The previous two deaths were both in infants too young to be vaccinated.

Can we not celebrate unknown people dying of preventable illness? We have no idea how old the most recent person was or their vaccination situation (too young, immunocompromised, etc). If you want to celebrate awful people dying, go for it, but it is just as likely to by an infant than anyone else at this point.
