Well that’s one thing Idiocracy didn’t predict. People becoming so anti-intellectual they cant even keep their own children alive. However I whole heartedly believe these people considered energy drinks as a remedy, “because of the electrolytes”.
Prison. Immediately
You need to deal with these people.
It’s hard to get people to trust society when society exists to serve the ruling class.
Once in a while, conspiracy theorists are proven right and that’s all that’s necessary to sow doubt in the system.
If the average person recognized that average people are farm animals, then it would be easier to reason with those that reject average rhetoric.
Can we finally already just make vaccines obligatory, with NO religious exceptions? I don’t care about your stonage fairytales, I care about not dying from preventable illnesses just because you need to have the brain of a 5 year old.
The ONLY exceptions to vaccines should be for medical reasons and they should require signatirues from two different doctors at least
Fuck these religious idiots
Propaganda is a hell of a drug.
You should go to jail for abusing your kid over a conspiracy theory.
The jury of her peers in the district will be 20 points below her current IQ.
Dead fish and a shovel?
Sorry little dude. But fuck her.
Butt ducking could’ve avoided this situation entirely.
And I would have locked her up for attempted homicide
It’s because the thought that she made a mistake that would kill her son would literally be brain breaking.
These people will not learn lessons this way. You cannot logic people out of a position they did not logic themselves into. This speaks to a greater distrust in institutions which should worry folks a lot more than this, if they value what they have left. And there are very valid reasons they have these opinions even if their expressions of mistrust are misguided.
Please know that when these institutions fail though, it’s fertile ground for a thousand new futures. Don’t stop fighting.
She literally blames god for it not her own actions.
Yes, that is part of this.
I have a relative who has refused to get her three children vaccinated because she’s convinced that’s what causes autism. Guess what? Her youngest child was just diagnosed with autism anyway. So now she says it’s because she (the mom) was vaccinated as a child, and somehow that made her son autistic. There’s no reasoning with unreasonable people.
The anger I have right now for this fucking child abuser. FUCK. This mom should be the one fucking dying, not this kid. He doesn’t deserve this.
Oh, from the headline I thought the mother got hospitalized. Too bad it was the innocent child.
“We’re not blaming God for this,” said 35-year-old Kristina
Of course not, its not gods fault, its hers and her husbands.
They should lose custody of their kids. This is callous disregard for their safety and reckless endangerment. This should be treated no differently than addicts that leave drugs around for their kids to get into.
and if she so vehemently anti-medicine and anti-science, why the fuck are they in a hospital.
She’s not blaming Santa or the Easter Bunny either…
That hospital comment is a good catch. I am all for personal choices but for an anti Vaxer I assume you need to be off into a community disconnected from the rest of social interactions with people that use and get vaccinated from state medical facilities. I’d say the same for fully cruelty free! Vegans, but in their case, the smell of bacon won’t expand their brain.
always goes along similar lines
“I dont trust medicine/science! we don’t vaccinate!”
“Oh my god, my child is dying! QUICK CALL AND AMBULANCE”
“Oh My god, you want to use medicine to save my child!?! NO, HOW DARE YOU PUT EVIL MEDICINE IN MY CHILD”
“Oh, its too late now to do anything? Okay, I guess now you can use medicine on him…”
“Oh My God! My child died! EVIL DOCTORS AND THEIR SCAM MEDICINE!”
“Oh my god, my child is dying! QUICK CALL AND AMBULANCE”
Sorry, I don’t believe in the internal combustion engine.
Less vaccines = more brain damage = more Republican voters.
We will have lead back in gas by 2028.
Bring back asbestos!
In food!
For infants!
Make
Asbestos
Great
Again
I also want lead back in my milk god damnit! It made it taste good! I’m tired of this nanny state bullshit!
“We’re not blaming God for this,” said 35-year-old Kristina. “Yes, it hurts, of course, it hurts. But God has chosen Ethan for a reason. God is doing something, and we’re gonna glorify his name regardless.
…
Doctors suggested Ethan’s parents could take him to Greenville Memorial Hospital, a larger facility with more specialists. Because their son was in so much distress, his parents decided to take him home and keep a close eye on him. “If all they’re doing is antibiotics, maybe he’ll be more comfortable at home, and we don’t have to put him through this,” his mom said
…
Less than 48 hours later, though, on Jan. 30, Ethan’s condition deteriorated to the point where he had “no movement at all,” his mom said. “It felt like his body was slowly losing all mobility,” she recalled. Kristina rushed Ethan to see the local doctor, who took one look at him and told the mom to get him to Greenville Memorial Hospital, about a 36-mile drive, right away.
Fuck every single unfortunate atom that make up these inbred fucking monsters. ‘God’ gave them enough signs to make election campaigners jealous and they ignored every fucking one. They should be in prison for child endangerment at best.
conservatism is a mental illness.
I’ve never seen “religion” spelled that way before.
Religion is just an excuse to justify the hatred. They hate the real Jesus and disagree with the text in the Bible.
These people have never read the bible.
My point exactly. If it wasn’t religion, they’d find something else to use as justification for their hatred.
Religion normalizes the tribalism and magical-thinking.
Sounds like laziness leading to child neglect, to me. There are endless ways to justify laziness, no need to pick some specific one.
It’s not laziness. These people are actively opposed to vaccination.
I live in this region. Yep
Lazy thinkers.
Attempted murder gets my vote. Restraining order automatically granted between parent and child.
Just as ignorance of the law is no excuse, maybe we should think the same way about science provided three things:
- It is very consequential when science is ignored
- There is insanely broad consensus in the scientific community about the topic at hand
- A scientist, in this case a doctor, tells you to do something and then you do the opposite
Idk i kind of get it. I don’t want the government regulating how I raise my kids. I don’t want them to enforce that i follow rfk jrs recommendations. I don’t want them saying I legally have to educate my kids according to turning point’s curriculum.
It’s a slippery slope and I don’t trust the government as far as I can throw it to set what is considered scientific consensus.
Hard agree these parents should be found criminally negligent, but how will that be possible when their own government is telling them not to trust vaccines?

A parade of bad decisions against this poor kids, then they ward the end she whines about feeling helpless? You missed so many chances to be helpful
God gave you vaccinations.
Yeah… This is what MAGA looks like here.
A lot of people are confused about what’s happened to my country. The answer is that votes from people like this are being counted as far more valuable than people in big cities that understand and respect science.
I’m speaking literally.
They have MORE of a weighted importance when voting.
Trust me, I know. County v county and whichever side has more counties gets the state, then whichever gets more states gets the win. Instead of something reasonable like population, this makes rural areas almost guaranteed to beat urban areas.
I’m American too and the election system here has always been awful. Unfortunately we’re taught that it’s ‘the only way’ or whatever the power-mongers would say.
This is straight-up child abuse.
