Measles News: Many are unaware that a new measles variant has emerged that is worse in the sense that this new genotype cannot be picked up by current laboratory diagnostic methods!
New Measles D8 Variant In Italy That Evades Current Test Spreading
Silently In Italy With Over 231 Cases In the First Three Months Of 2024!
We reported about the emergence of this new measles virus genotype in late February 2024 despite many agencies not being happy with us for doing so.

We also warned that there are possibly more new genotypes and even one new serotype of the measles virus that has emerged but that data is being suppressed as those controlling the narratives wish to first deplete the stockpiles of millions of MMR vaccines that they have first! No one is highlighting the fact that a significant percentage of individuals, both children and adults who have been vaccinated with the MMR vaccines are still contracting measles!
Latest data released by Italian health authorities show that measles is now rising in various parts of Italy with 231 identified cases so far in the first three months of 2024.

However local
Measles News coverages are claiming that the actual number of cases could be much higher as many cases cannot be picked up by the current test and only moderate or severe cases that are typically hospitalized are getting further test done to validate that it is the new measles variant.
It was also reported that almost half of the 231 cases were hospitalized while about 12% of these cases had been previously vaccinated with the MMR vaccines!

In terms of cases by age, data supplied shows that 51.2 percent of the cases were occurring in those between the age groups of 15 to 39 years of age while only 15.5 percent occurred in group 0 to 4 years of age. 23 percent were in the age group 40 -64 years of age while9.4 percent were in the 5 to 14 age group. Interestingly, the age group 65 and above only constituted about 0.6 percent. This data shows an interesting anomaly that it is basically young and healthy adults that are more prone to infections by the newer measles D8 variant!
Thailand
Medical N
ews strongly believes that there is at least three different measles virus variants that are currently circulating in Europe while two more newly emergent worrisome measles strains have emerged in Yemen and also Azerbaijan that the current MMR vaccines are useless against but are also manifesting worrisome symptoms and are more ‘aggressive’! While these two new strains are at the moment strangely not spreading much possibly due to viral fitness issues, there is opportunity for lots of ‘intermingling’ with existing measles variants that are also rampant in both these countries and we could likely see them evolving and spreading fast soon.
We would also likely to stress that many have ridiculed us for our hypotheses in which we proposed that as a result of billions being exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the COVID-19 mRNA jabs, the global immunity landscape has change, propelling existing pathogens and also dormant pathogens in the human host to also evolve and mutate, leading to the emergence of many new strains and variants with unique properties of their own. To date, we have already seen new adenovirus, RSV virus, TB, HIV, Norovirus and even syphilis strains and variants emerge although there has not been much coverages about these! We strongly feel that in the second half of 2024, we will see the emergence and spread of many new genotypes and even serotypes of common pathogens that will wreak havoc on the healthcare infrastructures in many countries.
