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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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?
I'm all for govt enforcing science. Science isn't "how you raise your kids". It's not subjective. It's science since it's fact.
To your point about RFK - think about the analogy of law. We have / had a society where law was relatively objective and was enforced to an extent. That wasn't govt overreach - it was govt doing its job.
But it is unavoidable that a corrupt govt will ignore the law and do illegal things. Same with science - they can already send masked agents to invade your house without a warrant. They can also tell doctors to stop using vaccines.
The only thing we can do in these situations where a fascist is in power is have people resist and ignore them. Doctors will continue to administer vaccines as long as they can.
I think we still need to make it as hard as possible to legitimize this corruption, though. Science-based laws should go through a large approval process first, just like any important law.
Also, doesn't the govt already enforce school curriculums to an extent?
