[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just stop with all the fearmongering. [b]There is no information about the health of the child who died.[/b] I've posted before that I had measles as a child as did my parents and their parents and all my friends and relatives and not anyone we knew or anyone they knew died. This child must have been very sick. It's quite sad that he wasn't vaccinated, but he might have died  from something else if he were very sick. Measles is not polio. It's not going to spark a pandemic. All will be well. Calm down. [/quote]

Yes, there is information. They died from measles, a wholly preventable disease.[/quote]

Preexisting conditions?[/quote]
Let's pretend the child had diabetes. What is your next step, after obtaining that information? I'm genuinely confused about why you need this information. [/quote]

I'm not the anti-vax PP you were responding to but I came to this thread to figure out why I'm seeing people online talk about this child who died.

They seem to be saying the child who died of measles, actually was hospitalized with RSV AND Pneumonia as well and then picked up measles in the hospital.

I've seen that two places now. But they won't cite their source of that information. I came here to see if anyone was also saying that?  But apparently not.

Anyhow - that's what is going around the anti-vax, measles isn't that big a deal TikTok world - the child had "pre existing conditions" of RSV and Pneumonio, and then acquired measles while in the hospital.  So they didn't die "of measles".

Even *if* that information were true (again - no source for it) -- STILL -- they would have died of the measles.  Because a sick child in the hospital should not be getting measles - which could kill him in his weakened state. That's exactly why you vaccinate your kids - so if they are sick with other things, vaccine preventable diseases don't kill them.[/quote]

Searched google filtered by the past week for the RSV/measles piece and yes it appears to be random bot accounts commenting on things. Found one who purports to be a nurse but is also listed as a digital creator and a separate account for the same person on threads was posting other random antivax stuff. Basically, astroturfing the fake info then others see the comments and think the person is legit.

So, in sum, evidence of how stupid our society is to literally just believe unverified sh*t on the internet. [/quote]
