no, it's very much on them if they choose to continue being stupid when being stupid cost them the life of their child. It's not on anyone else.
And if they choose to continue being stupid, to go back to the anti-vax community after the anti-vax community helped them kill their kid, well, we can only hope they don't have any more kids to kill.
You're thinking with your emotions, not your rationality right now. Fiki_fiki is right, by insulting people as you're trying to convince them of something only makes them cling harder to their existing beliefs.
I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything, as I highly doubt the aforementioned dipshit parents are reading this Lemmy thread.
I'm saying if the death of their own child doesn't make them wise up, nothing will, and it's not anyone else's responsibility to try and cater to their stupidity by softening the blow. If enduring your own child's funeral, that you caused, only makes you double down on killing kids, then you hopefully do not have access to any more children to kill. That's all. Please feel free to explain how that's "emotional" or "isn't rational". I think it's quite rational.
I'm not so sure about that. You're applying logic to people that never were acting on logic in the first place. Acknowledging the fault would psychologically break most at that point, I'd expect their brain to double down instead out of defense... Not a lot of people have control over that, even for smart people.
The distrust in science is because they do not trust the institutions which have likely caused real harm to them. It's a bigger problem. Life is not so simple. I wish it was, but it isn't.
I'm not saying they shouldn't be held accountable... I'd expect a trial to convince them more than the initial event which is emotionally extreme, they'd likely be in shock for some time. A trial would force them to think about it for a long, long time.
Hope they live a long time
Yes.
