Summary
The parents of a 6-year-old unvaccinated Texas girl who died from measles stated in an interview that the disease “wasn’t that bad” despite her death.
The family belongs to a Mennonite community and remains opposed to the MMR vaccine, citing perceived risks. Four other siblings contracted milder cases.
Health officials and public figures, including RFK Jr., urged vaccination to curb the outbreak. The girl’s symptoms worsened to pneumonia before she died in intensive care.
The case marks the first U.S. child measles death in nearly a decade.
This couple is truly living in the 1800s.
Hopefully this stupidity is self limiting. It’s too bad that it’s not the parents getting sick and dying instead of innocent children.
parents are older and probably vaccinated.
Just a numbers game. Monstrous. Now that’s what you call “someone who should have never become a parent!”
