[Note: TIMELINE OF ALL 10 deaths and disappearances at bottom which I highly recommend you read. Article also linked out 48 hours ago that states loved ones didn’t know of any health challenges that were life threatening.]
I read about Dr. Baron Holt DC not long after he died less than a month ago near me here on the East Coast of Florida. Father’s day June 21st. Dr. Holt was coincidentally found the very same day that Dr. Bruce Hedendal (also a DC found here on the E Coast of Florida) was found slumped over in his car. Like Holt, Dr. Hedendal was also extremely fit. Dr Hedendal been doing an athletic event earlier in the day before he died.

Now there is. From this glowing article [...]
His unexpected death last month while on a trip to Jacksonville, Fla. has been a blow to his family and the community he’d created through his work. Though he had been struggling with recent health issues, none were thought to be life threatening by loved ones. His family is awaiting the results from an autopsy report.
I had searched before for any information but saw no statement from the family. Now that I see this article states his family felt he had no health challenge that was life threatening and was a mere 33 years old.
The article goes on to say:
Holt’s practice, Revolution Chiropractic, had just celebrated its fifth anniversary this year. Highly fit at 33, he was deeply connected to his Christian faith, and his career as a Triangle practitioner was booming.

I do not understand the paranoia about measles or even chickenpox for that matter. I also have never heard any convincing argument that I as a vaccinated person who even had a vaccine fail to stop me from getting sick with measles anyways, be so paranoid about the idea that measles will get me. I got the vaccine, I got sick with measles, I got over it. The part that bothers me way more than someone being unvaccinated while I am is actually antibiotic resistant bacteria, because there isn’t much that could be done about the infection plus there is a likelihood as high as 50 percent that I will die from the superbug as opposed to 0.015 percent for measles. Then for the superbug, me ending up paralyzed, blind, deaf, or all of the above is greater than measles. But I guess over 20,000 fatal superbug victims is nothing of note.
It’s about age and your susceptibility to complications. There’s the chance from the measles for brain damage and blindness and potentially fatal pneumonia. Catch it young, avoid complications, yeah it’s no big deal. Catch it late, don’t avoid complications, things can get real ugly. Same with chicken pox, plus the shingles problem.
And the antibiotic resistant bacteria are not so discriminating.
They also don’t have easy to say names, or historical outbreaks. Or even non-historical outbreaks. There’s chunks of the world right now where catching the measles means about a 30% chance of dieing. Measles is still probably killing more people globally than antibiotic resistant bacteria, just not in America.
Sources? Because the CDC shows way higher numbers 23,000 in the U.S. From antibiotic resistant superbugs and 0 from measles. I want sources and confirmation because if this measles is the touch of death for 50 million people, you surely read it from a source, right?
Same goes with bankers/financial folks. There has been close to 70 deaths from 2014 till this point 2015.
Kinda makes ya scratch yo head.
That’s the US, I said globally.

In 3rd world land measles fatality is around 28%. And with poor medicine they’re not really in a situation to be getting their bacteria antibiotic resistant (need regular access to antibiotics to misuse them and strengthen the bacteria).
Seriously ... this is one where "google is your friend" ... it's too big, and too weird a subject to do justice in a single reply.

More recent updates show that antibiotic abuse and resistance has multiplied in Africa. This isn’t the 1980s anymore. I would be surprised if the superbugs haven’t overtaken measles like they have in India and Pakistan. Antibiotics are cheap enough for a lot of people worldwide, and the mass growth of their use has made the third world a breeding ground nightmare. They are only going to go up, as the usual response is to try the treatment which fails and a number of patients die, even in the developed nations. Antibiotic resistant bacteria are not a joke. We are also not living in the 1850s Hawaii BTW.
Another update from a brief search: antibiotic resistant Typhoid is spreading in Africa. Vaccine 50 to 80 percent effective? I don’t care how many vaccines I pump myself with if I were to go and visit there, I am going to sanitize the water first, or make beer for them, one of the two.

I never said they were a joke. Don’t know why you’re trying to make this personal. The question was why the fuss on measles, the answer is because it IS still actually potentially deadly. Not so much here, but even here the complications can be pretty rough (blind). It IS still a big deal. And yes so are antibiotic resistant bacterias. It’s not an either or world, BOTH things can be a problem.
Fair enough.
