Sorry for the kids, but I have simply given up to care about the members of this suicide cult.

As a former child (read: captive) of ultra conservative christian fuckwits, I implore you to try to care. It’s not those kids’ fault they have shitty stupid parents.

I will always vote and support laws that allow children access to proven medical treatments without the permission from the parents.

Well, that is certainly one way to vax a community against most contagious diseases. And I will admit that it’s better than not vaccinating at all. But not by much. The standard vaccine protocol would be cheaper and more effective.

Damned fool of an idiot.
