A child who was not vaccinated has died from measles in West Texas, the first death in an outbreak that began late last month and the first from measles in the U.S. since 2015.
The death was a “school-aged child who was not vaccinated” and had been hospitalized last week, the Texas Department of State Health Services said Wednesday in a statement. Lubbock health officials also confirmed the death, but neither agency provided more details. A news conference is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.
Covenant Children’s Hospital in Lubbock didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office.
The fact that it is not mandatory should not even register with anyone with half a brain cell.
The US is just so stupidly backwards and going even further in that direction that it’s even an option to not vaccinate your kids.
All that’s going to happen is that this country will push out all the intelligent people who will want to leave for somewhere with some intelligence and the oligarchs will be left to rule over a blatantly stupid populace who force themselves into slavery
RFK Jr wants to cut back on medical research and other countries have already said “come over here to continue your work” so yeah, we’ll definitely see a lot of people leaving.
