Texas children reported for the first time in the US measles in 10 years.
Texas is the first child to die from measles in the United States in 10 years.
The parents of a six -year -old girl who have not been vaccinated by measles say, but they are not in favor of vaccination.
In an emotional video interview with the anti -batestine group children’s health defense published earlier this week, the Menonite husband and wife explained how five children (not all vaccinations) were infectious. The first time they became sick, their daughter died of the first measles in the United States in 10 years. She died at the end of February.
Their family lives in Gainz County and is part of the Mino Knight community, where measles spread from January. Hundreds of people are hospitalized and hundreds of cases are almost entirely not vaccinated.
The wife spoke in English, referring to measles, flaws and rubella vaccines. that vaccine Very effective in preventing measles. Even one dose provides 93%protection to humans, and the overall double -taking series offers 97%protection. Officials said the girl had no fundamental health.
The wife added that there was measles during her daughter’s funeral. Her four other children are sik after a few days. “They overcame it quite quickly,” she said.
at interview The couple, who were not identified by the March 15 name, spoke in English and low German through translators with Polly Tomey, the managing director of the Children’s Health, and Brian Hooker, the chief scientific officer of the group. Children’s health defense was established by the Minister of Health and Human Service of Robert F. Kennedy JR. and was accused of being a mixed and wrong message about the largest measles in six years.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare did not respond to the request.
Parents said that a six -year -old child has a measles for several days. Other children in the community had measles and heard about the spread, parents said.
Measles: Who is in danger and who is immune from the virus
As measles continue to spread in the United States, there are people who are in danger and who are immune from one of the most contagious viruses in the world.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in five people who contract measles in the United States are admitted to the hospital and 1 to three of 1,000 children infected with 1,000 people die. About one out of 20 children with measles has pneumonia, which is the most common cause of death for young children. In rare cases, children can cause brain swelling, which can cause spasms, hearing impairments and intellectual disorders.
My parents took my daughter to Covenant Children’s Hospital. Her breath was not normal, but his wife said. But she said it wasn’t bad.
A hospital official said she had pneumonia. She helped to breathe and gave antibiotics. A few days later, the child died of pneumonia, they said.
In subsequent measures articleChildren’s health defense accused the hospital in the treatment of “medical errors.” The group quoted a doctor, Dr. Pierre Kory, a medical record. Losing medical certification After spreading the wrong information during the covid-19 pandemic, it includes the treatment of lungs and intensive care.
On Thursday, Covenant Children ‘S said that a video that circulates online is a misunderstanding of hospital treatment and contains inaccurate claims. Hospital officials urged them to talk to medical providers by urging questions about measles. Patient confidential laws prevent hospitals from providing information directly related to the case, a hospital official said.
After a six -year -old girl died, the parents said that the other four children came down to the rash and told me about the signs of measles.
My father said in English. He said in German that immunity from measles through translators would not be easily obtained by children. This is not supported by evidence.
In a recent interview, Kennedy treated measles by accepting treatments such as Daegu liver oil containing vitamin A. Experts say that COD liver oil is not evidence -based treatment. Vitamin A is generally used in malnutrition patients who are not accessible to vaccines, but are not effective in the United States, where malnutrition is not common.
The parents said they found treatment from a local doctor who promoted such treatment.
HHS and CDC were called the best tools that include spreads, but Kennedy and civil servants constructed them with personal choices or suspected of vaccine safety. Experts say vaccination is the best tool.
