Business outbreak Samoa
In 2018, two children died after receiving a measles vaccine. In 2019, two nurses were sentenced to five years imprisonment for wrong killing after being mixed and incorrectly managed, as I mentioned before Australian broadcasting company.
The deaths sparked the suspension of MMR vaccines in Samoa. A report published The Australian Royal College of General Practitioners, Among other things, the deaths and comment have led to an increase in analogy.
In late 2019, with measles vaccination rates hovering about 30 percent, the outbreak of the disease has proven a killer, killing most of them children, according to treatment workers.
He visits Kennedy Samoa
Kennedy, the former founder and chairman of the Board of Directors to defend the health of non -profit children to combat vaccination, Books in the 2021 blog post He visited the country two years ago after an invitation from the Minister of Ministers at that time, Tuiliba Sille Maligoy. The anti -joining activist Edwin Tamasis arranged the visit, as the Kennedy Blog greatly celebrated the separation of the charges against Tamasis related to undermining government messages on vaccination.
As mentioned before Samoa Observer, Tamses has published a warning about the side effects of vaccines on children, and writing: “I will be here to hold a chaos.
Kennedy claimed that this trip was aimed at “discussing with the government to introduce a system of medical information that allows Samoa’s health officials to evaluate, in an actual time, the effectiveness and safety of every medical intervention or medicine on public health.”
But Kennedy also wrote that the nephew of the Prime Minister had been diagnosed with autism after the “vaccine fever”. The alleged relationship between vaccines and autism, which Kennedy supported, was widely exposed. He added that government officials, including the Prime Minister, wanted to measure the health results in the context of what Kennedy called “a national rest of the vaccines.”
Kennedy pointed to the outbreak of measles, which led to the Samoa government declaring a state of “moderate”. The New Zealand Red Cross wrote in 2020 Most of them are children under the age of 5, who were killed. Kennedy hinted that the MMR vaccines, which were presented in November 2019, led to the deaths.

In 2021, Kennedy told Samoa observer How he believed that the Prime Minister of Samoa had doubts about the national vaccination program.
“He was in a very difficult situation,” Kennedy said.
“He felt that he saw what I thought was a vaccine injury, yet he was surrounded by people who were telling him that he was not.
“He was trying to be a good leader and make a good decision for his people while he was very confusing.”
He added that there is a “limited” discussion about vaccines during the trip.
The message of “defective vaccine” to the Prime Minister of Samoa
In November 2019, In a letter to the Prime Minister of SamoaKennedy asked whether the country’s vaccination engines could lead to deaths, and that it was caused by insufficient coverage of the vaccine insufficient or instead, instead, by a flawed vaccine. “
Although Kennedy may have told members of the Senate that his visit has nothing to do with vaccines, his association with activists against wreckage of government leaves doubt on this statement.
