    I know you’re being sarcastic, but…

    They’re Mennonites…

    It’s not that they don’t love their kid. It’s that they actually and truly love their religion and so-called God’s Will more…

    Yet more suffering and death brought to us by extremist religion.

    🙄 🙄

      Yeah I know.

      I wish it made any sense at all, but it doesn’t. And I can’t try any longer. That they would give this kind of idiot lip service to the organization working to kill more kids - that’s above and beyond.

      Mennonites (and Amish) aren’t necessarily against vaccines. vaccination rates are low, but that has less to do with the vaccine and more just generally distrusting doctors (who have abused their trust.) Vaccines and modern health care aren’t against their teachings.

        I’ve read an interview with the father of this dead child, and no, he’s not against it for religious reasons. I’m sure his religion indoctrinated him into distrusting vaccines, but he is against it because he thinks that there are negative health consequences which are worse than the chance of death.
