How's all that winning working out for Texas?
How do you die from measles? I mean what actually causes death? Is it pneumonia?
Fever.
Not so loud about their beliefs when they backfire, eh?
I hope this kid's parents suffer terribly. This child depended on them to keep it alive, literally the most fundamental part of being a parent, and they failed miserably. It's the worst form of betrayal: the kind that costs lives. I wonder what Jesus would have to say about that?
I don't wish suffering on them. Their child is dead. They're suffering enough. They're likely to just hold stronger to whatever beliefs they have and blame whatever bs reason they can think of.
I hope they learn. They learn that there are truths and things in this world that are real, and everything isn't some messed up conspiracy theory. That you can challenge others beliefs as long as you also challenge your own.
The fact that their choice to not vaccinate contributed directly to their child's death is a hard pill to swallow, but let's hope they swallow it all the same.
Not a chance.
They'll find a convenient scapegoat (probably trans people) and dig in deeper.
You legitimately have too much patience.
In so far that anyone can deserve to suffer, these pieces of shit do.
Congratulations Texans! You did it!
Sorry for the kid. Maybe the parents will also learn the legal side of "criminal neglect". They simply murdered their own child.
They didn't murder they own kid, it was God simply telling them it was their kid's time to go. I mean that with 100% sarcasm, but there are people out there who believe just that.
but there are people out there who believe just that.
That is the sad part.
Could they be arrested for this though? Getting vaccinated isn't mandatory. They made the very poor decision to not vaccinate their child, but is it neglect?
The fact that it is not mandatory should not even register with anyone with half a brain cell.
The US is just so stupidly backwards and going even further in that direction that it's even an option to not vaccinate your kids.
All that's going to happen is that this country will push out all the intelligent people who will want to leave for somewhere with some intelligence and the oligarchs will be left to rule over a blatantly stupid populace who force themselves into slavery
RFK Jr wants to cut back on medical research and other countries have already said "come over here to continue your work" so yeah, we'll definitely see a lot of people leaving.
Vaccines are such a charged subject for political reasons (that felt so frustrating to type).
I try to find something analogous. If I had the option to remove a poisonous plant from my home, I didn't because of personal choice, and my child ate the plant and died, I would consider it neglect.
Legally however, not even judges will agree with each other on this.
The chances of America charging these parents is zero. And this poor kid is just a herald of of things to come - people dying of preventable, contagious diseases because morons and kooks think vaccines are some kind of left wing conspiracy.
These morons think God's will controls everything, apparently it didn't occur to them that God also intended for humans to create vaccines.
"Capitalism created vaccines." - The Average "Enlightened" Centrist
Only if the parents are brown.
If white, "it was gawds will".
Or "It was The Markets will" if you're a centrist or capitalist. Their belief system works pretty much exactly the same, just a different god. Centrist so-called atheist enablers are not excused from this equation.
Evolution in live
Does this qualify for a Darwin Award?
No, because the child most likely didn't make the decision to stay unvaccinated for themselves.
This is just flat-out murder.
The idiots parents definitely at fault. Poor child.
If the child could medically get vaccinated, the parents murdered their own kid. You don't get to be a parent and get something like vaccines wrong.
