What the mainstream media is hiding
Another child has died during the current measles epidemic in the US. She was infected and unvaccinated. But is that why she died – or because doctors mistreated her? Instead of investigating, the mass media uses this case to spread fear. Pressure is mounting on Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Suddenly, the notorious vaccine skeptic is urgently calling for measles vaccinations. Is he giving in?
On April 6, the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) reported “the second measles death” during the ongoing wave of infections in the United States. After testing positive for measles, a school-age child was admitted to a hospital in Lubbock, Texas, and died on April 3 “from complications of measles respiratory failure. The child was unvaccinated and had no known pre-existing medical conditions.”
Instead of investigating, leading media outlets in the US and worldwide have since adopted this official announcement without question – and used it to unanimously continue their scaremongering. In doing so, they are increasing the pressure on the new Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., until recently an unwavering vaccine skeptic. But now, in a supposed national emergency, he is emphatically calling for measles vaccinations.
Does Kennedy even know what really happened?
The truth is: On April 3, at 1:50 a.m., 8-year-old Daisy Hildebrand died at the University Hospital in Lubbock, about 80 miles from her family’s home in the rural community of Seminole in West Texas. She had contracted the measles virus. And she was unvaccinated. Kennedy was to have the rest of the truth about Daisy’s fate revealed to him by virologist Dr. Robert Malone, pulmonologist Dr. Pierry Kory, and biologist Brian Hooker – thanks to her parents, they were able to access her medical records. This revealed something shocking:
When Daisy’s parents brought her to the hospital, she had actually been recovering from her measles infection for two weeks. Nevertheless, she could hardly breathe, she was coughing, and she had a fever. Why?
In fact, the girl had been suffering from chronic tonsillitis for almost three months, which is why a tonsillectomy, the surgical removal of her tonsils, was already planned. In addition, there was mononucleosis triggered by an infection with the Epstein-Barr virus. The child subsequently developed sepsis, a bacterial blood poisoning. The causative agent was a highly antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli bacteria (“superbug”), which Daisy had presumably contracted during her initial hospital stay two weeks earlier in the intensive care unit.
This infection led to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) – and ARDS, unlike measles, is indeed life-threatening. Various studies have shown a mortality rate between 35 and 77%. (1)
“Crazy,” with “lousy ideas”: colleagues’ devastating assessment of Daisy’s doctors
Upon admission, Pete Hildebrand, the father, pleaded for his daughter to be given nebulized budesonide, a steroid-based inhalant normally used for asthma but which can be “very helpful for inflamed airways” in the case of measles, explains Dr. Ben Edwards, a family medicine physician specializing in integrative medicine who runs a private practice with around 2,000 patients. Unlike Daisy’s treating physicians, the father knew that nebulized budesonide effectively relieves ARDS with minimal risk; it rapidly improves respiratory mechanics and oxygenation.
The staff at the university hospital, however, flatly rejected this request.
Instead, the girl received high-dose IV (intravenous) steroids administered via an infusion into a blood vessel. This was intended to prevent excessive pneumonia. But IV steroids suppress the immune system’s ability to fight bacterial infections. Therefore, it was “a lousy idea” (Dr. Kory) not to give the child an anti-infective at the same time: a drug that can inhibit the spread of an infectious organism or kill it entirely.
On top of that, the child was sedated with drugs that suppressed his respiratory drive and deep breathing. This increased the likelihood of atelectasis, a partial collapse, or closure of his lungs. This reduced the lungs’ ability to deliver oxygen to the blood—making it even more difficult for Daisy to recover from her bacterial pneumonia and sepsis.
On the fourth day in the hospital, Daisy’s white blood cell count rose from 4.5 to 13, and on the sixth day, to an alarmingly high 27. (2) However, in classic measles pneumonia, the white blood cell count is normal or low, explains Dr. Kory. “It was crazy that they ignored such a high white blood cell count. It’s possible they dismissed it as a result of the steroids, but as an experienced intensive care physician, I would never associate WBCs above 20 with steroids.” (WBC: White Blood Cells.)
On the seventh day, the hospital doctors prescribed the girl an antibiotic—unfortunately, the wrong one. The type of bacteria that caused the child’s pneumonia was resistant to ceftazidime. She should have received imipenem. If Daisy’s sputum—mucus or phlegm from her airways—had been examined immediately, the specific bacteria, fungi, or other germs in her lungs could have been identified to determine what type of pneumonia she had. But the university hospital came up with this idea far too late, not until shortly before her death.
On the eighth day, Daisy was no longer breathing.
So, what did the girl die of? From the consequences of sepsis caused by chronic tonsillitis and glandular fever, exacerbated by medical malpractice. Dr. Kory cites “refractory hypoxemia” as the cause of death: Daisy’s arteries weren’t receiving enough oxygen, even though she was receiving it through a ventilator for the last four hours of her life.
The first alleged “measles victim” of the current wave of infections, 6-year-old Kaylee Fehr, actually died because of doctors’ blunders. (See CLEAR TEXT: “What did Kaylee really die of?”)
Medical malpractice is the third leading cause of death in the US. A vaccine against it is still not in sight.
Foolish recommendation from the health department
Dr. Edwards reports that he contacted the Texas Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), the top health authority in the state. He tried to persuade the DSHS to recommend budesonide as a possible treatment for acute respiratory distress following a measles infection. The response: The state’s only recommendation regarding measles is the MMR vaccine.
And what if an unvaccinated person has already been infected?
For such cases, Texas health officials are instructed to administer a dose of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine within 72 hours of exposure to the measles virus “to reduce the severity of the illness.”
This approach is extremely dangerous, warns Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, an otolaryngologist near Houston. Doesn’t the package insert for Merck’s MMRII, the most widely administered measles vaccine, already indicate that vaccination is contraindicated for pregnant women, immunocompromised individuals, or those with fever? “MMRII should never be given to anyone battling an infection—especially measles,” Bowden says. “The vaccine can cause complications similar to the disease itself, including rash, fever, encephalitis, and idiopathic thrombotic purpura” (ITP), a serious autoimmune disease in which antibodies are produced against the body’s own platelets—leading to a clotting disorder that can cause bruising and pinpoint bleeding of the skin and mucous membranes.
MMR vaccines are more dangerous than the infection they are intended to protect against
Wouldn’t it be the responsibility of a health authority to combine a vaccination recommendation with warnings? MMR vaccines pose serious health risks. Boys who receive their first MMR vaccination at 12 to 15 months of age are 67% more likely to develop autism than boys who are not vaccinated until after their third birthday. In addition, the MMR vaccine causes febrile seizures, anaphylaxis, meningitis, encephalitis, thrombocytopenia, arthralgia, and vasculitis.
Over the past decade, 41 deaths following MMR or MMRV vaccination have been reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), the US reporting system for adverse vaccine reactions established in 1990. Considering the unfortunate phenomenon of underreporting—only 1 to 5% of all cases are actually recorded—it is likely that several thousand MMR vaccine deaths have occurred in the United States alone. How many measles victims were there during the same period? Two in 2015 and one in 2019. But did these three, like Kaylee, perhaps die with, but not because of, measles?
Measles vaccine deaths vs. measles deaths in the USA
And “quality media” tends to quietly ignore this, too: After a case of measles has healed, mental and physical development spurts often occur in front of astonished parents. Medical case documentation and studies confirm that children are subsequently less susceptible to other infectious diseases as well. The risk of later allergies, multiple sclerosis, and even cancer decreases, as does the likelihood of eventually developing atopy, Crohn’s disease, or ulcerative colitis – not to mention autism.
Can journalistic curiosity ignore the question: How did the outbreak even occur? MMR vaccines are so-called live vaccines; they contain weakened amounts of the measles virus. According to a 2024 study, one-third of children who receive the vaccine subsequently excrete the live virus – which could contribute to outbreaks. In this way, the vaccination mafia creates supposed emergencies, the risky treatment of which ensures their profits.
What’s wrong with Kennedy?
The way Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has maneuvered since becoming U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services is puzzling. Until recently, America’s most prominent vaccine skeptic, hardly a day goes by without him emphatically urging measles vaccinations—in grotesque contradiction to all the advice and warnings he’s been issuing for decades. “The most effective method of preventing the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine,” he proclaims on X, formerly Twitter.
Is RFK now showing his true colors? Is he trying to calm tempers for tactical reasons so as not to jeopardize the reforms he has undertaken? Or is the Deep State blackmailing him?
After all, Kennedy recently dared to point out that unconventional doctors have cured “approximately 300 children suffering from measles”—using vitamins and cod liver oil to avoid the measles vaccination.
What is the point of this embarrassing back and forth, this hesitation, this seemingly cowardly surrender of one’s own viewpoints, even to the point of self-denial? Robert Malone advocates for leniency: “RFK can’t just blow himself up because then he won’t be able to do anything. It’s not optimal that he has to be strategic, but he has to. That’s the reality. He’s not all-powerful, and he’s dealing with political forces that are both powerful and entrenched. (…) Bobby is the only one with the guts to stand up to those forces at his expense… and right now, he’s exposed and has virtually no cover. So maybe we’ll let him carry the ball down the field before asking him to blow himself up, after which he won’t be able to carry a ball at all. (…) If we give RFK a year, he can correct his course, but right now, he’s conducting triage, scalpel in hand… anything less than surgical precision will kill the patient on the operating table. We need to stop tugging at him and whining about our stubbed toe.”
The Smarter Precaution
What, if not injections according to the official schedule, does my AUSWEGE foundation/WAYS OUT Charity recommend for measles prophylaxis? It recognizes the current state of research that no real fact check can ignore: Unvaccinated children are healthier. Infections of all kinds are generally milder in them and resolve more quickly. Complications are much less common, and long-term damage almost never occurs. Therefore, anyone who wants to best prepare their child for measles does everything they can to strengthen their immune system: through good nutrition, plenty of exercise, sufficient sleep, real rather than digital social contacts, and, last but not least, a safe home.
And what if they do become infected? Informed parents don’t see this as a terrible misfortune—they understand that infectious diseases can make sense in children by training and strengthening the immune system. (7) So, panic is misplaced. At the very first suspicious symptoms, the child is immediately isolated in a quiet, protected, and darkened environment, given plenty of fluids, supplemented with immune-boosting vitamins and minerals from orthomolecular medicine, and a high fever is reduced with leg compresses instead of paracetamol. Anthroposophical doctors report that measles treated in this way almost always heal without complications – and usually provides lifelong immunity, whereas vaccination only perhaps does.
No “quality media” questions hired vaccination experts.
Whenever vaccination campaigns are drummed up, Paul Offit, quoted at the beginning, appears with strange regularity on all channels. The news channels n-tv and, Deutschlandfunk and Der Spiegel praise him as a “renowned pediatrician and infectious disease specialist.” Credit where credit is due? After all, Offit is the director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and a professor of vaccinology and pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. He has won multiple awards and has authored numerous books on medical and scientific topics, including “Autism’s False Prophets – Bad Science, Risky Medicine, and the Search for a Cure” (2007), “Vaccines and Your Child: Separating Fact from Fiction” (2011), and “Bad Advice” (2018). So, a luminary—and “literally a lifesaver,” as the skeptics’ association CSICOP raves? (3)
What mainstream media consistently sweep under the rug are massive, long-exposed conflicts of interest of this supposed authority on vaccine safety. As a highly paid “consultant,” Offit has worked for pharmaceutical giant Merck—one of the world’s largest manufacturers of measles vaccines—for almost half an eternity. Merck’s best-known product is M-M-R® II, a combination vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR). It also offers ProQuad®, which also covers chickenpox (varicella). Offit’s research chair at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) provides Merck with $1.5 million in funding. To develop a rotavirus vaccine called RotaTeq, Offit received a $350,000 grant from Merck. CHOP eventually sold this vaccine to the generous sponsor for $182 million. In 2006, Merck secured approval for RotaTeq. Offit and his co-inventors retained the patent rights. This entitled them to ongoing royalties in the millions—truly “like winning the lottery,” as Offit admitted in a 2008 Newsweek article. The information portal Age of Autism estimates his share at at least $29 million. (4)
Given such significant financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry, every serious journalist should be asking the following question: Are Offit’s unqualified praises of vaccines influenced by no factors other than impeccable scientific research? Can I responsibly present such a two-legged pharmaceutical mouthpiece as an independent expert to my readers? “They should put him in jail and throw away the key,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reportedly said of Offit back in 2013. (5) Is Offit the only one who belongs there? (6) Follow the science? Follow the money.

(2) When the number of white blood cells (leukocytes) in a blood count is given as “4,” this usually means 4 × 10⁹ leukocytes per liter of blood (= 20,000 leukocytes/µl, since 1 µl = 1 microliter = 10⁻⁶ liters). In adults, the normal value for leukocytes is typically 4 to 10 × 10⁹/L (= 4,000–10,000/µl); for an 8-year-old child, it is 4.5 to 13 × 10⁹/L (= 4,500–13,000 leukocytes/µl). A value above 13 × 10⁹/L indicates leukocytosis (e.g., infection, inflammation, etc.).
