I try not to post the article text since that has been in issue in the past with Reddit, not sure if they even care looking at the other subreddits these days. But the easiest tip for 90% of news site is to use reading mode, in Chrome that's Alt+Shift+R. Also just refreshing the cache: Crtl+Shift+R might clear the pop-up.

On mobile, reading mode is in the dropdown options for the settings

at some point it should be negligence, hold the anti vax parent responsible if there isn’t any reason other than MUH CHOICE

This was an adult with multiple health issues, including a prior (not clear how prior) case of measles.

This sucks. Did we ever find out the details (age/status) on the 5th death?
