This mom wants you to know what measles did to her baby
Alba, who was 11 months old at the time, had a fever that soared over 107 degrees Fahrenheit. Her eyes were swollen shut for days, and doctors had to give her medicine to prevent her from going blind. She couldn't eat or drink and had so much trouble breathing, doctors had to put her on oxygen.
And the doctors, since they'd never seen measles before, misdiagnosed her repeatedly, sending her home, where she became sicker and sicker.

After Alba left the hospital, her mother described her illness in a Facebook post.
"Get your children vaccinated," she wrote.
The inevitable backlash from anti-vaxers followed.
"They said I was a bad mother -- that if I had just breastfed longer, she wouldn't have gotten measles. They said the photos of Alba were fake, that I'd made her up. They said I was an actress and getting paid," Moss said. "Some of the comments have been absolutely disgusting, and they've come from other parents, other mamas."

Why are anti-vaxers and anti science working so hard to bring back disease?
I don't get it.
