That poor kid. Easily preventable if they didn't have stupid parents. At what point can we hold the parents accountable?

That child died because their parents are fucking morons. They should be held accountable.

Queue the childs parents: If only we'd known how dangerous measles was we'd have gotten our child vaccinated!

We did it, America! From the brink of eradication all the way to killing children in Texas in around a decade! We're number one! We're number one!

The danger of a measles outbreak is especially scary if you have a baby, because they can't even get this vaccination until 12 months old. Similar if you're immunocompromised, I'm sure.

This is why herd immunity is so important.

Hopefully the poor parents can find some comfort in the fact, that at least the child wasn't infected with autism...

Death cult.

Literally.

At least they didn't get autism.

This is really sad for an easily preventable disease. Below the fold, they mention this (which a lot of people won't see without reading the article)

The outbreak is largely spreading in the Mennonite community in West Texas, where small towns are separated by vast stretches of oil rig-dotted open land but connected due to people traveling between towns for work, church, grocery shopping and other errands.

Sorry for the kid. Maybe the parents will also learn the legal side of "criminal neglect". They simply murdered their own child.

Meanwhile RFK Jr. is like "It's one child Michael, what could it cost? 10 dollars? "

Hope the parents' lives are completely ruined now. But they're probably already busy on the replacement. That's what they want to bring back: a world where a woman has to carry 18 pregnancies to term in hopes of having one or two that survive to adulthood. Good times.

Not so loud about their beliefs when they backfire, eh?

I hope this kid's parents suffer terribly. This child depended on them to keep it alive, literally the most fundamental part of being a parent, and they failed miserably. It's the worst form of betrayal: the kind that costs lives. I wonder what Jesus would have to say about that?

If the child could medically get vaccinated, the parents murdered their own kid. You don't get to be a parent and get something like vaccines wrong.

Here we go....

What a fantastic thing for the parents to experience! I love that they will have to live with the fact that their child is dead of a completely preventable disease purely because of their own decisions.

Yeah, but at least he didn't have autism!

The report states that this was a “school-age child”. Because the outbreak is primarily in rural west Texas Mennonite families, the child was likely homeschooled and with parents who, while not opposed to vaccines, are on the fundamental side of religion. Mennonite is like Amish-lite.

I believe this may have been a combination of poor education, jesus stuff, and misplaced faith in isolation.

How's all that winning working out for Texas?

MAGA mission accomplished. MAGA is a death cult.

My thoughts and prayers go to the kid's parents.

But the ticket, take the ride!

Saying that this child's death was because of it's parents decision is cutting off the chain of causality way too soon. It forgives all the grifters and the culture of anti-science.

These parents have lost their child, but they didn't disappear, the kid transformed into a political football. People calling for "accountability" like this family got away with something haven't thought this through. And frankly I have serious doubts that they give one tiny shit about a dead kid; they're here to play football.
