    Shackle their minds when they’re bent on the cross /
    When ignorance reigns, life is lost

      The future needs to be letting idiots kill themselves or the fascists will continue to weaponize their stupidity

    Nothing says love like preventing your child from having 1 small shot. Why even bother having kids?

    “We don’t like the vaccinations, what they have these days. We heard too much, and we saw too much.”

    I want to know what he heard and saw about vaccines, and where he heard and saw it.

    I think a lot of the issues in these extremely conservative communities is due to them being unable to rectify the contradictions between religious beliefs and the scientific method.

      Probably has less to do with religion and more with not being able to distinguish between reputable and non reputable sources.

        Seriously, what exactly do you think “religious faith” is, if not strongly believing in something despite lack of evidence (i.e., exactly the antithesis of the Scientific Method)?

          I’m just saying, there’s plenty of secular anti-vaxxers who just believe it because they saw it on Facebook and don’t understand that anyone can post whatever nonsense they want on there without repercussions.

        if it’s not from the church it’s not reputable, and they’re trained that way by the church from the moment they’re kids.

            And I go to church and I’m fully onboard with science, including vaccinations. So it’s not church that’s the problem, but people being dumb, which neither faith nor atheism can fix.

          This. This has nothing to do with them reading reputable and non reputable sources. The Mennonites are extremely obedient to whomever their local leaders are, up to and including uprooting and leaving if they decide another location just needs more people. Not using vaccines when a lot of these folks aren’t allowed to use the internet is not that much of a stretch.

    No shit. His choices are to either double down or admit to himself that he killed his daughter.

      He is mentally ill. His child should have been taken away from him long before this happened.

      Unfortunately, thanks to millions of people as mentally ill as he is, who inject the conservative propaganda machine directly into their brain stem, she may not have been much better off in foster care…

    If he had gotten her the vaccine, what was she going to do? Die harder?

    That’s because if he acknowledges he was wrong he also has to acknowledge he let his daughter die through neglect.

    Not so hard to understand really.

    We can simultaneously acknowledge that this idiot let his daughter die and that he will pay the ultimate price for that stupidity every day for the rest of his life.
