CHD.TV Exclusive: Parents of Child Who Died During Texas Measles Outbreak Speak Out

The parents of the 6-year-old West Texas child who died in a hospital after testing positive for measles shared their story with Children’s Health Defense’s (CHD) Polly Tommey and Brian Hooker, Ph.D., in a live interview recorded Saturday in Seminole, Texas.

SUMMARY:

  • Parents took daughter to the doctor two days after tell-tale rash appeared. She was given something for her cough and told to take Tylenol for the fever.
  • Measles started going away but fever got worse.
  • Daughter complained of fatigue and had abnormal breathing.
  • Took daughter to ER and staff determined she had pneumonia in the left lung that would get better if they drained the fluids, which for some reason they never did.
  • Before admission to the ICU a nurse mentioned breathing treatments, but upon being transferred the nurse then said it wouldn’t do her any good.  By this point measles were mostly gone.
  • Hospital staff chose to sedate her and put her on a ventilator.
  • The parents were called while at home and told their daughter was getting very bad. Staff asked if they could put her on life support because it was probably the only thing that could save her; however, the doctor later stated she was probably too sick to put on life support.
  • The four siblings came down with measles shortly after their sister died in the hospital, but this time a doctor drove to their town to assess and treat the children with cod liver oil and budesonide, a steroid that reduces inflammation in the airways.  All recovered within five days.

**Comment**

Truly a heart breaking story and outcome.  

Once again it shows how an independent doctor could save your life, and how hospitals are the new ‘killing fields’ to be avoided at all costs.  These monoliths are beholden to government funding, as are doctors who take money from insurance companies and the government for utilizing certain drugs/interventions over others.  This is a glaring conflict of interest that needs to end now.
