Parents: Measles Didn’t Kill Girl In Texas
Note: This article is for information only and is not a substitute for advice by a healthcare provider.
The measles outbreak in Texas in January caused considerable alarm – especially when it was reported that a girl there died of measles. This outbreak has also led to a deep dive into vaccines which the government and media continue to assure us are “safe and effective”. However, Shocking Documentary: “Thank You Dr. Fauci” shows how fast the assurances given for the COVID shots are unraveling now.
Now, the truth about measles and the measles vaccine is changing the way Americans choose to protect their children. It’s based on informed consent rather than mandates. How Big Ag/Big Pharma Keep America Sick explains that American medicine is failing in chronic disease. According to the Peterson-KFF Health Care Tracker, Americans spend an average of $12,555 per person on health care annually. By comparison, typical health care spending across other developed nations is about $6,651, However, Americans are the sickest, fattest, unhealthiest population. The US ranks high in infant mortality and ranks low in life expectancy compared to other industrialized nations. This makes it clear that the American approach to healthcare is not working well.
In 2024, Robert Kennedy Jr. stopped his campaign for the US presidency and joined Trump’s Transition Team. Trump later nominated Kennedy to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services. RFK Jr. Confirmed As HHS Secretary shows that Kennedy was confirmed as HHS Secretary on February 13. Kennedy’s job is to “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA). President Trump Establishes MAHA Commission as Kennedy Is Sworn in to Lead HHS.
Deeper Understanding of Measles Outbreak explains that during President Trump’s White House Cabinet Meeting on February 26, Kennedy pointed out that measles outbreaks are not unusual. There were 16 last year and 4 so far this year. If the corporate media reported that, there might be less hysteria over the current outbreak.
Dr. Pierre Kory: Measles Didn’t Kill Six-Year-Old Girl
Dr. Pierre Kory shows in the article further below that the girl in Texas did not die of measles, but of poor medical treatment.
Dr. Kory is the founder of the FLCCC: Frontline COVID Care Clinic. In 2020, Dr. Kory testified before Congress and urged the FDA to consider Ivermectin as an outpatient treatment for COVID. Ivermectin had won a Nobel Prize in Medicine. Dr. Kory is the author of the 2023 book War on Ivermectin: The Medicine that Saved Millions and Could Have Ended the Pandemic. Dr. Pierre Kory: The vast majority of “long Covid” patients are actually “long vax” patients.
WATCH: Homeland Security hearing on early outpatient treatment for COVID-19. Instead of using Ivermectin to treat COVID, the US government and corporate media ridiculed Ivermectin as “horse medicine”. The Emergency Use Authorizations for the expensive, rushed, poorly-tested, gene-altering COVID shots were illegal because EUAs can be issued ONLY if NO treatment is available. Yet, it was known in early 2020 that HCQ, Vitamin D, Vitamin C, budesonide, and Ivermectin were inexpensive effective treatments for COVID.
Documentary “Follow The Silenced” March 15 shows that the US government and corporate media continue to ignore the unprecedented level of injuries and deaths caused by the COVID shots. Big Pharma made billions of dollars from the shots but has no liability for deaths or injuries they caused.
Ivermectin quickly cured COVID in India in April 2021.

Texas Parents Says Measles Didn’t Kill Their Daughter
Texas Parents, Doctors Say Measles Didn’t Kill Six-Year-Old Girl 3/21/25
The parents of the 6-year-old girl who died at a hospital in Lubbock, Texas, asserted that measles didn’t kill their daughter as she also had pneumonia, and doctors who reviewed the medical records concur. Speaking publicly for the first time on Saturday — sometimes with the help of a German translator — the parents also said that their daughter was denied breathing treatments and life support.

On February 26, the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), announced the “first death from measles in the ongoing outbreak in the South Plains and Panhandle regions,” though the parents said they are still awaiting a death certificate and an official cause of death.
And on Wednesday, Dr. Pierre Kory, whose specialties include reviewing medical cases for malpractice lawyers, said the girl “did not die of measles by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, she died of pneumonia.” Kory reviewed the hospital records along with Dr. Ben Edwards, who is the physician treating the deceased child’s four siblings, and Brian Hooker, Chief Scientific Officer of Children’s Health Defense, and spoke of their findings Wednesday on CHD.TV.
“It gets worse than that,” Kory said, “because she didn’t really die of the pneumonia; she died of a medical error, and that error was a completely inappropriate antibiotic. It was an insufficient antibiotic.”
[A portion of Dr. Kory’s interview on CHD.TV was posted on and then removed from Instagram, owned by Meta.]
The child’s measles were disappearing by the time she entered the hospital a few days prior to her death, and doctors quickly diagnosed her with pneumonia. “She died of mycoplasma, and the tragedy is that mycoplasma is an extremely common, what we call, ‘community acquired organism.’
This is very commonly circulating in the community, It causes pneumonia,” Kory said. The child’s passing set off a media firestorm. Some unvaccinated Mennonites are being blamed for spreading measles, and the DSHS is advising MMR vaccines for the populace. The Kennedy Beacon asked the DSHS to respond to Kory’s analysis of the medical records, but has not received a response.

Kory said that doctors should have put the child on antibiotics that would cover the most common organism, in this case, ceftriaxone, which they did, but also something from a macrolide or a quinolone category, the most common being azithromycin, which they did not.
Instead, he said, the doctors added vancomycin, which covers drug resistant organisms like MRSA. “There’s no reason to think that this child would come in with MRSA” from the Mennonite community, he asserted. “It’s a grievous error, and it’s an error which led to her death,” he said.
Kory added that, since the girl was not getting better with the treatments she was receiving, hospital doctors should have tried something different, which they eventually did, though too late. “When they realized that they were missing the appropriate antibiotic, it took them, as far as I can tell, 10 hours to administer it,” Kory said. “And, by that time, she was already on a ventilator … Less than 24 hours later, she died.”
Kory said the records show that the girl was in a state of shock, her blood pressure crashed and she arrested, adding: “I can only surmise that she died of catastrophic pulmonary embolism.” He also said that bacterial pneumonia can happen after any viral infection, not just measles.
“You see the media is going nuts about how everyone needs to get vaccinated,” Kory noted. “ I would tell you just simple, straightforward, correct medical care — we’ve been treating pneumonia for decades with antibiotics, and this was just a tragic error.”
“It doesn’t look like doctoring at all,” added Hooker, “She passed away from medical error.”
Wednesday’s interview with Kory follows CHD.TV’s earlier interview with the deceased child’s parents, who offered details of their daughter’s final days.
The child’s mom explained that her daughter developed measles on a Saturday and she took her to a doctor the following Monday, when she was given cough medicine and told to use Tylenol for the fever.
While the timeline wasn’t specified, some days later, the parents took their daughter to the emergency room at Covenant Children’s Hospital in Lubbock.
“I just noticed one morning that she was saying she was getting very tired, and I was just noticing her breathing wasn’t normal,” the child’s mother told Polly Tommey of CHD.TV.
“We just decided we’d go to emergency and get it checked out,” the mother said during the video interview. “ It wasn’t anything bad, like, very bad, it was just something I was concerned about.”
While their daughter’s measles were disappearing, her fever kept “going higher and higher,” the father said during the interview.
When they arrived at the hospital, they were asked whether their daughter had the MMR vaccine, which she had not. Doctors soon informed them that their daughter had pneumonia in her left lung. “Just a little bit,” the mother told CHD. “But they said if it would get worse they would probably drain the fluids and it would get better, but they never did, I don’t know why not; they didn’t tell us.”
She continued, “One nurse mentioned, she was talking about breathing treatments, that’s when they transferred her downstairs. And then I asked the nurse later if they were still going to do some breathing treatments, and she just said it wasn’t going to do very good … no explanation.”
The mother said her daughter didn’t want to talk because she was too tired and it was difficult for her to breathe. She was drinking, but sores in her mouth largely prevented her from eating.
The hospital medical staff put the young girl on a mechanical ventilator, and the parents were told they couldn’t spend the night in their daughter’s hospital room, so hospital staffers instead rented them a hotel room.
When they left their daughter, she was sedated and intubated, a medical procedure whereby a tube is inserted into the body to assist with breathing. “She was asleep the whole time, until she was gone,” the mother explained.
“What was the last thing she said to you?” the interviewer asked, causing the mother to sob. “I just remember her, before they wanted to put her on the ventilator, that she was very thirsty, right, like she was very thirsty, her mouth was all sticky, and I wanted to give her water, but they didn’t let me,” said the mom.
The prognosis, they were told, was the same, that she’d be better in a couple of days, though that proved sadly, horribly inaccurate. By this time, two grandparents, the dad’s mother and father, were also at the hospital, so it was decided they’d stay the night at the grandparents’ home with the other four children, planning to return to the hospital the next day. The child’s four siblings were not allowed to visit their sister.
The parents explained during the interview that the hospital called at 4:30 a.m. and the father answered the phone. “They said she was getting very bad. We had to go, we had to come really fast to the hospital,” he said.
When they were about 50 minutes away from the hospital, they received another phone call, this time asking the mother if they had permission to put the child on life support. “Yes, whatever it takes to save her,” she responded.
When they arrived, they were told to wait, then a doctor informed them that their daughter was “was probably too sick to put her on life support, and her brain was probably passed away, anyways,” according to the mother. She died soon thereafter.
The Beacon reached out to the hospital by email with the following questions:
“When can we expect a death certificate and the cause of death?”
“Also, why were breathing treatments denied?”
“Why were the four siblings not allowed to see their sister at the hospital?”
“Why were the parents told to leave their daughter’s room and instead go to a hotel?”
“Why was life support denied?”
The Beacon will update this story should the hospital respond.
Two days after the passing of their sister, her four siblings also got the measles, and were treated by Edwards. Edwards told the Beacon he treated the siblings, 7, 5, 3 and 2 years old, with Tylenol, vitamin A, cod liver oil and budesonide, typically used for asthma, COPD, hay fever and other conditions.
“Dr. Ben came helping us and he gave them treatments … they had a really good, quick recovery,” said the mom. “We would absolutely not take the MMR. The measles wasn’t that bad. They got over it pretty quickly, and Dr. Edwards was there for us,” she said. “He was amazing,” the father added.
When the couple was asked what they’d say to parents who believe they must vaccinate their babies because the media is reporting their daughter died of measles, a German interpreter stepped in to further explain the question.
“They would still say, don’t do the shots. There’s doctors that can help with measles. They’re not as bad as they’re making it out to be,” the interpreter said, translating what the couple had told her in German.
.On Wednesday, Edwards told CHD.TV: “I know this is an inflammatory subject. It’s a tragic error. I do want to say, as I look through the medical records, there was some outstanding care given all along the way. And, as Dr. Kory pointed out, this was a big mistake, a tragic mistake and, I agree, a fatal mistake.”
Dr. Richard Bartlett: Budesonide COVID “Silver Bullet”
Richard Bartlett, MD is a physician in Midland and Amarillo, Texas with over 28 years of experience as an emergency room physician. In March 2020, Dr. Bartlett found that budesonide was a cheap effective treatment for COVID-19 breathing issues and reduced hospitalization by 90%. Dr. Bartlett called budesonide a “silver bullet” for COVID-19 and believes it could have save 450,000 lives!.

Vaxxed: From Coverup To Catastrophe Del Bigtree is the host of The Highwire which airs online Thursdays from 2-4 PM ET. Del was an Emmy-Award winning producer of The Doctors TV show. Del left the show to produce the film Vaxxed: From Cover-Up To Catastrophe which went viral in 2016.
The film shows that In 2014, a senior CDC scientist Dr. William Thompson anonymously contacted Brian Hooker who served on the board of Focus Autism. Dr. Thompson said he and his colleagues knew there was a connection between MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine and autism in African American boys, but that they covered it up. British Dr. Andrew Wakefield recommended that the MMR shots introduced in 1999 be given separately, but Big Pharma has refused to do that. Dr. Wakefield later directed Vaxxed.

Amazon DescriptionAs Andrew Wakefield states in his prologue, “If autism does not affect your family now, it will. If something does not change—and change soon—this is almost a mathematical certainty.
This book affects you also. It is not a parochial look at a trivial medical spat in the United Kingdom, but dispatches from the battlefront in a major confrontation—a struggle against compromise in medicine, corruption of science, and a real and present threat to children in the interests of policy and profit. It is a story of how ‘the system’ deals with dissent among its doctors and scientists.”
The Highwire:’s Deep Dive on Measles
Del has had three shows on the measles outbreak in Texas and emailed the following information on March 21.
The corporate media is whipping up hysteria over measles and pushing the same tired narrative:
“Measles is back.”
“The unvaccinated are to blame.”
“The only solution is more vaccines.”
When a child tragically died in Texas this month, public health officials immediately demanded more vaccination. However, they refuse to ask fundamental questions: Who was this child? Did the child have a pre-existing condition? How did doctors treat this child?
Instead of seeking the truth, the legacy news media peddle fear and misinformation. They claim measles is one of the most dangerous viruses. YET, before the vaccine the U.S. death rate for measles stood at approximately 1 in 10,000 cases and was rapidly declining before introduction of any vaccine—not the 1 in 1,000 or the 1 in 10 lie that public health agencies push today.
They insist the vaccine is 97% effective, BUT data from past outbreaks prove that 31-50% of measles cases occurred in vaccinated individuals. They promised the vaccine would eradicate measles. BUT if that were true, why do outbreaks still follow the same cyclical pattern seen before the vaccine?
Del discusses the Texas measles outbreak starting around 59 minutes in the video below.
Episode 415: MEASLES: INSIDE THE OUTBREAK
Dr. Richard Bartlett joins Del in-studio to share his firsthand experience treating children during the West Texas measles outbreak.
Baby Boomers: Last Generation With Lifelong Measles Immunity
Del’s March 13 show below includes a clip from the “Brady Bunch”1969 TV show “Is There a Doctor in the House?” which follows the Brady kids as they all came down with measles. Del points out that the show made light of measles. It was seen as a fun time. Neighborhoods often had “measles parties”.
People who got measles received lifelong immunity which Del says lowered their risk of heart attacks by 20%. However, adults who got the measles shots do not enjoy lifelong immunity. So, Baby Boomers are the last generation with lifelong immunity. Del explains that everyone else is dependent on a measles vaccine that might be aggravating the problem! He asks if the measles vaccine has made outbreaks more virulent now than they were?

RFK Jr. Points to Two Texas Doctors Treating Kids in Measles Outbreak
— Kennedy praised them for using budesonide, clarithromycin, and cod liver oil
In a recent interview with Fox News, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. highlighted the work of two local physicians treating patients in the Texas measles outbreak — Richard Bartlett, MD, and Ben Edwards, MD. Bartlett is an emergency medicine physician in Midland and Amarillo, and Edwards (whom Kennedy misstated in the interview as Ed Benjamin) is a family practice physician in Lubbock.
Kennedy praised the two doctors for treating more than 100 patients in the current outbreak, claiming that they are seeing “very, very good results” from the steroid budesonide, the antibiotic clarithromycin, and cod liver oil, which has high concentrations of vitamins A and D.
