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.
Sorry for the kid. Maybe the parents will also learn the legal side of “criminal neglect”. They simply murdered their own child.
Could they be arrested for this though? Getting vaccinated isn’t mandatory. They made the very poor decision to not vaccinate their child, but is it neglect?
These morons think God’s will controls everything, apparently it didn’t occur to them that God also intended for humans to create vaccines.
Only if the parents are brown.
If white, “it was gawds will”.
The chances of America charging these parents is zero. And this poor kid is just a herald of of things to come - people dying of preventable, contagious diseases because morons and kooks think vaccines are some kind of left wing conspiracy.
