@Convivial From Wiki:
In June 2019, American anti-vaccination activistRobert F. Kennedy Jr.visited Samoa to meet with local anti-vaccination activists includingTaylor Wintersteinand Edwin Tamanese, whom he called a "medical freedom hero". Kennedy also discussed vaccines with then-Prime MinisterTuilaʻepa Saʻilele Malielegaoi,and campaigned against the vaccine on social media.
In August 2019, an infected passenger on one of the more than 8,000 annual flights between New Zealand and Samoa probably brought the disease fromAucklandtoUpolu.[8]An outbreak began in October 2019 and continued for four months. Before seeking proper medical treatment, some parents first took their children to 'traditional healers' who used machines purchased that claimed to produce "immune-protective" water.
As of 22 December, there were 79 deaths. This was 0.4 deaths per 1,000 people, based on a population of 200,874,aninfection fatality rateof 1.43%. There were 5,520 cases, representing 2.75% of the population -61 of the first 70 deaths were aged four and under. All but seven of the deaths were from people aged under 15.
At least 20% of babies aged six to 11 months contracted measles. One in 150 babies died.
By 20 December 2019, 94% of the population had been vaccinated,versus the 95% required forherd immunity.
After the outbreak started, anti-vaxxers, including Kennedy,attributed the dozens of measles deaths to poverty and malnutrition or to the vaccine, but cited no evidence for these claims. Clinicians reported thatVitamin A deficiencyorimmunodeficiencydid not appear to be a substantial contributing factor to the outbreak.
