I wanted to share a long read I wrote for The Independent's US site. The parents of this little boy spoke to me from his hospital bedside in South Carolina a couple of weeks ago amid the measles outbreak. I'll be honest, I found it a really tough interview. I hope their story will educate and inform people.
