Yeah I don't understand why they would go to the hospital and then not accept the treatment. For a diagnosis? How can they trust the diagnosis if they don't trust the treatment?
In the case of COVID at least, they went because they were literally drowning in their own mucus and didn’t have a choice. They only started refusing things when they woke up enough to be delusional again.
Some went, only for that reasons.
Others got real scared and "repented" and cried and said it was awful and the worst thing they'd ever encountered and they hoped no one else would ever get it and they were fucking dying and sadness.
Then some died.
Some got better. Of the ones that got better, some genuinely learned something. Others, like Trump, continued to spew hateful, stupid shit despite realizing it sucked. Others learned absolutely nothing. I'm not sure which is worse.
They (either the parent or the child) were at the hospital for another reason, and caught it there.
Not according to the article: "The outbreak began after a child who’d recently spent time in another country was admitted to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) with an infection, which was subsequently identified as measles. "
Yes according to the article:
Emphasis mine.
Yeah you're right. I was confused and thought that it was the same parent who brought the first child in that refused the medication for themselves.
