A 4-year-old boy who was used as the face of Argentina’s many child vaccination campaigns has died. The boy promoted shots for measles, mumps, polio and more.
He had been sick for a week before his death with a fever and various problems including gastroenterocolitis and laryngitis. His autopsy concluded he died of pneumonia.
According to the Western Journal, “The mother, Augustina, explained that at first she was told her son’s condition was a viral issue. After the initial visit, in which she went because her son’s fever would not go down with basic ibuprofen, they were given the viral diagnosis and returned home.”
The Journal added, “Blanco’s tragic death does follow an alarming trend of perfectly healthy young people around the world passing away unexpectedly.”
