Summary

A father whose unvaccinated six-year-old daughter became the first U.S. measles death in 10 years remains steadfast in his anti-vaccine beliefs.

The Mennonite man from Seminole, Texas told The Atlantic, “The vaccination has stuff we don’t trust,” maintaining that measles is normal despite its near-eradication through vaccination.

His stance echoes claims by HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., who initially downplayed the current North American outbreak before changing his position under scrutiny.

Despite his daughter’s death, the father stated, “Everybody has to die.”

    Yeah, this fucker should be arrested, kids taken away and he should be housed in a care facility where he slowly can be weaned off the conspiracy theories until he’s normal again

    Yes, I’m advocating for forced treatments of these fuckers. Hell, I’d deport and quarantine them in a remote island where they can slowly die of diseases and what not, I don’t care.

    If in 2025 you still need to believe in dumb shit like unicorns, skydaddies, and conspiracy theories like a 5 year old then you don’t have the right to live liek any other healthy adult, you should be considered mentally deficient and treated as such. Sorry, you are not competent to raise children, these poor kids deserve better.

    Lock em um

    I’m sorry, but I’m not sorry. These people habe been ruining this world since forever and it has to stop. I’m out of are, I’m out of mercy, I’m out of patience

      Downvotes from people who don’t like this authoritarian stance.

      Fuck em, this is one authoritarian stance I share. If your kid dies because you made the active decision to feed them nothing but fruit, you get arrested. If your kid dies because you made the active decision to leave them in a hot car, you get arrested. If your kid dies because you made the active decision to not get them vaccines, you should be arrested.

      I see those few downvotes, but I agree with you.

      Unchecked stupidity is dangerous, and even deadly as we see evident right here.

      These people should not be allowed to make decisions for others.

      Once Cheeto-Christ is allowed to rampage his way down his list of enemies, I’m sure the Amish and Mennonites are hovering just after ‘gypsies’ (Romani) in the Purge Order.
