Parents of Texas girl, 6, who died of measles stand by decision to not vaccinate her

The parents of six-year-old Kaylee, who died from measles in Texas, are defending their decision not to vaccinate her. Part of a Mennonite community, they spoke in a March 17 interview with Children’s Health Defense, an anti-vaccine group, stating, “The measles wasn’t that bad,” and attributing their daughter’s death to fate: “She was too good for this earth.”

Kaylee developed severe complications, including pneumonia, and died after being intubated in a Lubbock hospital. Despite her death, her parents said they would “absolutely not take the MMR vaccine” and credited alternative treatments like castor oil and inhaled steroids for their other children’s recovery.

Medical experts strongly refuted their claims. Dr. Jay K. Varma stated, “Measles are not good for people in any way. They put children in grave danger.” He also warned of long-term risks such as neurological complications and superinfections.

“This is all preventable,” Dr. Varma emphasized. “The vaccine is safe and highly effective… We’ve lost a child already in this outbreak. Measles is not supposed to be causing deaths in the U.S. in 2025.”
