A school-age child has died from a rare complication of measles contracted in infancy, Los Angeles County health officials said Thursday.
The child, who had been too young to be vaccinated when they were infected by the virus, died of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, according to the county health department. The incurable disorder causes progressive brain damage and is nearly universally fatal.
About 1 in 10,000 people who get measles develops the disorder, but the risk is 1 in 600 for infants.
it kinda started with jenny mccarthny in the early 2000s and then it bloomed from there to “left leaning groups” suddenly the covid made them all switch political parties out of convenience. Also funny in the midwest it also includes “chronic lyme disease” which isnt a recognized disorder(all fake based on pseudoscience" as the actual disease is treatable, and they also buy into the anti-vax movement as well.
