The parents of an unvaccinated 6-year-old girl who died of measles in Texas last month sat down for an interview with Children’s Health Defense (CHD), the rabid anti-vaccine organization founded and run until recently by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is now US health secretary under the Trump administration.
The child’s vaccine-preventable death marked the first measles fatality in the US in a decade. It’s a tragedy that stands as a dark reminder of the dangers of the disease—one of the most infectious known to humankind—and the importance of the life-saving vaccinations. But, in the interview, CHD wielded the loss of the young child as a means to downplay the deadly disease, attack the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella vaccine, tout unproven treatments, and spread misinformation.
Preventable death
The video interview, which was posted Monday, begins with the grieving parents, who are Mennonites, recounting their daughter’s decline amid sobs: She came down with measles, developed the tell-tale rash, and then her fever kept climbing, and her breathing worsened. They took her to the emergency room and she was admitted to the hospital. Doctor’s found she had developed pneumonia, a known complication of measles that strikes about 1 in 20 children infected and is the most common cause of measles deaths in young children. Her condition deteriorated, she was moved to the intensive care unit, intubated, but continued to decline and died.
