espite extensive review of the risks and benefits of tetanus vaccination by physicians, the family declined the second dose of DTaP and any other recommended immunizations.

God fucking damn it how the fuck are people this dumb?!

Phrased differently: When the family was offered a choice between a provenly effective solution (which they themselves witnessed) or another roll of the dice, they emphatically said "roll the dice baby! My child's life on red!"

So unbelievably stupid.

Stupid or sadistic, and I'm leaning towards sadistic. There are people who enjoy watching their children suffer, and they justify it by saying "Suffering builds character". Or maybe it's God's plan. If God wants you to get sick, then you'll get sick. You shouldn't get vaccinated, because then you're interfering with God's plans!

I had somebody like this in my family.

This isn't dumb. This is psychotic.

I feel like the family should be liable, and the child taken to a family that's not dangerously stupid.
