He should have died too
Actually no, instead of.
The conundrum here is that admitting his stance was wind would take a level of intelligence that would have had him vaccinate his child in the first place.
I know that's oversimplifying it, but the point still stands.
At this point, I can't say I would blame him for still refusing to accept it on an emotional level despite all evidence otherwise. As stupid as it is, how might you cope with knowing you are the sole reason that your daughter is dead? That if it weren't for your arrogance, you would still have a child?
I don't agree with it, but I understand. I don't think I could live with myself if I accepted reality if I were in his situation. Shutting down might be his method of coping. It is a sad situation that was easily preventable.
You know what else has stuff I don't trust? The fucking measles.
You can only hope one day the asshole realizes he killed his kid and can't live with his failure.
His 5 steps of grief:
- Denial.
- Goto 1.
That requires self awareness.
My favorite quote for situations like this is. "You're never the enemy in your own story."
do you understand how much this would destroy someone to acknowledge? that's why they're doing this. they need support to dismantle modern medicine, and that support will be built from tiny little coffins.
I don’t think he will. I think he’s lying to himself to avoid the feeling of shame and he needs that protection. He can’t let himself ever admit what he did.
Eh, deep down i think these fuckers know. McDonald's only haf stuff inside i trust. I know everything that is in aspirin. It's all bullshit.
Brainwashed cult, and unfortunately we don't have time to deprogram these people
This is just so horrifying. Don't trust? Holy shit, his child is dead!
And what is this "stuff" that he's talking about? Midi-chlorians?
Of course he’s not changing his stance. Doing so would be admitting that his child died as a direct consequence of his own actions. Ha will forever be anti-vax from now on, even if his life depends on it.
If they're injecting people with Midi-chlorians, I volunteer as tribute!
“I don’t trust science so I will choose death instead”
Fucking brilliant people. No doubt they are Trump supporters.
... he's a Mennonite, lot of them won't even use the internal combustion engine. It's one of those low-tech sects of Christianity like Amish.
That sounds worse. Good god.
Actually avoiding the internal combustion engine seems pretty environmentally friendly to me
You can lead a horse to water that lost their baby to dehydration, but you can’t make them drink
Yeah... You totally can't trust a vaccine with 97% efficacy and a negligible mortality rate that's existed for over 80 years versus an extremely infectious virus with a 40% mortality rate and no effective treatment or cure... If only there were extensive scientific studies on these things that were easily and freely accessible to the public! Why do we have to live in such a dark and uninformed time!?
One small correction. 20-25% require hospitalization, In the third world 1% to 3% mortality rate, in the first world typically 1-in-1000, but note that at least two have died of that initial group that was infected (125?).
Go get vaxxed, dammit.
Because conservatives have been gutting education every chance they get throughout history. 🤷♂️
What better way to control the masses than have them all fat, exhausted, stupid, and sick?
Emphasis on "stupid".
Damn, I'm fat, exhausted, and sick right now because I've had bronchitis for the past 2 weeks.
Although I'm not a conservative and I'm arguably not stupid so I have that going for me at least lol
The stupid part is the biggest factor, the rest just wears you down until you're like "Okay... Just do whatever so I can get out of this."
Hope you get better soon!
Sorry about the bronchitis. You're probably sick of sipping warm drinks by now but keep it up, you're at Mile 21 and ready to make a turn for the better.
because tiny little coffins make great structural support for fascism. imagine how hard it would be to acknowledge your delusional nonsense directly killed your child. would you ever genuinely be capable of doing that? do you know anyone who would be?
buying your unwavering eternal loyalty by killing your kids. it's great. love fascism.
Ah yes, the "everybody dies so who gives a shit" defense...
He says he doesn't trust it, but he's lying. If he actually cared about what's in the vaccines, he would get educated on the ingredients, the process of manufacture, the data and studies that have been done, etc.
But he won't do that, because he is a religious fundamentalist. He doesn't care about being logical, or reasonable, or understanding anything. He heard a certain viewpoint that he vibes with and stubbornly and fanatically holds to it.
Same as radical Islamists, or the Crusaders, or conspiracy theory nuts. They didn't reason themselves into their worldview. It wasn't carefully and methodically researched, it isn't something they are willing to change or adapt or be wrong on.

Sounds like a negligent homicide charge.
In a logical world, but in a country that gives religious woo a lot of privilege, I somehow doubt it.
So basically he'd rather they just die than live with "stuff we don't trust". If "everybody has to die", then why care about what's in a vaccine in the first place? Extreme cognitive dissonance to support an ideology.
If “everybody has to die”, then why care about what’s in a vaccine in the first place?
Yeah, couldn't the vaccine side effects be "God's will" as well?

She died because of their willful ignorance.
Welcome to the anti-intellectual American experience.
Made even more sad given that, as a child, he likely received the MMR vaccine.
These fools never seem to think about that part.

Stuff, you say. I'd wager this fool knows nothing at all about this supposed stuff.
He’s a Mennonite. He’s intentionally ignorant of the modern world and murdered his daughter.
There's a lot of stuff that I don't fully understand that I trust. Seatbelts for example. Saw a video a long time ago on how they work but totally forgot about how they work.
Point is, you have to trust other people and recorded evidence for most things in life.
It takes a special kind of crazy to say vaccines have untrustworthy ingredients over the dead body of your unvaccinated child.
Mennonite man
Ah... right okay.
