Why are we talking about the Lancaster County Coroner?
Because the Lancaster County Commissioner and County Coroner are working very hard to make their measles outbreak even worse than it already is.
Let’s Talk About the Lancaster County Coroner
Let’s start with the County Coroner…
The current Lancaster County, Pennsylvania coroner is Dr. Stephen G. Diamantoni, M.D., a Family Practice physician with additional training in Geriatrics and Sports Medicine.
He is not a forensic pathologist.
He was elected to his post as a Republican.
What else?
The Lancaster County Coroner determined that it was not a measles death without talking to the mother of the baby or medical staff that took care of the baby.
He also determined that it was not a measles death, even though older literature, when measles was more common, does link acute measles infections to spleen problems.
He also determined that it was not a measles death, without providing any other explanation for the baby’s death and lacerated spleen.
He determined that it was not a measles death, even though his investigation is not complete.
And the County Commissioner?
Also a Republican, instead of being focused on getting more people vaccinated and protected in Lancaster County, Josh Parsons is laser focused on getting everyone to think that this baby didn’t die because they had measles.
So it's sketchy people all the way down! How fun.
