They killed their child for a political statement. Poor kid didn’t deserve that. Fucking ghouls, I hope some day the reality of them choosing to murder their child sinks in. But it won’t. They are too stupid to have any self reflection.
Poor kid.
the power of actual indoctrination (read: cult mind control) at work
If they have any other children, these should be immediately taken away.
Death doesn’t even deter them. Definitely not a cult.
It was only a girl that died. They might have cared if it was a BOY.
Everyone, point and laugh. Unfortunately, that’s the most anyone can do.
They won’t get indicted for child endangerment and criminal negligence because Paxton is in charge of that for TX, and Bondi is in charge of that now Federally, and they’re drinking the asbestos-flavored kool-aid.
It would be a crime to shoot anti-vaxxers dead, like when they’re sleeping or stopped at a traffic light, but it would probably be a net positive on lives saved.
The deceased girl’s father insisted that measles helps build up a person’s immune system. “Also the measles are good for the body for the people,” the father said, explaining “You get an infection out.”
Oh, I get it. I hate my little girl too.

So here’s the thing…and I know that everyone here knows this, but it doesn’t.
Measles causes immune amnesia.
It’s pretty sneaky - integrating into respiratory tract macrophages, and avoiding destructive phagocytosis by binding directly to certain membrane receptors, and then being transported to lymph nodes where B and T cells get infected by the measles virus too. These memory B and T cells contain the memory of past infections, and when they’re destroyed (because they’re infected), you no longer have the ability to quickly ramp up a response to past infections and you get to start all over from the start.
So even if their other kids survived, their chances of dying from another infection goes up. It takes somewhere between 2.5 and 5 years for that risk to come back to baseline.
The infection itself might not have been “that bad” (despite killing one of their children) but the mortality risk isn’t over by a long shot.
When you value your insane religion more than your literal child. People like this make me wish Hell was real, because they really deserve a one-way trip there.
And the absolute insane part about it is: most actual religions are not opposed to vaccination!
The pope doesn’t mind vaccination, and indeed encourages it:
Mormons encourage vaccination. Hindus and Buddhists have no issues with it. Most of Islam and Judaism are OK with it as well…
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccination_and_religion
So if most of your mainstream religions agree that vaccination is a good thing - one of the few things they agree on, I’d imagine -it doesn’t make sense to oppose it on religious grounds.
Some people just want to difficult. And kids are dying because of it.
