She died doing what they loved.
Ignoring modern medicine in exchange for right wing cred.
They should be charged with child abuse and neglect, and any other children removed from their care.
They won’t, unfortunately. They’ll continue to reproduce and do the same shit over again.
‘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.’
A direct quote from the father. He doesn’t realize he’s talking about himself.
Well that’s not surprising whatsoever
I suppose blame shifting feels better than examining how your own ill-informed negligence led directly to your child’s death.
The parents murdered their child.
Hamburger-faced RFK is conspiring to murder more.
I hope you can vaccinate your children and they are not immunocompromised and relying on herd immunity
Because the Republicans don’t want to live in a society where we take care of each other.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they started banning vaccinated children from school.
That’d be insane the classes would have like two kids in them
… so yeah completely plausible move by these idiots 😩
What’s sad is that these clowns are also the same type of people that’ll take erectile disfunction meds that can cause things like strokes and heart attacks, just so they can pork their idiot anti-vax wives, but when it comes to protecting their children from deadly viral inventions, somehow the risk is too high?
I wish someone could speak face-to-face with these assholes so they could be told directly and right through their crocodile tears- that their kid would still be alive if they actually truly cared enough about them to do the right thing to begin with.
I would LOVE to see them slowly come to realize the abject horror of what they have done as their denial is gradually peeled away, layer by ignorant layer, lie by shameful lie.
These people need to suffer. And it needs to be public, because through example, we learn.
I saw a vid of a doctor talking to anti-vaxers.
They don’t want to learn. They want to be in their own little reality where they are right and “stupid idiot DOCTORS” are wrong.
They will never learn. Psychologically, how could they ever admit that they set the stage for their own child’s death? There’s just no way. It’s much easier for them to ignore basic science for the rest of their own lives.
Natural selection
Meh, your daughter is dead but who cares? You got to meet JFK, man, who gives a shit about some bratty girl?
Jesus Christ, I’m amazed they managed to keep RFK from eating the fucking corpse.
He didn’t eat it but he did strap it to the roof of his car while he ran some errands.
Bruh the callback was fantastic. A+ comment with no notes
Holy fuck. This comment… Gold does not exist on this platform, but surely there is something worthy to offer.
First born child…?
No, a dead corpse of a first born child.
Cadaverific!
his face is melting, he needs a new face soon.
Clearly this is Joe Biden’s fault. /s
THANKS Obama…
Oh of course they’re some kind of Mennonite or Christian extremist. look at her head covering.
Religon is child abuse
They’re doing victory laps with a politician over a dead kid, it doesn’t get much more grotesque or morbid.
All of their children could die of measles and they’d still say: “God works in mysterious ways.”
This reflects my experience growing up with a religion really accurately. What really kills you in the end, is that you took it seriously, when you come out of it you realize no one else was.

lol no, I’ve been a victim of both and getting hit in the head with a belt buckle was a lot worse than having to sit through an hour of church a week
And both are abuse.
You people are insane
Religious abuse is abuse. This isn’t a fantasy, there’s clear outcomes.
When you and your ilk classify being raised in a religious household as child abuse, your every other argument loses power due to its absurdity
There is no reasonable discussion with such as you
I don’t think all religion is child abuse. Not everyone is your polar opposite extremist.
As insane as all the youth pastors that like little boys?
The incidence of abuse among pastors, while abhorrent, is lower than the general population.
Yes it is a horrible crime that pastors abuse their authority to harm children
Statistically, they are still safer with pastors than their own uncles and aunts.
But everyone on lemmy hates religion.
You know this was a big problem in my day, ‘Stranger danger’.
The VAST majority of abuse cases are by someone the child knows and is related to, but so much time and effort was put in to make the public freak out about a vast army of anonymous pedophiles all plotting to kidnap their children that so many domestic cases were swept under the rug for more salacious public targets (that mostly turned out to be innocent and had their lives ruined anyway by people like you)
But please keep up with the memes because you like to shit on religion so much
That’s a gross oversimplification. You do know most pastors that do that have to get close with the kids in the first place for it to happen… they don’t just see a kid on first day and go for it. They’re predators that try to build trust at first under the guise of religion being safe and trustworthy.
Good thing they just ship them off to another church once they’re found out? I’m sure plenty of cases get swept under the rug because psycho-Christian families believe it was “God’s plan” or some bs.
And I will happily shit on religion all day :) “god” and jesus can choke on my nuts
I enjoyed church as a kid because it was the one place they COULDN’T just beat the shit out of me for no reason. But still, the indoctrination, lies, manipulation, twisted fucked up world view, and sexual repression are all things ALSO fucking up my adult life. The abuse abuse was a much harder thing to live through and accepting that recovery is a lifetime process not a goal with a possible ending is fucking horrifying, but you know. They both did register as shit I wish I never went through.
Its not religions fault you had shitty parents
It’s a good thing your here to be a piece of shit about it. What would people think if you weren’t jumping into people talking about child abuse shitting on their life experience? They might think a religious person could be compassionate and respectful. Good you’re here to put a stop to that bullshit.
“How could the liberals have done this to me?”
There should be someone assigned to follow these stupid sacks of shit around through every waking moment. Any time they try to express an opinion, their minder can slap them into oblivion and remind anyone nearby that these assholes killed their own kid. No tip-toeing around and giving them space to craft their own narrative about what happened, just a perpetual rain of palms on faces until the message sinks in.
Some day you fine people will realize that none of them care about the noises that come out of their mouths as long as they are the right shape
They aren’t expressing an opinion, they’re expressing whatever they feel will piss off as many people as possible
They don’t craft a narrative, they aggregate ridiculous arguments until you are so exausted of trying to keep up refuting them that you go away
That is their main goal, plan, and purpose
Variation of the Gish Gallop.
Their favorite tactic, labeled as ‘The Firehose of Lies’ as the modern russian implementation
It’s getting harder to believe you’re wrong, day by day.
Make this your platform and you’ve got my vote
So now that the US is a dictatorship I’d like to become the dear leader. Step one: everybody vaccinates with only those exempt who have real issues with vaccines like those that take immunosuppressants.
Anyone who tries to skip will be permanently deported to a deserted island where they can just die or something, I really don’t care. If it’s a minor and the parent try to stop the kid, the parents will lose custody immediately and be deported to that island
Human rights? Don’t care, don’t apply, we’ll simply say these aren’t human beings. Either way, human rights are earned by being a decent human being like vaccinating yourself
I’m just done with these fuckers
Republicans are SO Pro Life and Pro Family that not EVEN KILLING THEIR OWN CHILD will Change Their Minds about ANYTHING!
Luckily, they can always have another child and kill it too. It’s the beauty of nature.
That poor fucking girl. To have a precious life cut short because your parents have been intentionally brainwashed. Just tragic.
When cognitive dissonance turns deadly.
There’s no cognitive dissonance here, and far too many people misuse the term. Cognitive dissonance is a feeling of discomfort a person feels from holding beliefs that contradict each other or from behaving contrary to their beliefs.
This is just plain old stupidity. These assholes believed vaccines are a hoax, their daughter died as a result, and they still believe vaccines are a hoax. They behaved exactly as one would expect antivaxxers to behave.
Willful ignorance?
