Parents claim measles is not that bad after having only one child die
2025-03-23 00:47:50
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.

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
