Futurism: “Thus far, there’s only been one confirmed death in the measles outbreak spreading across North America — and the father of the unvaccinated child who died of the preventable disease is expressing no regrets about failing to get her the jab.
In a startling interview with The Atlantic, the father of the six-year-old girl who became the first measles death in the United States in 10 years discussed the beliefs that led up to her dying from an infectious disease that was essentially eradicated at the turn of the last century….
“The vaccination has stuff we don’t trust,” Peter told The Atlantic. “We don’t like the vaccinations, what they have these days. We heard too much, and we saw too much.”
Peter insists that measles is a normal part of life — although for much of the country, it is not, and hasn’t been for decades in the wake of generations of successful vaccination campaigns against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR)….
“Everybody has to die,” he told The Atlantic’s Tom Bartlett.
Still, Peter appeared to become emotional after that admission, telling the columnist that it was “very hard” to deal with the “big hole” in his life resulting from the loss of his young child.
It’s impossible to imagine what the man is going through — if only because it seems cruel to hold onto such regressive beliefs in the face of unnecessary death.”
