The Texas Tribune reports:
When Daisy Hildebrand became the second Texas child to die of measles on April 3, her physicians reported – per the state health code – the 8-year-old’s death to local officials in Lubbock where she died and in tiny Gaines County where the girl lived.
In deference to the girl’s family, who planned to bury her the following Sunday, officials determined that sharing the news with the public could wait until the following week. “There’s a protocol that is generally followed,” said Zach Holbrooks, the executive director of the South Plains Public Health District, which covers four counties, including Gaines. “We put information out in a measured, careful manner.”
But Holbrooks’ plans were dashed when the day before Daisy’s funeral, communication of her death was leaked by private channels and commandeered by a vocal, growing movement critical of vaccines. Instead of a clinical state or hospital press release, news of Daisy’s death came from the highly-charged writings of vaccine critic Dr. Robert Malone, a physician once labeled by The New York Times as a “Covid misinformation star.”
Read the full article.
Daisy’s father is blaming Malone for having to “fight off the media” at his daughter’s funeral. He also says that Malone is lying when he says that Daisy’s family wanted him to tell their story. But, as the Texas Tribune notes, Daisy’s father claims his daughter didn’t actually die of measles because, he says, nobody does.
Malone first appeared here in January 2022 when Joe Rogan promoted his “massive” anti-vax rally at the DC Capitol.
Later that same month, Eric Clapton publicly backed Malone’s claim that the media had “hypnotized” people into getting the COVID vaccine.
In April 2022, Malone appeared here when he had the infamous “pee-drinking vaccine police leader” ejected from a Jacksonville anti-vax event.
Also in April 2022, Malone helped convince Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee into making horse paste available over-the counter.
In August 2022, Malone appeared on a CPAC panel alongside Mehmet Oz, who is now in charge of Medicare and Medicaid. Malone has appeared at every CPAC conference since then.
Hit the link, there’s more crazy.
Vaccine critics have downplayed the role of measles in two Texas girls’ deaths, peddled unproven measles treatments and exaggerated the dangers of the vaccine. https://t.co/s0zbLm2iJp
