Man Whose Daughter Died From Measles Stands By Decision To Not Vaccinate Her: “The Vaccination Has Stuff We Don’t Trust”

The father of the six-year-old girl who became the first measles death in the United States in 10 years says he has no regrets about his decision to not vaccinate the child, because that’s how little he trusts vaccines. 

Identified only as Peter, the father from Seminole, Texas (the small town at the centre of the recent outbreak), told The Atlantic:

“The vaccination has stuff we don’t trust. 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, even though it was essentially eradicated at the turn of the last century, which you’d think was due to generation after generation of people getting vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella. Peter even said that he had family in Canada and Mexico who had also gotten measles recently.

“Everybody has it. It’s not so new for us.”

Peter is part of a religious, traditional Christian sect known as Mennonites. There’s nothing in the group’s doctrine that bars modern medicine, but even still, the Mennonites are vaccines sceptics, which is fair enough.

Peter told the Atlantic interviewer that the death of his daughter was God’s will. After all, God created measles and allowed the disease to take his daughter’s life:

“Everybody has to die” 

“It’s very hard, very hard. It’s a big hole.”

I suppose that’s one way of looking at it, although saying “everybody has to die” about your six-year-old daughter is f***ing crazy. I’m pretty sure in hindsight, his six-year-old daughter would have preferred taking the vaccine so she could stay alive. Although with parents like Peter, maybe we can’t make that assumption.

What’s really sad is that Peter can’t admit he was wrong to refuse the measles vaccine for his daughter. He would rather chalk his child’s death up to “it happens” than face the reality that he got this one fatally wrong. I mean, Even RFK Jr’s kids are vaccinated against measles, and he’s the biggest anti-vaxxer there is.

Of course, it’s all well and good to be skeptical of vaccines, but I think measles is something you definitely want to protect your children from, so you might say it’s one that’s worth the relatively low risk. Tragically, Peter did not think so, and still doesn’t.
