'She was my little girl,' he says softly. 'And they let her down.'
Killing your kid by negligence and then playing the victim. Disgusting.

Caption: Judy said her family hasn’t got the MMR vaccine because they ‘don’t like the things in it’
I will cut off my left testicle and eat it for breakfast if Judy can name one ingredient in the MMR vaccine.

What a kickass opening line.
...oh, the app. Still works, I guess.
5Gee modem too I think. It’s just leechcraft from these wizards.
Aren't mmr vaccines oil based?
Seed oil.
I was this close to adding "other than water" to my comment.
Whelp... Looks like it's gonna be jerk style with a side of jollof rice and pikliz.

I bet her kids get to eat that nacho cheese that comes in a can.
Article title is incorrect:
Parents of daughter who they murdered through negligence meet with some dumb cunt to blame everyone but themselves. And they'll do it again.
There, fixed.
Concise & to the point I would love you to write headlines for news articles!
"Mennonites" while the husband is dressed like a completely modern dude probably works a normal job and does whatever the fuck he wants while his slave wife stays home and raises the kids
Well technically his slave wife stays home and raises the kid. Days since she killed one from negligence: 0.
dressed like a completely modern dude
Complete with the douchebag sunglasses sitting on the brim of the hat.

Yeah what a load of shit. They claimed to be Mennonite for a religious exemption, 100%.
Not old order Mennonite then. They don't even use zippers because they are not mentioned in the bibel. They must be in a 'pick and choose' branch.
Mennonites skewed anti vax before it was trendy, like a long time ago. Old religious vaccine exemptions were basically for them, IIRC.
Like, I remember hearing about these folks when I was in school in Texas.
What I’m getting at is that they're not quite the same as MAGA-zone vaccine skepticism. There’s some overlap, but they're more old school and broad than that, with a more general technology-hesitant slant, while MAGA skepticism seems more driven by social media and influencers.
By and large, Mennonites do skew pretty crazy and conservative in a lot of ways, but I think it's worth pointing out that there can be a tremendous amount of variation from one church/community to another, there's not much in the way of a larger overarching organization, a lot of policies, beliefs, interpretations and such are sorted out at the local level.
Some Mennonite churches are practically indistinguishable from the Amish, but there are some around that are very liberal. I live in an area with a pretty large Mennonite population, and the churches kind of run the entire gamut from horse and buggies to some of the most modern and liberal churches I've ever heard of.
They do, like I said, tend to skew more towards the conservative end of things, but there is a lot of variation there.

MAGA skepticism is more about attention grabbing publicity and gathering loyal voters.
Yeah, it skips the religious purism (and the sometimes very real attempt at pondering deep morality), and goes straight to modern attention hacking mixed with timeless demagoguery and conspiratorial urges.
That’s what I’m getting at. I empathize more with old school religious communities acting this way… to some extent. Some transcripts in the article are not very flattering.

On the one hand I feel like no parent should have to lose there child. That'd a terrible loss that hits really really deep.
On the other hand WTF. Your kid dies because you didn't vaccinate them and you meet with RFK Jr.? Your kid died because you were mislead. Honestly with all the crazy misinformation I can't necessarily blame them but you would think the loss of your own child would be a pretty big wake up call.
'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.'
After his visit, RFK Jr wrote on X: 'The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine.'
Well they certainly can't blame themselves now, imagine how much pain it would cause them to realize the truth.
I would blame myself. Then I would blame the machine that misled me. I would meet RFK and shoot him in the face.
psychologically, it's easier to double down that to accept you murdered your own child due to stupidity
and socially it's easier to double down than to accept you were intentionally misled by your community and those in power to kill your child.
its the same thing like the wife of the firefighter wanted attention from trump only when her husband was shot dead, and ignored biden condolences.
they claimed...that Big Pharma used vaccines to make money, at the expense of people's health.
I see this all the time with vaccine sceptics and I mean, yeah... Can't we unite on the fact that vaccines should be public and not some private investment
funny thing is pharma would never make vaccines if it not for subsidies by the govt, its just not profitable to them.
I'm still pissed how the COVID vaccine (and practically every medication) was researched a d developed with public funds, but the patent is owned by private companies.
The public paid for it, it should belong to the people.
There's just more and more of this lately. We give money to the govt, they fork it over to some company, they use money to make a product I have to pay for, again.
Sorry that's just fucking dumb. Don't bail companies out or give huge grants, make them compete for contracts and have the people own a portion to reduce cost to the US consumer. It's socialism, sure. But at least we'd come out ahead instead of getting hosed again.
It's socialism, sure.
Well, the US definition maybe.
We need to stop calling them skeptics. That's not what this is.
it is crazy how close they are to understanding the toxicity of capitalism, but they stop at the last moment to scapegoat someone else.
it's not the Billionaires who are dangerous, it's the one Jewish billionaire
it's not there banks who are toxic, it's the Jewish bankers
it's not capitalism that prioritises profits over health, it's just the vaccine

Punchable faces (aside from the child of course)
That kid is gonna be punchable real soon if a preventable disease doesn’t do it in.
I mean to these people see children as kind of like a numbers game so give it a year or two and they'll just keep popping out more children and rolling around the floor, talking in tongues praising Jesus.
Fucking moron cunts.
Arm around the guy who did it, lol
Can't fix stupid! And it's a murican trait!
Well, if their stupid behavior kills them, it's a problem that fixes itself.
