There was a man in the news recently who lost his daughter to measles.

His public statements were: measles isn't as bad as you think, and he wouldn't have changed anything despite his daughter dying. Antivaxxer comments mostly stuck with the vaccine would have done worse and lauded him for sticking to his principles.

What worse possibility than death they're thinking of, I can't say.

I don't think parents should have the right to deny their kids vaccines anymore. I just don't know how you reach people like that.

If it's the same guy I'm thinking of, Minion Death Cult roasted the fuck out of him recently. Apparently they're Texan Mennonites who are so detached from society they needed a translator for their weird dutch language

the typical excuse i hear is "lingering side effects" which, if we were to take any of it in good faith, just means they are more ok with being dead than disabled lol

it's an admission that they know all these "welfare queens" et al do not actually have it easy and in fact just the opposite, but they can't reconcile that with their current or past actions & ideology, so they'd rather just die. kind of a microcosm of everything wrong with this current milieu tbh, cos its not just antivaxers who think like this.
