The parents murdered their child.
Hamburger-faced RFK is conspiring to murder more.
I hope you can vaccinate your children and they are not immunocompromised and relying on herd immunity
Because the Republicans don’t want to live in a society where we take care of each other.
What the heck kind of photo op is that? The guy in charge of keeping people from dying takes a picture with a family whose daughter died from a preventable illness?
"Hey, good job on the dead kid! Lets take a picture!"
Just following the boss's example...
Donald Trump is facing backlash after he was seen giving a thumbs-up and smiling while posing for photos at Arlington National Cemetery. The ‘controversial’ gestures were made at the graves of soldiers who were killed during the 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
"Cheese!"
Like, seriously. They're smiling like their cute little 8-yo isn't dead a few days ago. What fucking sick ghouls.
Jesus Christ, I'm amazed they managed to keep RFK from eating the fucking corpse.
He didn't eat it but he did strap it to the roof of his car while he ran some errands.
Bruh the callback was fantastic. A+ comment with no notes
Holy fuck. This comment.. Gold does not exist on this platform, but surely there is something worthy to offer.
"How could the liberals have done this to me?"
There should be someone assigned to follow these stupid sacks of shit around through every waking moment. Any time they try to express an opinion, their minder can slap them into oblivion and remind anyone nearby that these assholes killed their own kid. No tip-toeing around and giving them space to craft their own narrative about what happened, just a perpetual rain of palms on faces until the message sinks in.
Some day you fine people will realize that none of them care about the noises that come out of their mouths as long as they are the right shape
They aren't expressing an opinion, they're expressing whatever they feel will piss off as many people as possible
They don't craft a narrative, they aggregate ridiculous arguments until you are so exausted of trying to keep up refuting them that you go away
That is their main goal, plan, and purpose
As Daisy was laid to rest alongside Kayley in a modest Mennonite churchyard, her father hopes her story sparks reflection — if not on vaccines, then on care, compassion, and the urgent need to protect the vulnerable.
'She was my little girl,' he says softly. 'And they let her down.'
No, you let her down.
Daisy, once a healthy and energetic child, got sick about a month ago. She came down with a fever, sore throat, and eventually pneumonia.
The family tried to treat their daughter at home with cod liver oil, popular in the community for helping to 'strengthen the immune system'.
But when that failed, they took her to the hospital.
Hold on. So let me get this straight.
And this guy blames the Hospital?
Wow. You might as blame God, Mickey Mouse, and Tiktok dancers who also failed to keep her alive as well.
Skipped: 0. Did not vaccinate their child against the most common and deadly childhood infectious disease (measles), for which a free and highly effective vaccine is available and offered.
You forgot:
There was a similar case here in Alberta several years ago. Kid got bacterial meningitis and his parents tried to treat it with chili oil and maple syrup. Poor kid reached the point where he couldn't sit because his back muscles were seized, so Mom threw a mattress in the back of the car for him to lay on to visit the naturopath. Nurse friend of theirs alerted them to the possibility of meningitis and told them to take him to a doctor, but instead they went home and did nothing for several more days... kid eventually stopped breathing, and they only called 911 after he started turning blue. They lived in bumfuck nowhere, so it took fifteen or twenty minutes to meet the ambulance in the middle.
Rather than accept even a shred of responsibility, they blamed the ambulance for not being adequately equipped to resuscitate their child.
excessive oil consumption will cause GI distress in itself.
She was eight. Their callous stone-headed defiance against giving a safe and effective vaccine to their children killed their otherwise entirely healthy eight year old girl, who had friends and dreams and goals and a favourite colour.
Sadistic, unrepentant morons.
And now they're basking in the limelight with the celebrity-cum-Health-czar?
I can confidentltly say this sideshow would occur in no other western nation. America is sliding backwards so fast its an avalanche.
Oh of course they’re some kind of Mennonite or Christian extremist. look at her head covering.
Joselyn doesn’t want to get her children vaccinated despite the outbreak because she claims to know people who’ve had adverse reactions
Because 'death' totally isn't one of the possible adverse reactions from measles. Oh wait..
It's amazing to me how many people antivaxxers claim to know who've had adverse reactions to a vaccine, given how low actual rates are. I'm convinced that these dipshits not only attribute every sniffle and scrape they suffer to vaccines they received, often years or decades earlier, but use the word "know" as shorthand for "heard thirdhand from someone."
One antivaxxer I used to work with claimed he knew six people who'd suffered severe adverse affects from one of the COVID shots, but it turned out they were all cases he'd heard about from a girl he used to date whose former roommate was a nurse or some bullshit.
I'm one of the people who had an adverse reaction to the COVID vaccine and boosters, a mild allergic reaction resulting in shortness of breath. Sucked to have to spend an extra hour or so at the vaccine centre each time to be monitored, but a small price to pay. My father-in-law unfortunately did develop pericarditis, which was a known side-effect of the vaccine he received. He's doing better these days, but it took over a year to clear up.
But despite that, I'd still recommend getting those shots. Apart from these side-effects being rare, I've seen how Long-COVID fucked up two of my friends. Both in their 20's, healthy, worked out very regularly and in peak condition. COVID completely wrecked them, one catched it before the vaccine became available and the other now regrets his decision to put his trust in the crap floating around social media. Hard lesson to learn.
Personally I came down with COVID at some point and it made Influenza feel like the common cold. I don't think I've ever felt worse in my entire life and I shudder at the thought of how it might have ended had I skipped the jabs.
Baby-killers.
makes you think... yeah there sure seems to be sick fucks out there that would murder a kid, but your own kid?
sick fucks
She died doing what they loved.
Ignoring modern medicine in exchange for right wing cred.
The family are Mennonite, part of a small Christian community that often emphasizes 'natural remedies' over modern medicine.
I mean if you absolutely want to you can kinda see death as a weird form of "natural remedy" I guess... Because once dead you definitely aren't sick anymore and on top of that you also won't ever get sick anymore. Doubt this is what they want to hear though.
It is, and I can't stress this enough, EXACTLY what they want to hear. Almost what they said about it, verbatim.
I am disgusted beyond words. These are clearly people that should have been born unable to reproduce with how little they care for a life they created.
Adverse reactions? You mean like death? Wtf is a worse reaction than that? If you truly cared for your child, you'd do everything in your power to keep death as far from your kid as possible.
These people belong in jail for willfully killing someone.
Jesus would find it difficult not to slap the shit out of the parents
They should have any remaining kids removed, how sad that for something preventable a child has died because of its parents.
They should, but instead they are being promoted as the poster family for the official US government policy on the subject. It is pretty wild.
But of course wilder still that this is just one minor insane side story in the current news avalanche of shitty stories.
When cognitive dissonance turns deadly.
There's no cognitive dissonance here, and far too many people misuse the term. Cognitive dissonance is a feeling of discomfort a person feels from holding beliefs that contradict each other or from behaving contrary to their beliefs.
This is just plain old stupidity. These assholes believed vaccines are a hoax, their daughter died as a result, and they still believe vaccines are a hoax. They behaved exactly as one would expect antivaxxers to behave.
Cult.
With parents like that, the dead kid got off lucky.
Well that’s not surprising whatsoever
ugh. those children deserve better than their shitstain parents. :/
Haha wow, I almost ate the onio—wait, what do you mean this is real? I hate this timeline.
America has become a very fucked up country in a very short amount of time.
America just took of the mask. We have always been this fucked up.
This guy pays attention.
You mean the last 40 years?
Out of all the imbeciles and low intelligent dung beetles in this article, there shines a bright light who lackadaisically pilots his automobile with his arm out the window donning his mint dandelion Carhartt hooded sweatshirt. Steve, the local designer, who non-nonchalantly proclaims that any and all should receive their vaccinations.
Good on you, Steve.
I suppose blame shifting feels better than examining how your own ill-informed negligence led directly to your child's death.
