Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Another big sad part of this is that the typical Anti-vax person would read this and think it’s still the vaccines that killed those kids and also that the parents are being blamed to be silenced/framed for big pharma. There’s no amount of medical evidence that could convince someone that vaccines aren’t dangerous because they’ve already read books by non-doctors telling them they’d be stupid for “believing in vaccines”. If anyone tries to give me Aaron Siri’s book again I’ll prob laugh at them though I should have the first time. I’m not having kids tho so apparently I’m not important enough to indoctrinate 😂

I think they are actively pushing that narrative:
Yeah these charges are just going to make her a martyr to the anti-vaxxers. I do feel uneasy seeing any mom charged for the death of her own baby/toddler without clear evidence; seeing all the charges for murders for miscarriages, and cases like "Dingo ate my Baby". Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is a real thing; and all too often mothers face criminal scrutiny just for being the caretaker of a baby/toddler that passes.
We'll have to see what the state's proof is for the foul play.
18 months old is old for SIDS. And both at the same time come on. And you don't know what the autopsies have shown.
...Two at once? 🤨
So you've read the forensic reports?
