Everyone, point and laugh. Unfortunately, that’s the most anyone can do.
They won’t get indicted for child endangerment and criminal negligence because Paxton is in charge of that for TX, and Bondi is in charge of that now Federally, and they’re drinking the asbestos-flavored kool-aid.
The deceased girl’s father insisted that measles helps build up a person’s immune system. “Also the measles are good for the body for the people,” the father said, explaining “You get an infection out.”
Oh, I get it. I hate my little girl too.

So here’s the thing…and I know that everyone here knows this, but it doesn’t.
Measles causes immune amnesia.
It’s pretty sneaky - integrating into respiratory tract macrophages, and avoiding destructive phagocytosis by binding directly to certain membrane receptors, and then being transported to lymph nodes where B and T cells get infected by the measles virus too. These memory B and T cells contain the memory of past infections, and when they’re destroyed (because they’re infected), you no longer have the ability to quickly ramp up a response to past infections and you get to start all over from the start.
So even if their other kids survived, their chances of dying from another infection goes up. It takes somewhere between 2.5 and 5 years for that risk to come back to baseline.
The infection itself might not have been “that bad” (despite killing one of their children) but the mortality risk isn’t over by a long shot.
I know you’re being sarcastic, but…
They’re Mennonites…
It’s not that they don’t love their kid. It’s that they actually and truly love their religion and so-called God’s Will more…
Yet more suffering and death brought to us by extremist religion.
🙄 🙄
Yeah I know.
I wish it made any sense at all, but it doesn’t. And I can’t try any longer. That they would give this kind of idiot lip service to the organization working to kill more kids - that’s above and beyond.
Mennonites (and Amish) aren’t necessarily against vaccines. vaccination rates are low, but that has less to do with the vaccine and more just generally distrusting doctors (who have abused their trust.) Vaccines and modern health care aren’t against their teachings.
It was only a girl that died. They might have cared if it was a BOY.
Poor kid.
If they have any other children, these should be immediately taken away.
Sure. This clearly demonstrates a lack of appropriate parenting skills and child safety. CAS would be involved for lots of cases like that.
They killed their child for a political statement. Poor kid didn’t deserve that. Fucking ghouls, I hope some day the reality of them choosing to murder their child sinks in. But it won’t. They are too stupid to have any self reflection.
Why aren’t they in prison?
They better not have a GFM or expect any sympathy. They killed their daughter.
No child deserves that. But given who they would have had to grow up with, they may have dodged a bullet of sorts.
i really do get your attempt to spin it this way, but … honestly, no. dying of measles is not dodging a bullet. the child died.
