What the heck kind of photo op is that? The guy in charge of keeping people from dying takes a picture with a family whose daughter died from a preventable illness?
“Hey, good job on the dead kid! Lets take a picture!”
Just following the boss’s example…
Donald Trump is facing backlash after he was seen giving a thumbs-up and smiling while posing for photos at Arlington National Cemetery. The ‘controversial’ gestures were made at the graves of soldiers who were killed during the 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
This is even a few years after calling all soldiers that die in war “suckers” and “losers”
and ending “whats in it for them”, plus his other qoute" I dont like soldiers that are captured or dead"
👍
“Cheese!”
Like, seriously. They’re smiling like their cute little 8-yo isn’t dead a few days ago. What fucking sick ghouls.
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 😩
The family are Mennonite, part of a small Christian community that often emphasizes ‘natural remedies’ over modern medicine.
I mean if you absolutely want to you can kinda see death as a weird form of “natural remedy” I guess… Because once dead you definitely aren’t sick anymore and on top of that you also won’t ever get sick anymore. Doubt this is what they want to hear though.
It is, and I can’t stress this enough, EXACTLY what they want to hear. Almost what they said about it, verbatim.
I am disgusted beyond words. These are clearly people that should have been born unable to reproduce with how little they care for a life they created.
Fundies gonna fundie.
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.
‘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.
They won’t, unfortunately. They’ll continue to reproduce and do the same shit over again.
Cult.
Baby-killers.
makes you think… yeah there sure seems to be sick fucks out there that would murder a kid, but your own kid?
sick fucks
Adverse reactions? You mean like death? Wtf is a worse reaction than that? If you truly cared for your child, you’d do everything in your power to keep death as far from your kid as possible.
These people belong in jail for willfully killing someone.
being vaccinated of course, according to them.
Haha wow, I almost ate the onio—wait, what do you mean this is real? I hate this timeline.
I hope they gave rfk measles
his worms arnt affected by human diseases.
Oh, he is up to date on his vaccines for sure.
Surely deporting anti-vaxxers to El Salvador would be a good thing ?
Jesus would find it difficult not to slap the shit out of the parents
Jesus would
find it difficult not toslap the shit out of the parentsFtfy
They should have any remaining kids removed, how sad that for something preventable a child has died because of its parents.
They should, but instead they are being promoted as the poster family for the official US government policy on the subject. It is pretty wild.
But of course wilder still that this is just one minor insane side story in the current news avalanche of shitty stories.
Spot on!
Joselyn doesn’t want to get her children vaccinated despite the outbreak because she claims to know people who’ve had adverse reactions
Because ‘death’ totally isn’t one of the possible adverse reactions from measles. Oh wait…
It’s amazing to me how many people antivaxxers claim to know who’ve had adverse reactions to a vaccine, given how low actual rates are. I’m convinced that these dipshits not only attribute every sniffle and scrape they suffer to vaccines they received, often years or decades earlier, but use the word “know” as shorthand for “heard thirdhand from someone.”
One antivaxxer I used to work with claimed he knew six people who’d suffered severe adverse affects from one of the COVID shots, but it turned out they were all cases he’d heard about from a girl he used to date whose former roommate was a nurse or some bullshit.
I’m one of the people who had an adverse reaction to the COVID vaccine and boosters, a mild allergic reaction resulting in shortness of breath. Sucked to have to spend an extra hour or so at the vaccine centre each time to be monitored, but a small price to pay. My father-in-law unfortunately did develop pericarditis, which was a known side-effect of the vaccine he received. He’s doing better these days, but it took over a year to clear up.
But despite that, I’d still recommend getting those shots. Apart from these side-effects being rare, I’ve seen how Long-COVID fucked up two of my friends. Both in their 20’s, healthy, worked out very regularly and in peak condition. COVID completely wrecked them, one catched it before the vaccine became available and the other now regrets his decision to put his trust in the crap floating around social media. Hard lesson to learn.
Personally I came down with COVID at some point and it made Influenza feel like the common cold. I don’t think I’ve ever felt worse in my entire life and I shudder at the thought of how it might have ended had I skipped the jabs.
I’m convinced that these dipshits not only attribute every sniffle and scrape they suffer to vaccines they received
Oh absolutely. There have been hundreds of claims that the Covid vaccine was responsible for illnesses and even deaths that had nothing to do with the vaccine. These people live in an echo chamber of false claims tailored to support their beliefs and a complete absence of critical thinking.
In other words, “I am terminally stupid and should not be in charge of other human beings.”
She was eight. Their callous stone-headed defiance against giving a safe and effective vaccine to their children killed their otherwise entirely healthy eight year old girl, who had friends and dreams and goals and a favourite colour.
Sadistic, unrepentant morons.
And now they’re basking in the limelight with the celebrity-cum-Health-czar?
I can confidentltly say this sideshow would occur in no other western nation. America is sliding backwards so fast its an avalanche.
Well to be fair, this sort of this has been happening orettycuh only in the US for decades now. Its Just that the volume went from 9 to 11 now
Cum health? I thought he was holistic?
With parents like that, the dead kid got off lucky.
