Article title is incorrect:
Parents of daughter who they murdered through negligence meet with some dumb cunt to blame everyone but themselves. And they'll do it again.
There, fixed.

Concise & to the point I would love you to write headlines for news articles!
'She was my little girl,' he says softly. 'And they let her down.'
Killing your kid by negligence and then playing the victim. Disgusting.
On the one hand I feel like no parent should have to lose there child. That'd a terrible loss that hits really really deep.
On the other hand WTF. Your kid dies because you didn't vaccinate them and you meet with RFK Jr.? Your kid died because you were mislead. Honestly with all the crazy misinformation I can't necessarily blame them but you would think the loss of your own child would be a pretty big wake up call.
'She did not die of the measles,' he said of his daughter, Daisy. 'If there's one thing you should know, it's that. She was failed.'
After his visit, RFK Jr wrote on X: 'The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine.'
its the same thing like the wife of the firefighter wanted attention from trump only when her husband was shot dead, and ignored biden condolences.
Well they certainly can't blame themselves now, imagine how much pain it would cause them to realize the truth.

Well, if their stupid behavior kills them, it's a problem that fixes itself.

"Mennonites" while the husband is dressed like a completely modern dude probably works a normal job and does whatever the fuck he wants while his slave wife stays home and raises the kids

Imagine you kill a kid and you actually get the parents to show up for a photo-op so you can show the world they don't blame you and they just go along with all the lies you have been telling and everything goes fine really.
Mennonites skewed anti vax before it was trendy, like a long time ago. Old religious vaccine exemptions were basically for them, IIRC.
Like, I remember hearing about these folks when I was in school in Texas.
What I’m getting at is that they're not quite the same as MAGA-zone vaccine skepticism. There’s some overlap, but they're more old school and broad than that, with a more general technology-hesitant slant, while MAGA skepticism seems more driven by social media and influencers.
MAGA skepticism is more about attention grabbing publicity and gathering loyal voters.
Yeah, it skips the religious purism (and the sometimes very real attempt at pondering deep morality), and goes straight to modern attention hacking mixed with timeless demagoguery and conspiratorial urges.
That’s what I’m getting at. I empathize more with old school religious communities acting this way… to some extent. Some transcripts in the article are not very flattering.
Like, I remember hearing about these folks when I was in school in Texas.
You realize that none of have any context for that, right? You could have been in school in Texas 3 years ago. Or it could have been in 1965. We don't have any clue.
That being said, I fully agree with your overall post. I'm just nitpicking.
Fair point. I’m a millennial, how about that :P
So did you graduate from college last year? PhD, or reskilling? Following a passion?
(Still not enough info to know when it was! Haha)
The youngest Millennials graduated school in about 2014 or 2015 at the latest. There's no way, in context, they're talking about a PhD, and very, very little chance they're even talking about undergrad university.

By and large, Mennonites do skew pretty crazy and conservative in a lot of ways, but I think it's worth pointing out that there can be a tremendous amount of variation from one church/community to another, there's not much in the way of a larger overarching organization, a lot of policies, beliefs, interpretations and such are sorted out at the local level.
Some Mennonite churches are practically indistinguishable from the Amish, but there are some around that are very liberal. I live in an area with a pretty large Mennonite population, and the churches kind of run the entire gamut from horse and buggies to some of the most modern and liberal churches I've ever heard of.
They do, like I said, tend to skew more towards the conservative end of things, but there is a lot of variation there.
Yes, very true. I've kinda seen that in other states.
