Six-Week-Old Infant Dies in Pennsylvania Measles Outbreak
🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
This entirely preventable tragedy is the bitter fruit of sagging vaccination rates and dangerous public silence on proven safeguards.
💡 Why it matters
The death of a vulnerable infant underscores how falling MMR vaccination rates risk more outbreaks and fatalities among the unvaccinated.
A six-week-old child in Pennsylvania has died from measles, as confirmed by the Lancaster County coroner, amid a growing outbreak in the county. Two other measles-related deaths were previously reported in the area last week.
