[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]

The pp is justifying why there is no need to vaccinate his/her kid. [/quote]

I know that part. But I'm baffled about why they need to know this particular child's preexisting conditions. The MMR vaccine could have prevented the death regardless of preexisting conditions. This is a known fact.[/quote]

If the cause of death is pre-existing condition how would MMR prevent this death?  [/quote]

Why are you making stuff up?[/quote]

What stuff I am making up?  If someone has pre-existing conditions and dies from complications of these conditions and happens to test positive for some virus X, this doesn't mean that it's the virus X that caused this person's death.  Also, virus X could endanger the health of a person with pre-existing conditions putting them at risk of death, but this doesn't mean that another virus Y (for which there are no vaccinations) or some other health injury isn't going to do the same.  In other words MMR would reduce the risk of this person dying (from these diseases specifically), but would not prevent this person from dying of many other causes.

In fact, testing positive for Measles doesn't preclude there wasn't another virus or bacterial infection present that contributed or even started the chain of events that led to the person's death.

So you think this child died from cancer or ebola or something? [/quote]

Do children only die of cancer or ebola in the hospitals? [/quote]
