This is CRUEL.

This infant tragically died from a laceration of the spleen. Imagine being the parents of this baby, suffering the greatest loss imaginable, and then having @NBCNews, and others, frame it as your fault for not vaccinating.

In a cruel irony, the measles antibodies that lead to these salacious and erroneous headlines, were likely the result of the mother receiving the vaccine and passing immunity to the baby.

It is difficult enough to navigate health decisions for your children without the media lying to protect their advertiser dollars.

Absolutely disgusting. Shame on all of you who peddled this.

Children KILLED by Covid ‘vaccine’
Just horrific.

[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.

FLOCK is officially under investigation 👀👀👀

[Alex Berenson @AlexBerenson]

A month ago, a gold-standard study showed Tamiflu - a flu drug given to 25 MILLION Americans since 2015 - is deadly, DOUBLING the death risk in critically ill patients.

This is a huge story. But the legacy media won't touch it, since it reflects on their Covid/mRNA coverage too.

@CommissionerJP Thank you for coming forward!

Governor Shapiro's unseemly rush to Lancaster County to convene a national press conference and his giddy delight in announcing two measles deaths was a morose commentary on the contemporary political dialogue. The performance was a replay of the Democrats' COVID playbook: fearmongering, misinformation, finger-pointing, and the weaponization of infectious disease fears for political gain.

The announcement appears to have been premature, and the deaths may even have been altogether fabricated by one of the Governor's hopeful staffers. The Lancaster County Coroner says that it has no record of any measles deaths. State law requires that all measles deaths be reported to the coroner.

Governor Shapiro shattered tradition and violated standard public health policy by refusing to share information with the County Health Department or CDC.

Since I have been in office, CDC has had a superb record of cooperation, information sharing, and professionalism with blue- and red-state governors and health officials. Those collaborations have resulted in effective control of the global measles outbreak in this country.

Governor Shapiro got his headlines. He correctly gambled that the slavish mainstream media would dutifully amplify his scolding without any effort to check his facts.

[JR @JGateesR]

Hmmm sounds awfully familiar. So tired of this!

[Chief Nerd @TheChiefNerd]

NEW - Lancaster County Commissioner Josh Parsons: “I spoke at length this morning with the coroner himself, and they have zero cases of measles deaths … They had one patient who died with measles, not of measles.”

[React19 - Official @React19org]

CDC's V-SAFE tracked 10 million people before and after COVID vaccination. Today, @RetsefL analyzed the data and identified a rate of self-reported COVID vaccine injury: approx 1 in 50.

This is something everyone should know.

There have only been two other calculations done in similar databases calculating the rate of injury: 1 in 800 (Fraiman/Doshi paper), or 2 in 5,000 (German government).

Thanks to @ICANdecide for suing for the release of the data that was never going to be released to the public.

At his press conference today, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro accused me of promoting conspiracy theories because I told him, during an earlier telephone conversation, that some Americans had religious objections to the MMR vaccine because it contained fetal tissue. “There is no fetal tissue in the MMR,” he told me.

This is a segment from a videotaped deposition of Stanley Plotkin, the inventor of the MMR vaccine. Plotkin admits to butchering 76 aborted normally developing fetuses, all over three months old, in just one of the many studies that led to the development of his vaccine.

The rubella virus used in MMR-II is grown on the cultured cell line composed of lung tissue from an aborted three-month-old female embryo and listed as “WI-38 human diploid lung fibroblasts” in the ingredients of MMR-II as portions of these cells end up in each vial of MMR II.

During Dr. Plotkin’s deposition, Attorney Aaron Siri asked: “Isn’t it true that MMR II contains approximately 150 nanograms cells substrate double-strand DNA and single-strand DNA per dose purposefully fragmented to approximately 215 base pairs in length?” Dr. Plotkin answered: “Yeah, that’s probably correct, yes.”

This equals approximately 646 billion pieces of human DNA from an aborted fetal cell line in each vial of MMR-II.

In addition to the human DNA, there is also an unspecified amount of human cellular debris in each dose of MMR-II.

During our phone conversation, Governor Shapiro also accused me of promoting vaccine misinformation. When I asked him for an example, he was unable to provide one, but this did not deter him from publicly repeating that accusation during his press event. As I told him, HHS does not tolerate misinformation by any employee. I offered to point to hundreds of instances of vaccine misinformation by the Biden administration about which I had never heard him complain.

Governor Shapiro also faulted me for the decline in Pennsylvania vaccination rates from 97% - 93.2%. When I pushed back on this assertion, he acknowledged that most of the decline occurred during the Biden administration. It’s unfortunately true that the government lockdowns, deceptions, manipulation, and overreach during Covid severely damaged public faith in the vaccine program.

Governor Shapiro’s press conference was an example of the same species of gaslighting.

The Trump administration is working to restore public trust not by gaslighting or manipulating, but by being truthful, at last, with the public.

"The Coroner’s office indicates that it currently has ZERO reported cases where measles is the immediate cause of death."

[Stephanie Hook de Garay @shdegaray73]

The media and certain so called doctors need to just stop with the fear mongering, measles is treatable! You can get a vaccine if you want to but you can also choose not to and if you get it then get treatment if necessary. And for some individuals, the MMR vaccine can kill them or cause permanent health issues which will affect the rest of their life! Just do your research, please🙏🏼

[Tami @EarthtoTami]

“Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, I’m begging of you, please don’t hesitate. Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, ’cause once you’re dead, then that’s a bit too late. … I just want to say to all of you cowards out there – don’t be such a chicken squat. Get out there and get your shot. … I’m old enough to get it, and I’m smart enough to get it.”

Dolly Rebecca Parton (1946–2026) was the iconic country singer-songwriter, actress, and philanthropist known for “Jolene,” “9 to 5,” and Dollywood. Education: graduated Sevier County High School (1964); no college degree (later honorary doctorates). Zero medical training, zero scientific background, zero epidemiological expertise, and no public-health qualifications of any kind - pure entertainment legend and businesswoman who died today at 80.

In 2020 she donated $1 million to Vanderbilt University Medical Center research that supported early Moderna vaccine work. In March 2021 she publicly received the Moderna shot on camera, rewrote and sang “Jolene” as a vaccine anthem, called the hesitant “cowards” and “chicken squats,” and urged everyone eligible to get the jab so “we can get back to normal.” She later posted her second dose.

The beloved, down-home Appalachian icon who built an empire on authenticity and independent spirit turned a medical product into a moral purity test, shaming ordinary people while elite celebrities enjoyed priority access and private care.

Her philanthropy funded the shot; her platform demanded compliance.

Ordinary fans and workers under the pressure she amplified faced exclusion and coercion. Even in death, the rewritten chorus echoes.

One more final bow, and the “cowards” were left to remember the shaming.

I’m so sad to hear that one of my (former) favorite country artists is apparently just another Hollywood lefty. You would have been better off to remain silent because you just pissed off most of your fans.

Have fun with the repercussions.
