Current Events > Anti-vax father defends choice after daughter dies, cites lack of trust

(+) Yeah! (+)

Isn't there a law for negligent parenting?

Being responsible for your kid dying is plenty of punishment.

What is the stuff they dont trust?

You say this like we don't charge parents for abuse and neglect related deaths in other areas.

Being responsible for your kid dying is plenty of punishment.

He should be charged with murder.

Indeed. This is insane

And so is he

Being responsible for your kid dying is plenty of punishment. But yeah one would think that somebody is looking out for the kids whose parents aren't doing the job... or is that another department that Elon and Felon decided did not meet DOGE standards.

Most likely. But Id like to see people who stay stuff like this properly grilled over it. Offer an explanation and cite specific examples of the things they dont trust.

And ask them if their kid dying is a better outcome than their kid not dying

As we've been shown these last few months, plenty of people are more than willing to do themselves and their loved ones great harm so long as it means they get to stick it to the libs.

Well, their loved ones.

They figure out how much they fucked up when it's them, since it's the only way for their idiot brains to comprehend that bad things are bad.

And only if it's instantly or imminently fatal, give 'em a month and they'll be right back at it.

Yep. Just like idiots who begging and pleading for the COVID vaccine in their hospital death bed

Realized it way too late for it to matter.

In this case no its not because they had the information needed to prevent a death and instead chose to not prevent a death, the death of a person they were responsible for keeping alive no less
didnt the father say he doesnt have regrets either? He clearly didnt care about his daughter and doesnt care that she died

He should be charged with murder.

Certainly worked just fine for longer than you've been alive, you absolute fucking waste of carbon.

And that is the problem. They've been quietly keeping the population safe for a long time, so people think nasty diseases not being spread around is the natural order of things and not a result of science.

If he has any other kids take them away from him.

That why anti vaxxers should be dragged to old US graveyards to clean all the headstones with toothbrushes, and then have to write out, at least in triplicate, the names and dates of all the dead children.

It is stupid that we let kids die to protect their parent's beliefs. Apparently that's more important than a kid's life

Imagine having your kid die from a preventable disease because you're a complete dipshit. These people are the absolute worst, and I feel awful she had to die just because her parents are negligent.

Unfortunately many of the children who died young in the 18th/19th century from these (now) preventable/treatable diseases never received gravestones or died too young to have names (infant mortality was so high you'd hold off giving a name). Sometimes families had so many kids die from disease they'd just bury them next to each other with simple grave markers.

Should be a felony TBH, this is neglect that resulted in death

"The vaccination has stuff we dont trust," Peter told The Atlantic. "We dont like the vaccinations, what they have these days. We heard too much, and we saw too much."

"It was God's will!"

They better hope their God isn't real because God knows the truth in their heart and it's always the same selfish fear of their child turning out 'not normal' because of the vaccine. It has nothing to do with trust in what's in the vaccine, it has everything to do with they don't want a child that might be 'difficult' or 'different'. It's inherently selfish.

Big strong manly man can't admit to being scared of needles. That's it.

A lack of trust isn't always a failure to reach someone. Some people simply refuse to be convinced by data.

A man who'd spent his career installing irrigation equipment said he was suspicious of vaccines in part because he believed that the government had lied about the origins of COVID.

Today, 31% of Republicans and Republican leaners think vaccines are more dangerous than the diseases they are designed to prevent, compared with 5% of Democrats and Democratic leaners. The current figure for Republicans is up from 12% in 2019 and 6% in 2001.

Being responsible for your kid dying is plenty of punishment.

Yet the same folks who claim "God's will" were all too happy to ignore "God's will" when Biden won the 2020 election. Gee, it's almost as if they just say things that line up with what they believe are "God's will" and things that they don't like aren't.

The parents of an unvaccinated Texas child who died from measles appeared in a video formulated by an anti-vaccine advocacy group where they railed against vaccines, even saying the disease "wasn't that bad.'

During the interview, the young couple doubled down on their decision not to vaccinate their child even after her death. Hailing from the Mennonite community, they argued that if measles patients had access to untested treatments, the MMR vaccines would be entirely unnecessary.

"We spent the morning at Dr. Ben Edwards' clinic, and the parents are all still sitting there saying they would rather have this than the MMR vaccination because they've seen so much injury, which we have as well," journalist Polly Tommey said while interviewing the couple. "Do you still feel the same way about the MMR vaccine versus measles and the proper treatment with Dr. Ben Edwards?"

"Absolutely [do] not take the MMR [vaccine]," said the mother. "The measles wasn't that bad. [The other children] got over it pretty quickly. And Dr. Edwards was there for us."

The parents described the symptoms of the illness their child exhibited, beginning with a fever, respiratory symptoms and the notorious rash that often accompanies it. However, days after contracting the illness, the child's fever continued and respiratory symptoms worsened as she began struggling to breathe.

The girl's parents took her to a hospital emergency room where she was admitted and diagnosed with pneumonia. After being placed on a ventilator in the Intensive Care Unit, the child passed away.
