Child in West Texas is first US measles death in a decade


The first measles death in the growing outbreak in West Texas was a school-aged child.

The child was unvaccinated and had been hospitalized in Lubbock, Texas, said Lauren Adams, Lubbock city spokesperson. Officials did not answer questions regarding the patient's specific age, any other health issues, or details about the patient's schooling in a press conference jointly hosted by Covenant Health and the City of Lubbock Public Health on Wednesday.

This is the first US measles death since 2015, when a woman in Washington state died.

The number of confirmed measles cases reported in an outbreak in West Texas is now at 124, the Texas Department of Health Services said in an update Tuesday, an increase of 34 since late last week. Most of the cases are in children ages 5 to 17.

At President Donald Trump's first cabinet meeting on Wednesday, he deferred a question about the measles outbreak in Texas to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services, who said, "We are following the measles epidemic every day."

Kennedy said during the cabinet meeting that there had been two measles deaths but Texas officials confirmed Wednesday afternoon there has been only one death. New Mexico officials said no measles deaths have been reported in the state.

Eighteen people have been hospitalized so far in the outbreak. All have been unvaccinated.

The far Left used to be the anti vaxx crowd. It was nice of Donzo to bring all of the nutters under his Big Top.

I was right.

Shame that this madness cost the life of a child.

What a needless death.
I feel for the child's family.
I have no idea what the family situation is, but no doubt there is some reflection about why the child wasn't vaccinated.

I feel for the child, absolutely.

But, and, , , , one of the sad facts is that a lot of parents simply do not get their children vaccinated, either by 'cost' or convenience!! Not at all an 'anti' stance.

RFK FLIP FLOP


in the meantime, Measles is running rampant through the Dotard population of Dotard-Central, aka Texas



Texas measles cases rise to 146 in an outbreak that led to a child's death

but thanks to the Maga dipshits, its spreading across the country as well..

Unvaxxed idiots in Kentucky and New Jersey spread measles

Nope. They are all DEI hires:

Keep cutting heath programs and putting vaccine skeptics in charge and it won't take long for other countries start denying US visitors.

They used to take these kids away from their "religious" if their lives' were in danger. I think they would rather die now than allow "Big Government" to vaccinate their children.

Thing is, measles is really contagious. Up to over 120? So far.
This whole wrecking ball attitude to the best epidemiologists and infectious disease experts on the planet is not going to end well.
These incel inbred qretins fired vital working staff working on fucking bird flu........genius
And all sorts nasty creepy/crawlies waiting to pounce on a wilfully ignorant, laughably stupid populace.
what could possibly go wrong......

It's a democratic hoax

That's no excuse. sorry.

and I doubt that's true.

If it is, you're a shitty parent.

RFK Jr.'s focus on vitamin A for measles worries health experts

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s focus on vitamin A use to combat a growing measles outbreak in Texas is raising concerns among public health experts, who fear he is sending the wrong message about preventing the highly contagious disease and distracting from the critical importance of vaccination.

Kennedy, who in his years as an anti-vaccine activist criticized measles shots and boosted vitamin A as a treatment, is now using his government position to tout the vitamin's accepted benefits. The Department of Health and Human Services has directed the nation's top public health agency to add similar language to its guidance for caring for measles patients.

And, , , , the other day, again, , , , a MAGA Anti told me that I got 'played' by my Stem Cell Transplant Doctor when he told me in 2021 that if I did not get the COVID vaccination and I did get COVID, , , , I had a 40% chance of DEATH.

He did not care when I told him that the '40%' was actual Vanderbilt/VA numbers. Nope, I got played!

A new bar buddy sitting next to me interrupted the MAGA with: "Doctor Savani does not play. He is world famous". My buddy is in the 'chemo' business and knows exactly who Dr. Bipin Savani is!

Sadly, an 8 year old girl has died of measles in Texas.

Trump administration says they aren't sure measles caused her death, even though it is attributed as the cause of death on the death certificate.

Alternate fact.

Now MTG is wanting measles parties for kids? WTF?!

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a prominent Republican congresswoman and a staunch ally of Trump, suggested a return to "measles parties" for children. In a quote tweet, Greene amplified a video contrasting a Brady Bunch clip portraying a relaxed view of the measles with a clip of a measles outbreak on Law and Order: SVU.

That tweet, posted by an account that has promoted flat earth, captioned the clips. "How we handled measles then vs. now." Greene commented in her quote tweet:

"They used to have measles parties, basically get all the kids together so they all catch it and develop immunity.

Then when I was a kid, they did the same thing with chicken pox."

Lubbock hospital confirms second measles death in Texas from child, RFK to attend funeral

A second death of a school-aged child has occurred in Texas due to measles in connection to the ongoing outbreak.

This was confirmed Sunday by a statement from University Medical Center hospital in Lubbock, which said, "a school-aged child who was recently diagnosed with measles has passed away."

According to UMC, the child was hospitalized due to complications from measles and was not vaccinated.

"This unfortunate event underscores the importance of vaccination," reads a statement from UMC. "Measles is a highly contagious disease that can lead to serious complications, particularly for those who are unvaccinated."

Kennedy then touted the work of Dr. Ben Edwards, who, according to The New York Times, is a vocal antivaxxer and who has a "wellness clinic" that dishes out vitamin C supplements and cod liver oil, both as a lemon-flavored drink and unflavored soft gels.
