How was this safer than a vaccine?
When do they meet with the prosecutor?
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.
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 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?
Jesus would find it difficult not to slap the shit out of the parents
Jesus would ~~find it difficult not to~~ slap the shit out of the parents
Ftfy
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!
As Daisy was laid to rest alongside Kayley in a modest Mennonite churchyard, her father hopes her story sparks reflection — if not on vaccines, then on care, compassion, and the urgent need to protect the vulnerable.
'She was my little girl,' he says softly. 'And they let her down.'
No, you let her down.
Daisy, once a healthy and energetic child, got sick about a month ago. She came down with a fever, sore throat, and eventually pneumonia.
The family tried to treat their daughter at home with cod liver oil, popular in the community for helping to 'strengthen the immune system'.
But when that failed, they took her to the hospital.
Hold on. So let me get this straight.
- Little girl is sick.
- Cod liver oil didn't work.
- Took her to the hospital.
- Unfortunately, it didn't work.
And this guy blames the Hospital?
Wow. You might as blame God, Mickey Mouse, and Tiktok dancers who also failed to keep her alive as well.
There was a similar case here in Alberta several years ago. Kid got bacterial meningitis and his parents tried to treat it with chili oil and maple syrup. Poor kid reached the point where he couldn't sit because his back muscles were seized, so Mom threw a mattress in the back of the car for him to lay on to visit the naturopath. Nurse friend of theirs alerted them to the possibility of meningitis and told them to take him to a doctor, but instead they went home and did nothing for several more days... kid eventually stopped breathing, and they only called 911 after he started turning blue. They lived in bumfuck nowhere, so it took fifteen or twenty minutes to meet the ambulance in the middle.
Rather than accept even a shred of responsibility, they blamed the ambulance for not being adequately equipped to resuscitate their child.
Skipped: 0. Did not vaccinate their child against the most common and deadly childhood infectious disease (measles), for which a free and highly effective vaccine is available and offered.
You forgot:
- actively avoided basic precautions to avoid little girl getting sick and dying.
excessive oil consumption will cause GI distress in itself.
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
I hope they gave rfk measles
Oh, he is up to date on his vaccines for sure.
his worms arnt affected by human diseases.
ugh. those children deserve better than their shitstain parents. :/
Jesus Christ, I'm amazed they managed to keep RFK from eating the fucking corpse.
his face is melting, he needs a new face soon.
He didn't eat it but he did strap it to the roof of his car while he ran some errands.

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.

Oh of course they’re some kind of Mennonite or Christian extremist. look at her head covering.
Religon is child abuse
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.
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."

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.
"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.
