Samoan traditional healer and well known anti-vaxxer Edwin Tamasese can provide no evidence to prove the MMR vaccine in Samoa is substandard. In the interview with Stuff, Tamasese described himself as a Taulasea (traditional healer) that used vitamins and natural plants to heal the sick. "This is why it is even more vital that a country like Samoa vaccinates to protect its children against measles. It would be negligent not to vaccinate when Samoan children are at such high risk of severe measles. SAMOA APPEAL: Donate online at unicef.org.nz/appeal/samoa-measles-emergency to help get more children in Samoa immunised against measles.
