Dr. Offit leaves out very important details. We know the baby had evidence of trauma to his torso. Also, the forensic pathologist determined that the cause of death was a traumatic laceration of the spleen and that measles was not a contributing factor. The reported forensic findings point to traumatic injury as the cause of death, not measles.

The governor referring to the two dead children as "unvaccinated" was deceptive. MMR generally isn't given until age 12 months or later. But the media ran with this & the news stories described these as "measles deaths" in the "unvaccinated." It's a glaring example of misleading public health messaging.

Now that the second Pennsylvania death has been revealed, it is clear that Gov. Shapiro's press conference (& the media coverage) was misleading. 1. Gov. Shapiro used the term "unvaccinated" to describe the two. But neither child was eligible for the MMR vaccine. The boy died right after birth, and the girl at 6 weeks. 2. Gov. Shapiro stated that the deaths were preventable. This does not appear to be the case. All the facts are not known, but the best current evidence suggests the boy likely died from trauma from delivery or resuscitation, not measles. The girl had Amish Lethal Microcephaly, a condition that virtually always results in death in the first months of life. Calling her death “preventable” was misleading in that it strongly implied she would otherwise have survived infancy (and, again, she wouldn't have been vaccinated at that age.) When Gov. Shapiro mentioned two "unvaccinated" individuals whose deaths were "completely preventable," how many listeners thought one would be a newborn with a traumatic rupture of the spleen & the other a six-week-old with a severe genetic condition that's lethal in the first few months of life? The natural impression was that Gov. Shapiro was referring to two vaccine-eligible people who died from measles because they declined vaccination. Gov. Shapiro (and the media) should apologize & publicly correct the record. The public has lost trust in health officials & the press because of misleading announcements and news coverage. This incident has only heightened that loss of trust.

A simple question led to awkward silence: Shouldn't we warn pregnant women & the public about SSRIs in pregnancy given the clear signals of harm?

If serotonin plays a crucial role in fetal development (which it does) & if SSRIs disrupt the serotonin system (which they do) then the SSRIs must alter fetal development - and the public should be warned. This point was not disputed at yesterday's panel.
