SHOCKING: Texas Parents Who Lost Child To Measles Are Still Anti-Vax

A young Mennonite couple who recently lost their 6-year-old daughter to measles, a deadly disease easily prevented with the MMR vaccine, still claims to be anti-vaccination.

The couple appeared in a video produced by an anti-vaccine advocacy group called Children's Heath Defense, where they urged others to continue to avoid vaccinating their children despite losing their precious little girl, which is nothing short of shocking.

Willful ignorance is truly evil.

My heart breaks for their 6-year-old girl who had a persistent fever and struggled to breathe before she was finally taken to an emergency room. She was diagnosed with pneumonia and placed on a ventilator where she later died.

Four other children in the family contracted mild cases of measles after their sister's funeral. They miraculously survived by sheer luck and untested treatments from Veritas Wellness, a holistic clinic in Lubbock, Texas. They were given things like cod liver oil, vitamin C, and the steroid budesonide.

1 in 5 unvaccinated children diagnosed with measles are taken to the hospital, according to the CDC. That was exactly the case for this family of unvaccinated kids.

Are you willing to lose one of your children? I guess they were...

Two doses of the MMR vaccine have a 97% success rate in preventing measles.

What a shame to be more or less "okay" with losing one of your five children when you could have easily kept them all safe, healthy, and alive, and what a disgrace to their daughter's memory to astoundingly continue to tell others to neglect life-saving vaccinations.

The guilt of knowing I could have saved my child and simply chose not to would eat me alive.

I hope they realize one day that they are responsible and that the influence of their words in this anti-vax propaganda video could in turn be responsible for the early demise of many more.
