## Anti-Vaxx Mom Whose Daughter Died From Measles Says Disease 'Wasn't That Bad'

Authored by latintimes.com

The parents of an unvaccinated Texas child who died from measles appeared in a video formulated by an anti-vaccine advocacy group where they railed against vaccines, even saying the disease "wasn't that bad.'.

A 6-year-old Texan died after contracting measles last month, marking the first death of a child in the U.S. caused by the highly contagious illness in nearly a decade.

During the interview, the young couple doubled down on their decision not to vaccinate their child even after her death.

Hailing from the Mennonite community, they argued that if measles patients had access to untested treatments, the MMR vaccines would be entirely unnecessary.

"Do you still feel the same way about the MMR vaccine versus measles and the proper treatment with Dr. Ben Edwards?".

However, days after contracting the illness, the child's fever continued and respiratory symptoms worsened as she began struggling to breathe.

The girl's parents took her to a hospital emergency room where she was admitted and diagnosed with pneumonia. »

That includes Social Security numbers, medical provider information, medical and mental health treatment records, employer and employee payment records, employee earnings, addresses, bank records and tax information. »
