A new video released by Children’s Health Defense (CHD) is challenging the mainstream narrative surrounding the recent death of a 6-year-old child in Texas, who was widely reported to have died from measles last month.
According to the video and accompanying analysis by tech entrepreneur and health advocate Steve Kirsch, the real cause of death was medical malpractice, not the measles ‘virus’ itself.
The child, whose family gave CHD access to medical records, had reportedly been recovering from measles, was not vaccinated for the disease, and was no longer at risk from the virus when complications developed. The child then contracted pneumonia, but what followed raises serious questions about the medical care provided.
According to the video:
- The hospital administered the wrong combination of antibiotics, a deviation from standard medical protocol.
- As the child’s condition deteriorated, doctors failed to adjust treatment in time.
- When lab tests finally identified the specific infection, the correct medication was prescribed—but delayed by 10 hours, a delay that proved fatal.
Kirsch and others argue that the media’s portrayal of the case has been misleading.
Headlines around the world cited the incident as a tragic reminder of the dangers of not vaccinating, with many taking aim at vaccine-hesitant communities and public figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for encouraging vaccine skepticism.
However, members of the child’s community say they choose not to vaccinate because of the high number of adverse events they’ve experienced from previous vaccines. They accuse mainstream outlets of gaslighting and ignoring lived experience in favour of Big Pharma narratives.
Kirsch did not hold back in his criticism of the legacy media coverage:
“The mainstream media lied to you creating a panic and questioning RFK’s measured response. Do you think any of them will apologize for getting it wrong? In your dreams, maybe. I’d be absolutely amazed if there were any apologies for getting it wrong and falsely alarming people. I’d be further amazed if any of them correct the story.”
Kirsch also pointed to peer-reviewed studies comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children, claiming unvaccinated children consistently fare better on key health metrics.
“Mainstream media should be telling parents to follow the science and do NOT vaccinate your kids,” he stated.
As the debate over vaccine safety and informed consent continues, this latest case raises fresh concerns—not only about the risks of disease, but also about the risks of misdiagnosis, mistreatment, and misinformation from legacy media outlets and public health bureaucrats in the wake of public health emergencies.

Measles is a common childhood affliction and treating it as a convid scapegoat is criminal.
