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.
