other than the fact that the two were “unvaccinated.”

Importantly, the law DOES allow information to be released that does not violate privacy – i.e. more demographic and background information. I contend it was very important to do this when making such a big announcement, which made national news. Officials provided no corroborating evidence to their claims.

4. The story unravels: I then conducted an investigation and learned from the Lancaster County Coroner that there were zero reported measles deaths in Lancaster County. (See earlier posts.) I announced this publicly to be transparent. Neither the Governor’s Office nor Penn Medicine replied to my questions. The law requires deaths from contagious disease such as measles to be reported to the Coroner.

The Coroner then released information that an infant had died during a home birth and the infant tested positive for measles but did not die of measles. (See Coroner statements to LNP, WGAL, and Philadelphia Inquirer.)

5. State officials then point to deceased infant: State officials, who previously refused to give any information on the two deceased individuals (other then they were unvaccinated) then pointed to the infant as one of the cases. (See DOH statement of 8/26/27.) PA Secretary of Health Dr. Debra Bogen released a statement on 8/26/27 stating that she “thoroughly reviewed the case investigation information and sadly can confirm that the were two measles-associated deaths in Lancaster County…”

6. County Coroner and Forensic Patholgist report contradicts state officials: The County Coroner and the Forensic Pathologist, both of whom have many years of experience, rule out the claim that the infant can be one of the cases. “Lancaster County Coroner Steve Diamantoni said the cause of death was not from the measles. The newborn died shortly after birth from a laceration of the spleen, although measle antibodies were present in postmortem testing…” (Coroner interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer.)

Moreover, the forensic pathologist who conducted the autopsy indicated the cause of death was not related to measles (Coroner interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer), thus ruling out the theory that has been raised by some that the spleen was enlarged or otherwise susceptible to this injury due to measles exposure.

7. The death investigation: Importantly, the County Coroner is THE person who has statutory authority to rule on cause and manner of death in Pennsylvania. The Coroner said “state officials had not contacted him personally as of Wednesday about the two Lancaster County measles-associated deaths.” (Coroner interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer.) Because this was a home birth where the infant died, and because the County Coroner and the forensic pathologist were the ones investigating this case – and came to the conclusion it was not measles related, – what evidence did the PA Secretary of Health “thoroughly” review? (Statement of Dr. Debra Bogen on 8/26/27.) There would be no hospital records in this case. The Coroner investigation WAS the investigation. But they never personally consulted the Coroner. So what other evidence is she using to determine this death was “measles-associated” to such a degree that they could report to the world that this was one of two measles deaths in Lancaster County?

8. Deception: Also important is the fact that officials emphasized in the press conference that the two individuals were “unvaccinated.” Now, technically that would be true for a baby who was born at home and immediately died. But there would be no possible way for the baby to vaccinated. The framing of this, or underlying assertion in it, seemed to be to indicate that the deceased person was unvaccinated by choice. This shows intent on the part of officials to deceive. Announcing a technically true statement, but keeping secret the context which would show there was no possible way for the baby to have been vaccinated before its death is deliberately deceptive.

In the law, when trying cases in court, there is a jury instruction called “false in one, false in all.” It is the from the Latin term “falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus.” It means that if you find a witness lied about a material fact, the jury may choose to reject the rest of the witness’s testimony. That seems appropriate here.

9. Deception: Similarly deceptive is the following - after my investigation revealed that the County Coroner has zero deaths from measles, PA DOH said: “Not all deaths are referred to a coroner under Pennsylvania law.” (DOH Statement on 8/26/26.) This is technically correct. For instance, an elderly patient who dies of natural causes would not necessarily be referred to the County Coroner. However, the law does require a death known or suspected to be due to contagious disease be reported to the coroner. Thus, the coroner should have a record of any measles death in Lancaster County.

Again, this is an apparent deliberate deception. Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus.

10. The second case: We still know nothing about the second reported death. There has not even been an effort, to my knowledge, to explain this death or provide any details whatsoever – beyond “unvaccinated.” Again, under the law any death due to measles would be required to be reported to the County Coroner. He has no report.

Given the other apparent deception here it is fair to ask whether the facts of the second case have been materially manipulated similar to the first case, or whether the second case exists at all.

I think the people of Lancaster County deserve to have transparency over whether there were actually two measles deaths or not.

FASCISM: Democrats continue to prove they don't respect democracy, much less your rights. Governor Shapiro wants to give himself the power to enter your home, school, or any other location in the state without a warrant if he declares a health emergency. He wants total control of the state - constitution be damned.

[Pennsylvania Family Council @PFIpolicy]

🚨 Pennsylvania parents: Pay attention. (1/6)

The Shapiro administration is proposing sweeping new powers for the Department of Health, including the ability to enter homes and schools without a warrant, access confidential health records, impose statewide disease-control measures, and meet privately with students without their parents present.

“Parents have a fundamental right to direct the upbringing of their children. And these regulations that allow a bureaucrat to go into a school to meet with a child without parents’ knowledge and telling the school officials that they can’t even interfere with this. That ends up then interfering with the parents’ fundamental right to direct the care and upbringing of their children. That’s unconscionable."

-Randall Wenger, Chief Counsel, PA Family Council

The government should not have more authority over Pennsylvania children than their own parents.

We’ve seen what happens when government power goes unchecked during COVID. Pennsylvania voters have already placed limits on that power. Those limits should not be bypassed.

Parents have rights. Government should respect them.

This is how they treat the American people who are armed.

In Michigan. While the Muslims take over the streets. Have you ever seen these protests? Did you pay attention to what the cops were doing?

They aren’t going after these Muslims

The mayor of Dearborn Michigan came out and told the people of Dearborn that they need to submit to Islam

The constitution is the only license we need

And because these men did not commit a crime

This is a violation of the fourth amendment of the constitution of the United States of America.

And I can’t back this.

They’re beating up gun owners and they’re peaceful. They let them beat them up. They weren’t there for a fight. They were just exercising their rights.

But meanwhile, they’re letting the illegals go after they rape women, and broad daylight

And murder the American people

The judges release them

And the cops were protecting Islam

And this is all screwed up🇺🇸

JD Vance tells Joe Rogan that American influencers are being paid by "a former Trump campaign person," funded by elements inside the Israeli government, to attack him personally over the Iran deal.

The man he won't name is Brad Parscale, who ran Trump's entire digital operation in 2016. Time magazine published it two days ago:

VANCE: "There was a Time story that came out yesterday that basically there are certain influencers in America who are being paid in order to attack the deal."

"It lists a bunch of people who have quite literally been paid by a former Trump campaign person who was himself paid by certain elements within the Israeli government. And those people are attacking me viciously for quite literally trying to accomplish the negotiation objective that the president set for the country."

"I don't even mind an effort to try to influence. Foreign governments try to influence the United States all the time. Israel does it, other countries do it. It's just sort of the nature of the beast.

"What bothers me is actually when Americans allow—meaning American leadership—allows that influence to affect their judgment and to affect what they are advocating for."

"When I open up the pages of Time magazine and I see that there's a literal foreign influence campaign being funded to tank the very deal that I was pursuing, and oh, by the way, many of the people who were receiving that money were actually attacking me in completely dishonest ways. My response to that is, well, go to hell."

"I represent Americans first."
