When I read the title I assumed maybe she got measles even though she was vaccinated or something, but no. She was unvaccinated, got measles, and died. And her parents are saying measles isn't as bad as people are making it sound. Absolutely insane. It killed their daughter, and because it didn't kill ALL of their kids, it's fine actually? I wonder what percentage of their kids it would need to kill before they admitted maybe it was serious? These people are sick, unfortunately with something way worse than measles.
Insanity. I didn’t believe it, so I read the article and… yeah the mother says it’s not that serious and the father claims it’s good actually, what on earth? So it killing one of their kids makes it… not that serious? Idiots.
Makes me worried these parents really don’t love their kids, or even worse.
That the anti vaxers found sociopaths to use really makes it apparent it’s more of a death and destruction movement rather than good people worried about the progress of tech and mislead.
I think you understand now that.. most people who have kids, have no clue why they are having kids or how to be parents.
Yea, even for people who mean well, it can get confusing and easy to make mistakes in so many ways.
I think if a parent intends to really try, that helps a lot. But there will always be a subset of people who do not have good wishes to their kids; I think a very vocal minority of them make up the movements against modern health practices
