During nurse Aguirre’s vaccination drive, one man simply said people here “prefer to cure themselves in their own way.” A mother described getting sick with measles as a “privilege” and spoke of putting her unvaccinated 5- and 7-year-olds in a party so everyone could get sick and recover — a risky tactic doctors have long denounced.Mexico’s lone death from measles was a 31-year-old Mennonite man in the settlement who had diabetes and high blood pressure, underlying conditions that often complicate sicknesses.People wait to get vaccinated for measles at a health center in Cuauhtemoc, Chihuahua state, Mexico, Wednesday, April 30, 2025.
