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.
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.
These people were tricked into believing vaccines are bad. They're victims (stubborn and idiotic ones)
How many times do you have to get bit by a dog before you stop trying to save it?
