The child had a rash and fever. Visited pediatrician Was prescribed fever reducing medication. 100% in line with protocol
So if you get measles, the protocol is treat with Tylenol and that’s it?

Did the family wait too long to actually go to see medical help or not?
in the interview the mother said she developed symptoms on Saturday and went to the doctors the Monday. the doctor didnt give any recommendations other than a cough suppressant and take tylenol for fever.
I'm uncertain they went back to the same doctor for the 3 other kids because that doctor recommended breathing treatments which the parents say helped the coughing. also its of note the mother says she was vaccinated as a child for mmr and caught the measles with the kids.
also, i've read the hospitals will mark you "unvaccinated" if you can not produce your immunization record. you may be telling them you took the vaccines, but they still wont mark you as vaccinated without the record. with technology in todays age you would think they could check your medical history to confirm it.

Rest
Symptom relief
Fluids
Fever reducing medication
It’s a virus man. That’s the reason vaccines are so cool for viruses

AI is telling me that Vitamin A is a big part of this if you get it. Did doctors just think it was one of the many types of respiratory illnesses or did they actually know it was measles?
Let’s also take in the #s here. There are like 378 cases this year 2025 mostly in this one small area of Texas. The population of Tx is 31 million. There were 285 cases in all of US in 2024. In the last 20yrs the average seems around 150 cases in US with a few spikes along the way the biggest being in 2019 at 1300ish. There are 340 million people in the US. This isn’t anything thing to get worked up about imo.

Vitamin A is prescribed less than 50% of the time for measles in the US. It isn’t standard protocol.
When it is, it has loose correlation to helping extreme measles cases (hence once hospitalized)
But it will kill more and more the less people are vaccinated. This is also true

Ok but it still isn’t killing or infecting many people at all. This is also true. So is there really any problem or is this more fear porn. The medical community already has a black eye as far as trust goes based on what they did to people during Covid.

Do you know that we have data from a time when there wasnt a measles vaccine? the survival rate before the vaccine was 99.9% and thats a time when 500k+ were being infected per year.

this may be true in todays day and age, but the most common protocol before the vaccine was Vitamin A as recommended by WHO and CDC for decades before the vaccine.
measles went from being "a virus we can live with" to "if you dont take this vaccine you'll die."
our pediatrician straight up told my wife that if my kid doesnt get the jab she will be hospitalized as if to imply every kid who catches measles ends up in the hospital.

Oh, the doctor who was a primary pusher of Ivermectin for COVID? Resigned from his job because of it? Yeah, nice source.

Ugh, you do realize there are also serious complications that can occur short of death:
quote:
Pneumonia. Measles can commonly cause an infection in the lungs (pneumonia). People with weakened immune systems can develop an especially dangerous type of pneumonia that sometimes can lead to death.
Encephalitis. About 1 in 1,000 people with measles can develop a complication called encephalitis. Encephalitis is irritation and swelling (inflammation) of the brain. The condition can be especially dangerous for people with weakened immune systems. Encephalitis may occur right after measles, or it might not occur until months later. Encephalitis can cause permanent brain damage.

i admire your confidence in your stupidity. its easy to see you didnt do a lick of research on the topic.
its hard to see but maybe you can pick out the main point of the quote.
WHO guidelines
ETA: i left off the most important part that pertains to this conversation
quote:
5.3 Immediate administration of vitamin A
Children
Vitamin A should be administered to all acute measles patients under 5 years of age, irrespective of the
timing of previous doses of vitamin A.
Most patients with measles, even in developed countries, have laboratory or clinical evidence of vitamin A
deficiency. Reduced blood levels of vitamin A may be partially due to the acute phase response that occurs
during infection (8). However, low blood levels of vitamin A are associated with more severe measles illness
and complications, especially ophthalmologic disease.
its hard to see but maybe you can pick out the main point of the quote.
WHO guidelines
ETA: i left off the most important part that pertains to this conversation
quote:
Two doses of vitamin A are recommended for all suspected measles cases in children under 5 years of age,
immediately on diagnosis and repeated the next day, according to the dosing indicated in Table 5.2 (9). This
treatment has been shown to reduce overall mortality in children (10,11) and pneumonia-specific mortality
in children with measles under 2 years of age (10).

I've met a lot of Mennonite families. What happened here is awful but it was very common less than 100 years ago which is how they choose to live thier lives. Honestly they are the most reasonable and well adjusted communities I've ever been around.
We really don't have any ground to criticize here given the trajectory of modern families. Modern society has people chemically altering themselves and chopping off their genitals in order to pretend to be a different gender.
A child dying of measles seems a hell of a lot more normal than what modern life has done to humanity.

"Some people let their kids be trans so dying of measles really isn't that bad" isn't a bar I'm willing to set. Just because some people do insane shite doesn't mean I have to accept innocent kids dying of easily preventable diseases.

Dude 378 cases out of 340million people. If you shrink it down to just Texas where the majority of the cases are that 32 million people.
This is NOT something to get worked up about or threaten to take someone’s kids away.
