@tracy_tysonmd: Two people died from measles today in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Both were unvaccinated. For 35 years, Pennsylvania had not lost a life to measles. Today, that changed. (Pennsylvania.gov) This is what I need people to understand: misinformation does not stay on social media. It follows people into their homes. Into pediatricians’ offices. Into emergency rooms. Into ICUs. And sometimes, into the morgue. When people are taught to fear a vaccine more than the disease it prevents, there can be real consequences. If you’re scared, skeptical, or have questions about vaccines—please talk to us. Ask us the hard questions. Bring us the videos and posts you’ve seen. You deserve good information without judgment. But please don’t let someone selling fear—and maybe something with a discount code at the end of it—make a medical decision for your family. Misinformation has consequences. And today, two families are living with them. #Measles #Vaccines #VaccineEducation #Misinformation #Pediatrics

B🍍 :

I got my son his 2 & 4 month shots and then stopped. He’s 14 months now and I’ve been so terrified to give him anymore 🥲🥲 even talking with my pedi, I don’t feel comfortable.

TYRA :

We don’t know if they died with measles or of measles.

H e at her :

Do you have proof of this?

TE :

You should probably delete this 🤦🏼‍♂️

Rad_chel :

Makes me nervous having a 4 month old when he can’t get the MMR for another 8 months 🥲

Vickimaust60 :

Our choices are rock and a hard place 🤷

arlpat :

They were 80 years old!

alyse :

this is such a weird and insensitive, callous take. the family was interviewed. they are amish. the mother wasn’t unvax because she believed everything you said in this video☹️we’re missing compassion. my dr told me i had no mmr immunity once i was 12 weeks pregnant even though i was fully vax as a child. obviously i cannot get vax while pregnant. would you say these same callous comments about me?

queen_bee_zee :

The coroner would bed to differ. The newborn died with a ruptured spleen from a traumatic birth. While measles was present, pathology confirmed there was no inflammation in the spleen. It was not the cause of death. The state associated it with measles. That’s like somebody having the flu and getting shot and they say they died from the flu. No more information on the other individual, however, the coroner also stated that is it was from measles that would be confirmed and it has not been.

Keaton 🌷 :

True or false. We only know information about one, who was a newborn, who the coroner said *did not die from measles*, but who had measles antibodies in their system. Why are headlines changing?

skewesa :

You don’t even know their age, you have no clue why they weren’t vaccinated. This whole video is based on assumptions that they didn’t get vaccinated recently. They might be 70 years old. This video is misinformation

Taco2burrito :

Boy 2, girl 6 weeks old with encephalitis

meowamine :

WOW. Well said.

seabound10 :

For the last time the coroner’s report read that the baby died from a ruptured spleen. Not measles. The baby had the antibodies. So please stop spreading this false narrative. It’s not helping push vaccines nor is it fair to put information into the universe that is not truth!

Nurse Jeri Michelle :

So sad bc completely preventable.

meganxcw :

I noticed you’re a pediatrician and have a random question 😅 if I have an anaphylactic reaction to an antibiotic is my son at risk of the allergy as well? Sorry Ik it’s not vaccine related

Kyle Frey :

And Josh Shapiro keeps lying to Pennsylvania

kcreatinine :

Catherine Montantes was vaccinated and died of measles in 2015. She was winning her battle with autoimmune disease. We have the same year of birth. Someone with measles was in a clinic hours before her. It’s so contagious.

chikinslut :

these comments are fucking insane??? two people died and yall think SHE'S the problem??? people are so fucking dumb ma'am thank you for trying to educate people

Janice111 :

I don’t think so. More propaganda and not sharing all info.

Stevorino :

The pathologist ruled that the infant cause of death was blood loss from a lacerated spleen. the second victim has not been found and the state refuses to release information to the Forensic center

Andy :

How do you know that? They haven't even released names or ANY information. You really know exactly "WHY"? Come on.

Dad Ryder :

You're spreading falsehoods.
