Second child dies from measles-related causes in West Texas

[Anonymous]

This is heartbreaking and unnecessary. This school-aged child (not baby) was unvaccinated.

"A second school-aged child in West Texas has died from a measles-related illness, a hospital spokesman confirmed Sunday, as the outbreak continues to swell.

Aaron Davis, a spokesperson for UMC Health System in Lubbock, Texas, said that the child was “receiving treatment for complications of measles while hospitalized” and was not vaccinated. The hospital declined to say which day the child died."

A unvaccinated school-age child died of measles in February in Lubbock — the first measles death in the U.S. in a decade. In early March, an adult in New Mexico who was unvaccinated and did not seek medical care became the second measles-related death.

More than two months in, the West Texas outbreak is believed to have spread to New Mexico, Oklahoma and Kansas, sickening nearly 570 people. The World Health Organization also reported cases related to Texas in Mexico.r

The number of cases in Texas shot up by 81 between March 28 and April 4, and 16 more people were hospitalized. A team from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is on the ground in Texas assisting with outbreak response.

Nationwide, the U.S. has more than double the number of measles cases it saw in all of 2024.

This is tragic. These kids are innocent victims who did not have the ability to understand or agree to be unvaccinated.

This was completely preventable which makes this tragedy hurt more.

It's only preventable if parents aren't and stupid.

Parents that love their own egos more than their children are sick.

The.onyl way the country ever learns is when children die.

We used to have strong drug safety oversight because the nation was once gripped with fear when medicine given to children was purposefully spiked with car anti-freeze and it killed dozens of kids. We used to vaccinate children because so many died from measles and smallpox, or they were permanently injured for life from polio.

Many more kids need to die before the idiots in this country understand how utterly moronic it is to have leather faced brain worm in charge. This country is full of low IQ, low information imbeciles who need to relearn history all over again the hard way.

Fine. Give them what they want. Start digging the mass graves for children and prepping the iron lungs for kids.

When are we going to here about measles parties, injecting bleach, and consuming horse paste?

Those poor kids don't deserve moron parents for something preventable.
