Things that are not part of politics happening presently and how we approach or address it as Anabaptists.

CNN, admittedly not considered the highest quality of sources wrote:The woman contracted measles after a family member had it as well, Furlong told CNN, and noted she also had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, and asthma, and had been on supplemental oxygen 24 hours a day before getting measles.
The coroner says this was a death "from measles complications"; it is obvious this poor woman was not in the best of health in general, though.
It is a measles related death.
Did anyone claim otherwise?
People who die from measles generally die either from pneumonia or encephalitis. This death is from pneumonia.
OK. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Obviously, you have more training and experience than the physician that did this determination.
Where did I claim that?

CDC sends a ‘disease detective’ to Pennsylvania amid measles outbreak

A wee little man can’t say, I’m sorry. A big man owns his mistakes and apologizes.
A wee little man trusts himself and his own discernment. A big man is humble enough to know that he needs the counsel and input of others.

Hmm
In that same post, Kennedy claimed at length that the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine contained “fetal tissue,” an assertion which Shapiro and medical professionals reject. The American Academy of Pediatrics has said that vaccines do not contain fetal cells.
Except... MMR vaccines do contain foetal tissue grown from still-living cells extracted from an aborted baby.

It's interesting how the denials of something that is obviously so.

It's spreading amongst the unvaccinated Amish particularly. Pretty concerning.
