Lanka's original advert stated: "Because we know that the 'measles virus' doesn't exist, and according to biology and medical science can't exist, and because we know the real cause of measles, we want the reward to get people to enlighten themselves, for the enlightened to help the less enlightened and for the enlightened to influence those in power".
In addition, genetic analysis of viruses provides a means to differentiate vaccine-associated cases of measles from cases caused by infection with wild-type virus.
The Anti-Defamation Leagainstrned against blaming the ultra-Orthodox as the "sole cause" of the measles outbreak.
Along with blaming undocumented immigrants for committing crimes and costing taxpayers money, he said in 2015 that they might be the cause of a measles outbreak.

Earlier the virus was indigenous to countries worldwide, but now it is mediated by a limited number of evolutionary lineages causing sporadic outbreaks/epidemics of measles or circulating in geographically restricted endemic areas of Africa, Asia and Europe.
In florid prose, Turner and Sponsel then uncritically related Tierney's most sensational claims, including that the geneticist James Neel had "in all probability deliberately caused" an outbreak of measles by using a contra-indicated vaccine among the Yanomamö to test an "extreme," "fascistic" eugenic theory.
Medical scientists said they doubted that the vaccine itself could have caused a widespread outbreak of measles or directly caused so many deaths, even among people with little resistance like the Yanomami.
"So, we have there a massive group of children that are unvaccinated and may be one of the causes of the outbreak of measles we are having today".
