      ‘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.

    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.

    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.

    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!”

      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.

    I suppose blame shifting feels better than examining how your own ill-informed negligence led directly to your child’s death.

    Out of all the imbeciles and low intelligent dung beetles in this article, there shines a bright light who lackadaisically pilots his automobile with his arm out the window donning his mint dandelion Carhartt hooded sweatshirt. Steve, the local designer, who non-nonchalantly proclaims that any and all should receive their vaccinations.

    Good on you, Steve.

    “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

                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

                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 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.

              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.

        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.
