Good.
Let them die, they are getting everything they wished for. Would have been so nice if they'd only had the brains to recognize what they were wishing for but alas, here we are.
I feel nothing for you beyond that you're a cancer on this world and it's immune system just kicked in
-
The kids have nothing to do with it though
-
Yeah but these kids will grow up exactly like their parents, paying it forward every generation. If we can't save them, then I won't care about them either.
That, or we start doing forced vaccinations, which I'm a huge proponent of. You vaccinate or get deported to a remote island where you can stay until you die.
I'm so done with these people
-
This feels like a “tell me you’re from a left-leaning state without actually saying it”. Do you know how many people grow up with shitty conservative parents and want to be nothing like them? You sound like conservatives saying they don’t care if children of Hamas members die because they’d just grow up to be terrorists anyways.

Magats beget more Magats more often than not so they're probably doing us a favor in the long run. And besides, do you wanna be the one to tell those parents how to raise their kids? I'm sure that'll go over real well with them.
Let's all just do as they say. Ya know, put our faith in the Lord's hands and trust that he works in "mysterious" ways to fulfill his plan :>

Sure kids will have some world view influence from their parents, but they don't have the tools to understand what's going on or authority to decide and also the ones that suffer. On top of that it seems like the parents that lost their child so far had no regrets and only doubled down.
It's a lose lose situation

Here's the problem with that, the anti-vax adults were likely vaccinated as children, so they'll live, while their children die, never connecting the dots as to why they survived.
-
And? I'm at the point where I see it as gene removal from the pool
Sorry, not sorry. It sucks to be those kids but they can't be saved no matter what you do and these kids will be the next anti Vax generation anyway
Good riddance

Harsh.
low key agree tho

Vaccines are not 100% effective. You need those kids to be vaccinated also or your vaccinated child would still run a 3% risk if exposed. I have terrible luck and that's not a risk I am willing to take.
My daughter's school will allow for medically necessary unvaccinated children (eg, immunocompromised so cannot take a live vaccine), but only until they hit the herd immunity limit. After that they turn away parents for the unvaccinated child because they have to protect the other children. Those parents will probably be frustrated at first but, recognizing the need for herd immunity from the school for their child, will be better off. They will just have to find a other school that has an opening. This shouldn't be hard if the only refusal for vaccines was for medical purposes, but it's getting harder these days.
Public schools should do this. I think some do, but maybe not. And certainly not with our current admin if they can force whatever they want. My point though is that it's not only the "stupid antivaxxer's kids" who will die. It's 3% of all the others. And that's just for measles. Polio is coming back too. Who knows what else.

Yes, vaccines are not 100% effective, and sometimes a vaccine will actually cause harm.
However, vaccinate 95+% of the population and you get there immunity and you can kill entire diseases
That no longer is possible now. It became dicey years ago but now that the conspiracy theorists won, all major diseases will make a comeback like there (for many people) literally is no tomorrow

A lot of us with conservative families would prefer not to be lumped in with them, not everyone follows their parents footsteps, especially with conservative ones.
-
Then seriously, leave. Leave the US.
That, or protest, rebel, fight back hard. Do whatever is needed to stop this madness.
I'm ao very sorry for you that you're an American and that you have to deal with this shit but please understand: The rest of the world didn't cause any of this. This, the past 5 decades and especially trump, is ALL on Americans and their attitudes. I'm sorry, but your country always has been a shit show that caused untold suffering and death world wide. Ask Iran, Chile, Nicaragua, and many other countries what they think of the US and Americans
And now the world has to deal with Cheeto. Apparently less than 50% of Americans voted, meaning that only about 25+%-ish voted trump. That makes 50% of Americans complicit in all this by not voting. Why the fuck didn't you vote?? You caused this.
The entire fucking world is upside down in chaos now. China will be emboldened to invade Taiwan, Russia is emboldened to invade the entire eastern Europe, Israel is emboldened to exterminate Palestinians in a genocide not seen since the one in WWII, you know, where Jews were purged... , Canadians, greenlandians, Panamanians, we're all scared shitless about an actual fucking invasion (which always comes with the fun of countless innocent deaths, hunger, suffering and traumas) because of this emperor Elmo and Cheeto shit.
So I'm sorry that lumping you in with conservatives makes you feel bad, but I got bigger problems to deal with. I need all Americans to get their shit together and stop this nonsense one way or the other, I don't want WWIII.

These people were tricked into believing vaccines are bad. They're victims (stubborn and idiotic ones)
-
They're victims that willingly make others victims too. These are victims in the same way that a sexually abused child, when grown up, will do the same to other children.
For sure, hit the big organizations that spread this dangerous nonsense, but don't treat these people like innocents, they're not. They are actively causing a lot of harm

How many times do you have to get bit by a dog before you stop trying to save it?
