Inside ‘anti-vaxx’ US town being overwhelmed by world’s most infectious disease
Published By admin with Comments 0
An anti-vaxx town in the US is currently being gripped by the world’s most infectious disease – a horror measles outbreak that has so far killed two children. But residents in Seminole, Texas, are standing firm on their decision to stay vaccine free, with many claiming the jabs contain “dangerous stuff” and that big pharma have only manufactured them to make money.
This is despite the town’s most recent tragedy – the death of eight-year-old Daisy Hildebrand – who is now the second child to die from an escalating measles crisis sweeping Seminole. Her devastated father, Peter Hildebrand, is convinced his daughter did not die from the killer disease. He said: “She did not die of the measles. If there’s one thing you should know, it’s that. She was failed.” But Daisy’s death was confirmed to be from measles by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The dad added: “‘The [MMR] vaccine ain’t worth a damn. My brother’s family got it and they all still got sick — worse than my unvaccinated kids. This isn’t about the vaccine.” Hidlebrand believes Daisy died due to a failure in her medical care, including inadequate treatment and prejudice against the family for their Mennonite faith – a small Christian sect that favours “natural remedies” over modern medicine, MailOnline reports.
