The New York Times today published an essay by Rebecca Archer, the woman pictured at the head of the linked CBC story, entitled "Measles Took My Daughter: This Is What I Want Everyone To Know".
Unfortunately, I m unable to link to the NYT article, but do hunt down and read it if you can, because it is a powerfully written piece both informative about public health and heartbreaking in its account of a daughter lost.
Even if you cant' get hold of the NYT essay, read about Rebecca and Renae.
What RFK and the antivaxxers are doing is unforgivable.
