Secondary bacteria infections are very common with measles, which can create a cascade of deadly complications.

Anti-vaxxers target Texas measles doctors to cast doubt on deaths amid outbreak Anti-vaxxers target Texas measles doctors to cast doubt on deaths amid outbreak
Honestly, at this point, I vote we just intentionally infect all of these antivaxxers with the actual diseases they’re refusing to get vaccinated for.
On Facebook, a woman asked about local doctors that will see her unvaxed child. I asked her, "serious question, if you’re not going to follow doctor’s advice, why are you going? Are you just looking for someone who will tell you what you want to hear? Because any reputable doctor is going to recommend that you get your child vaccinated."
It was an actual, serious question, but not only did I not get a response, I of course got attacked by nuts justifying the behavior and calling me names.
Right? If you dont trust doctors then why go to one at all? Why call 911 if you don't trust the doctors at the hospital?? A lot of this stuff happened around covid too.
There were and are so many fucking idiots that insisted it was all a plot to hurt their special little failson tiny-d donnie. Seriously, how fucking stupid do you have to believe that a pandemic is all about just the United States and donnie?
They'd say it was "just like the flu", that people were dying "with" Covid, not "from" Covid. And then were pushing stupid nostrums like Ivermectin, HCQ, etc., instead of getting the vaccine.
And they refused to do even the most basic of protocols to make anything better. Insisted on doing shit in person. Demanded that churches and business and schools should be open. That protecting anyone at risk was not worth one iota of sacrifice. Kept on insisting it was only the fat and the old that were affected (like the fat and the old deserve to die, I guess? This is from the pro-life types, too, of course, LOL)

Now they're trotting this lie out about measles.
Yep. And measles is wildly contagious and can not only kill young and perfectly healthy children (no shaming the fat and the old or blaming it on not lifting enough or whatever the fuck), but even those that survive can have some wildly terrible consequences immediately after and later in life.
These people are terribly dangerous. I'm sure we had a lot of excess death thanks to them during Covid, and we sure as fuck are having excess death from them for this.
You should send her Roald Dahl's letter. Or tell her to pass it on to her child, since that is who he directed it at.
The death of his daughter is absolutely heartbreaking. Before a vaccine was available. The monsters and assholes that think it's cute and clever and "because mah immune system" and other bullshit become all the more insufferably stupid when you read something like this:
As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn't do anything. "Are you feeling all right?", I asked her. "I feel all sleepy", she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. … I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered.
So when antivaxxers are shown to be wrong they...react by killing the people who show they're wrong.
Wow they really wanna kill people, huh
... and why was she in the hospital in the first place?
It’s not just the deaths – it’s also the severe disease, Wells said. The “massive” outbreaks affect “families and communities and disrupt lives”, Wells said. About one in five unvaccinated measles patients are hospitalized. Measles erases immunity to all other illnesses for years, putting patients at risk of other serious infections. And survivors may years later develop severe measles complications such as subacute sclerosing panencephalitis(SSPE), which is fatal and untreatable.
No surprise really, used the same strategies when denying covid deaths, really is a death cult.
People being aggressive with health staff about COVID diagnoses was 1 of the two reasons visitors were restricted for so long.
I don’t see how this can be resolved by staff as easily as the Covid problems. The moral injury to staff caring for these children is no doubt profound, especially when it’s something so preventable. And then to be faced with lawsuits from those who more or less killed the child.
