The article shows that the high numbers of measles cases in Swansea being reported in the UK mainstream media are the 'notified' cases, i.e. those reported by healthcare professionals.  In March 2013, for example, 238 measles cases were notified in the Swansea area, while the figure for 1st January to 31st March was 343.  By contrast, the number of laboratory-confirmed - i.e. actual - measles cases in Swansea in March 2013 was 3.  Yes, three.  The overall 2013 tally was 13.  Doing a quick bit of maths, that's an overdiagnosis rate of 7930% for March and 2638% for 2013.

Of course, the reason given for the outbreak is that insufficient people have been vaccinated for measles, which in the UK in 2013 is exclusively available as the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) triple vaccine on the National Health Service (NHS).  Official NHS figures show that MMR takeup rates in the affected areas were below the 95% figure touted as necessary to achieve ‘herd immunity’ against measles, both at 2 years and 5 years of age.

Case closed?  Well no, not really.  There are a couple of problems with this assertion, one of which – and it’s a biggie – is that ‘herd immunity’ is an unproven theory with its basis in natural immunity, not vaccination.  Not only that, but there is a certain inconsistency in the NHS’ presentation of its own data.  The Swansea figures show that around 87% of children received two doses of the MMR vaccine by age 5 in 2011–12, a number that has been increasing steadily over the past few years.  A map of the same data (Figure 1) confirms this, with Swansea in the ’85.0 to 87.4%’ bracket.  This puts Swansea well within the 83–94% vaccine coverage range thought necessary for ‘herd immunity’ against measles by the World Health Organization (WHO) and US Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Original Message The news media have been chock-full of the “measles epidemic” in Wales, along with the young man whom it was claimed had died of it. He didn’t—and the epidemic never happened. The proof is in Wales’ own official statistics.

The young man who died during the proclaimed measles epidemic, Gareth Colfer-Williams, did not die from measles. But even those few reports that admitted he didn’t die of the disease went on to a discourse of how terrible measles is and how the “epidemic” was so horrible. In the BBC article linked, we’re informed that “83 people have needed hospital treatment for the illness.” That, though, cannot be true.

The fact is that, though 446 measles notifications were made between 1 January and 31 March of this year, those were merely reports. The reality is that only 26 cases were actually confirmed!
