The parents of a Texas girl who died from the measles are defending their decision not to vaccinate their daughter. "She says they would still say 'Don't do the shots,'" an unidentified translator for the parents said. "They think it’s not as bad as the media is making it out to be."

"They believe she’s better off where she is now," continued the translator, which is probably true, because when she was alive she had to live with her parents in West Texas.

"The measles wasn’t that bad. They got over it pretty quickly," the mother said of her four surviving children who were treated with castor oil and inhaled steroids, then recovered. The deceased girl’s father insisted that measles helps build up a person's immune system. His dead daughter had a different opinion on the matter.

For those keeping score at home, the parents are saying that they'd rather have their kids get sick, have 1 out of 5 of them die, and treat them with a castor oil and steroid cocktail rather than have them vaccinated. Because everyone knows that that there are no side effects when children snort steroids.

The parents' interview was recorded Saturday can be seen on the website of Children's Health Defense, an organization founded in 2007 by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is now secretary for the U.S. Health and Human Services Department. Children's Health Defense promotes medical treatments that kill 20% of the children in families that use them.
