We can say this because not a single tissue specimen from SSPE patients has ever had the vaccine strain of measles; it has always been the wild-type strain. And no, "Schneck criteria" is not used; molecular assays are.

Plus, science wasn't always so rigorous. It really wasn't until the 60s, 70s, or even the 80s that science became what we know of it today. Things were different. Since we didn't know much, there was so much to learn. It wasn't until we learned a lot in a field that bureaucracy became more and more important.

Illnesses always started with plant and animal domestication. The 1918 flu started in rural Kansas. The more time you spend around animals the more likely a virus will jump. Some animals are directly infected by our viruses and vice versa. I am sure a rural setting made for the perfect situation to cause subclinical infections because of incomplete immunity and a lot of exposure.<br /><br />Also, I believe some studies have also shown that women have a slightly more robust immune system as well as a greater propensity for autoimmune disorders.
