There's nothing in the article about what the child's temperature actually was when he was kidnapped by authorities. Nor is there any information about other symptoms the child may have been experiencing.
Without this information it is not appropriate for anyone to be making judgements in either direction.
This case does seem like it spiraled out of control. I usually can appreciate a good parents' rights outrage piece, but I don't fully back the parent in this case.
Sounds like a rigorous examination. /s Regardless of your strong feelings about vaccinations, I would sue that doctor into poverty.
In those days, most people didn't wear seat belts. Didn't even think of it. [0]
Does that meant it was mostly benign then to not wear a seat belt?
Does that mean it's needless now to worry about using seat belts?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measles#Complications points out that there is a fatality rate of about 0.3% in the US now. Riskier than driving, but still a 98% chance the entire family will live through it.
If I were a parent then, I likely would not let the kids know that there was a 2 in 100 chance that one of them would die, but treat it I would any other illness.
Note also that the shows says that reported symptoms include "slight fever", in that case 101.1 F, while https://www.cdc.gov/measles/about/signs-symptoms.html says the symptoms typically begin with high fever. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/measles/sympt... says "Over the next few days, the rash spreads down the arms and trunk, then over the thighs, lower legs and feet. At the same time, the fever rises sharply, often as high as 104 to 105.8 F (40 to 41 C)."
It's almost as if you can't trust a sitcom for medical advice.
Or advice on what to do with tiki gods.
([0] Marsha did insist that the driving test examiner put his seat belt on; something he originally did not do. But it's hard to find video clips of the show to figure out if they always put on their seat belts.)
