Love it or hate it: having a litter of children works. You can neglect them and a few might make it to adulthood.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

4/5 kids survived. Those are great numbers if you’re living in the 19th century.
Help! I'm trapped in a shit hole country and surrounded by moronic assholes.
So she's a child murdering monster. Got it.
"Pro-life" I'm sure.
This is why you don't vote idiots into the white house. Imagine this quality idiot dictating policy.
You'd better avoid FDA news for a while😬
CHD and Kennedy have relentlessly spread dangerous misinformation about the safe, lifesaving MMR vaccine, including that it causes autism (it does not) and even deaths (it does not).
So much better that she just died rather than got autism and then died.
As if autism is the worst thing you can have, come on... That's actually offensive af of them to even say. I have autism and I'd rather have it than be dead, any day.
There are definitely days I'd rather be dead, but that's not the autism's fault, it's morons that believe in this shit.
She's figuring out why families 200 years ago had a dozen kids.
Not really. She didn't learn shit.
She gets to hold her dead child who could have had a full life thanks to modern medicine and pretend like she's the victim.
Crazy that anti-vax has even a fig leaf of personal liberty as a defense. Yes, you do have the right to make your own choices and you can be a negligent parent in 1000 different ways.
But this isn't even close to a personal freedom issue. You being a dumb piece of shit is a direct threat to the rest of society. YOU don't get to make the personal choice to kill MY child.
It should be simple for these serious diseases: unless you have a certified medical issue preventing it, you have to get the shot. Fuck any objection (personal, religious, whatever...). If there's some negative side effect or a bad vaccine batch, you get generously compensated for our collective societal fault in harming you.
Strap them down and jab them, let them bitch and moan about everyone's children being alive and healthy later.
Either that or, more gently, ban them from public spaces if they haven't had the vaccine -- schools, public administrations, grocery stores, malls, churches...
This is the approach I would suggest. I do not agree with forcing people to take vaccines, but if they want to be part of society then this is a reasonable requirement. It's simply an extension of the duty of care principle we already have for healthcare environments where vaccination and other measures are required for people to work in.
What a shitty mother. I feel sorry for her other children.
There is a good chance she made 4 more future antivaxers
People like this should be treated the same as parents who drive their kids without car seats and seat belts.
How this isn't abuse is beyond me. They'll screen about personal freedoms, but what about that poor child's personal freedom.
I hate that we let parents treat kids like property.
Poor child.
Wild that you're just allowed to be a child murderer if you claim the magic voices in your head say it's okay. You'd think that the surviving kids would be saved from this kind of fucked up ideology, but in the U.S. we have concluded that it's more important for people to be delusional.
I work with a guy who is an extreme germ, a phobia. He always wears latex gloves even when he eats his food but yet he refused to get the Covid vaccine him and his wife are not even 30 yet and they have nine kids. I believe four of them have some sort immune deficiency problem, as well as one or two with a learning disability yet it’s all part of God‘s plan FYI he is also a big-time Mormon.
Fuck it, i need to know. What does being a homophobe have to do with eating with latex gloves or no covid shots?
Sorry mistyped, i meant germaphobia.
[he's] an extreme germ, a phobia.
I love the new version where now he's straight up just a singular bacterium with strong opinions, and that's freaking you out. Pls don't change it again
Oops lol!
Fear that their food or covid shots might've been handled by someone attracted to their same gender? Hoping it's just an unfortunate typo and they meant germaphobe.
That's a 20% mortality rate. If vaccines had anywhere near that level of mortality risk, all the streets of every city in the world would be absolutely fucking littered with bodies. You have to be one dumb motherfucker to think this is some kind of vindication for your antivax position.
Well, the existence of these people are why the trolley problem is a problem at all. They think it's more ok for 5 people to die by them not doing anything than 1 people dying instead because of their involvement.
I remember how sad I was to see my infant cousin die from sids. My poor aunt never recovered from the anti depression drugs. Meanwhile this pos is going w/e. Treating human like a turd.I feel sorry for the other kids. They watched their sibling die and know for sure mom will do the same for them.
In other words, irresponsible parents who should not raise kids in the first place.
Not just irresponsible, delusional. At what point does delusional thinking causing a child’s death turn into neglect or child abuse?
Mine got the shots. They are ALL fine. And alive I might add. Fucking ghoulish cunts, protect your kids dammit.
have they detected 5g signals from them, these antivaxxers always claim something like that.
I mean who could complain about better reception. 🙄
These fucking people are ghouls.
Edit: Christ, those times when I fail as a parent, all I need to do is read about this kinda bullshit. Holy hell. I cannot contemplate this attitude to the preventable death of one of my kids.
