think it's the doctors that screwed this up. I guess you have to tell yourself something if you killed your own child out of ignorance. How else could you live with yourself?

A Texas couple whose unvaccinated 6-year-old daughter died after being hospitalized for measles last month, marking the nation’s first child death from the virus in a decade, said they have no regrets about not vaccinating their children and would urge others not to.
“We would absolutely not take the MMR,” the child’s mother said of the measles-mumps-rubella vaccination in an interview with the anti-vaccine nonprofit Children’s Health Defense, which was founded by vaccine critic and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

A Texas couple whose unvaccinated 6-year-old daughter died after being hospitalized for measles last month, marking the nation’s first child death from the virus in a decade, said they have no regrets about not vaccinating their children and would urge others not to.
“We would absolutely not take the MMR,” the child’s mother said of the measles-mumps-rubella vaccination in an interview with the anti-vaccine nonprofit Children’s Health Defense, which was founded by vaccine critic and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The mother, whose name was not shared, reasoned that her other four children, ages 7, 5, 3 and 2, also contracted the highly contagious, but preventable, respiratory disease during her daughter’s illness and were fine after being given some cough medicine, which she said her 6-year-old did not receive.
“The measles wasn’t that bad and they got over it pretty quickly,” she said of her other children.
“Also, the measles are good for the body,” said the child’s father, who was also not identified in the interview. He reasoned that the virus boosts the immune system, something that Kennedy recently said in an interview with Fox News but that studies have disputed.

The parents raised concerns in their interview about the child’s hospital treatment, with the mother questioning whether more could have been done to save her. The nonprofit also shared a video on social media that questioned whether the child was given a proper antibiotic.
