Summary
The parents of a 6-year-old unvaccinated Texas girl who died from measles stated in an interview that the disease “wasn’t that bad” despite her death.
The family belongs to a Mennonite community and remains opposed to the MMR vaccine, citing perceived risks. Four other siblings contracted milder cases.
Health officials and public figures, including RFK Jr., urged vaccination to curb the outbreak. The girl’s symptoms worsened to pneumonia before she died in intensive care.
The case marks the first U.S. child measles death in nearly a decade.
The family belongs to a Mennonite community
Well, yeah…
They’re an extremist religious cult…
They don’t think their kid is dead and gone, they think “Sky Daddy called our angel home”.
This is what happens when people are convinced reality doesn’t matter because they have eternity in the afterlife.
Like the other person said, what seperates them from regular death cults is rules against suicide.
Like, my mom’s just regular crazy Christian. She’s been ready to go for over a decade and would be happy about it. But if she takes direct action to die, she goes to the bad place.
So like, during COVID she was leaving the house more than pre-Covid, just intentionally doing dumb shit because putting yourself in a dangerous situation where you might die…
Still isn’t direct action
People that want to die, are willing to die over literally anything, are incredibly dangerous for a society.
They’ll pull a gun because you waited too long at a green light and be 100% ok dying in a highspeed shootout. Because as long as they don’t kill themselves, they believe they’re going straight to heaven
That’s the reason churches made suicide a sin that’ll send you to hell. Close up that loophole real quick
This couple is truly living in the 1800s.
Yeah it’s sad our kid died of disease, but the other 4 made it so it’s okay
Hopefully this stupidity is self limiting. It’s too bad that it’s not the parents getting sick and dying instead of innocent children.
After all, their child was merely killed by a completely preventable disease, but the vaccine could have done anything! It could have even killed their child! /s
remains opposed to the MMR vaccine, citing perceived risks
Pray tell what risk is going to be worse than death?
Even let’s pretend the ridiculous allegations that vaccines cause autism is true, this just means they believe “better dead than disabled”, which definitely calls to mind the “involuntary euthanasia” /mass murder of disabled people in Nazi Germany.
At what point does this kind of behavior become criminal negligence?
