Summary

The parents of a 6-year-old unvaccinated Texas girl who died from measles stated in an interview that the disease “wasn’t that bad” despite her death.

The family belongs to a Mennonite community and remains opposed to the MMR vaccine, citing perceived risks. Four other siblings contracted milder cases.

Health officials and public figures, including RFK Jr., urged vaccination to curb the outbreak. The girl’s symptoms worsened to pneumonia before she died in intensive care.

The case marks the first U.S. child measles death in nearly a decade.

    They say no parent should ever have to bury their child.

    Not them. No, those monsters deserve it. The rest of their children too.

      Maybe reserve the word monsters for the real deal and not the watered down definition you are aiming for.

      You sound like a shitty person so far. Maybe just a bad morning?
