When I was in the bidness, AA had the reputation for the worst flight attendante. USAir had the honor of the worst customer service and baggage handling. They merged --- any surprises ??
As a counterpoint, measles is rare enough that one might presume that some folk have no idea what it actually looks like, other than "a rash on the face and skin". So, I would expect any airline to inquire about a possibly contagious disease boarding a plane that might also have immune-compromised passengers.
That said, once they were informed of the actual cause of the rash, they should have backed down.
The condition is “ichthyosis”, which causes fishlike scaling. It in no way resembles measles, as is seen by the picture of the mother and child. With ubiquitous cellphones, it’s pretty easy to check.
