Mom of child dead from measles: “Don’t do the shots,” my other 4 kids were fine
The interview downplayed the disease, maligned vaccines…
She literally lost a child and is still antivax. These people are beyond saving. The goal now should be to make sure they don't take the rest of us down with them
Changing your mind on the vaccines means accepting that you basically murdered your child. I'd be much more surprised if someone in that position could have their mind changed...
I was raised antivax, got the measles at age 17, and was still antivax for roughly 10 more years. It was my wife that convinced me to actually think about it, because she was adamant about vaccinating any children we had. I have her to thank for making me less ignorant. My sisters, on the other hand, are all still antivax despite my attempts to convince them otherwise.
But I bet she's pro life. We need to make sure every embryo becomes a fully developed human child since we need our kids to be expendable.
These people need arrested or just require the children to get the vaccine. They should be facing criminal charges for child endangerment and terrorism since it affects society at large
Remember the guy whose wife got deported and he said he'd still support trump?
This is what these people will do to those they love and care about.
What do you think they're willing to do to you?
4 out of 5 ain't bad!
-fuckwit mom
Some parents just don't mind losing one.
They say you're not supposed to pick a favourite. But I've never heard anything about a least favourite...
Just because the headline sounds like she simply doesn't want to have them vaccinated, it is actually worse than that.
"They had a really good, quick recovery," the mother said of her other four children, attributing their recovery to the unproven treatments.
She had some snake oil doctor do some alterative nonsense treatments. Then those 4 kids survived, so ooobviously these treatments must work.
I'm curious, does insurance cover your child's treatment if you refuse to vaccinate? Seems like they wouldn't, but I'm not familiar with the law.
Lol. Of course this trashcan had 5 children.
Idiocracy playing out in realtime.
Kids are made with electrolytes.
“Don’t do the shots”
Nah you just do the funerals instead.
Funerals are more expensive than vaccines.
Funeral homes gotta eat too you know
Only one person cries with a shot. In a funeral everyone cries. Better! More cry per $$ spent!
Also don’t forget the baby funeral industry! More money being spent there stimulates the economy!
"we have reserves" family edition
An heir and some spares.
What you're dealing with here is a grieving mother desperately trying to justify her actions so as to not add an unbearable guilt on top of unbearable sorrow.
There is no logic to be had here. It's all raw emotion.
I want to force that guilt back on her, and press down on it with that hydraulic press that got popular on YouTube. Maximize her guilt til she has an aneurysm.
Bet you they'll have another 3 kids after and the favorite TV show of all 7 if them will be Ow My Balls
heh he got hit in the balls
While this is a tragic death, I wonder if the parents would have reacted differently if a son had died?
Hadn't even considered this... Probably. If this is the same family I'm thinking of, they're Mennonites, and it wouldn't surprise me if a culture/religion that conservative puts far more value in male offspring than female.
Of course not
1 in 5 is lucky when you consider that the mortality rate is 1 in 3. statistically it was more likely to be 2 in 5. But I suppose that the cognitive dissonance is so strong that it could be 6 out of 5 and they still would refuse the right thing to do.
There's still time
I had to double check this wasn't in the onion, but I think they would have more respect for dead kids than Mom here has.
IMO this is the ultimate goal of the quiverfull (et al) movement... the trivialization of life because it's mass produced.
Which directly contradicts the claims of "pro-life" but they don't let that stop them.
"Every embryo has a right to be born! But once they're born, god has a plan for them. And if that plan is to suffer and die before hitting the age of maturity? Well, who are we to question god's plan? He is all knowing, all powerful, and all loving after all!
What omnipotent diety wouldn't create sentient life for the express purpose of watching it suffer and die? Especially when they get to watch those around suffer too!"
Pro life is just a different phrasing (are we still doing phrasing?) for pro maximum birth rate.
This isn't weird. This is fucking sad. It could have 5 or of 5 instead of just one.
Aaaa you thought I was going the other way. Lol
Be better than that
"that one was a little shit anyway"
Vaccines or suffering and funerals.... Hard choice, but don't do the vaccines!
The siblings:
Morbillivirus hominis:

Say hello to evolution,
evolution!
Those kids do not deserve what is likely going to happen to them. After watching the rest die, when it's too late, while struggling not to succumb herself, will she change her tune?
A few years ago, the disinformation wasn't strong enough to have parents double down on their belief that not vaccinating would be good, after their child died. Back then, they'd at least regret their decision.
Something something natural selection….
