Man whose daughter died from measles stands by failure to vaccinate her: "The vaccination has stuff we don’t trust"

He does not deserve to have kids.

What happened to pro life 💀? oh wait it's Texas

Dude has to cope this hard to justify how he and his family killed their daughter.

Despite his daughter’s death, the father stated, “Everybody has to die.”

Jesus, I can't imagine being so into cult beliefs that I would have that attitude about my own kids, and actively work to make it happen sooner to boot.

I mean sure, we all will die, but it goes against the most basic biological imperative of all living things to make sure their kids outlive them. Must be some strong Koolaid. Dude needs to fuck off with that Jonestown-isque mindset.

Isn't it just saline and the dead or weakened measles virus?

This is an old vaccine afaik

Is this a case of total brainwash, or just a case of a parent who didn't want his kid? Measles seems like a socially acceptable form of post-birth abortion today.

Like what?

everybody has to die >

But not that young and not from a preventable disease.

Follow the god that failed...

I hope for nothing but horrible things for this moron. He should be charged with murder.

"Stuff in it that we don't trust."

Better to be dead than injected with chemicals that might make you autistic? Gay? A liberal? What could possibly be in the vaccines that would be worse than your child no longer existing?

As a parent, I am so angry. How can you look at your child and be more afraid of the lesser outcomes (not that they even exist, but still) and choose death? What a failure of the parents. And shame on every single person in the media that let this bullshit spiral out of control. That poor girl.

Magical Sky Daddy logic strikes again

I suppose doubling down on being an utter useless fool is still easier on the ego than owning up to having negligently murdered your own daughter.

So he's a coward too. Lovely.

Sadly now that she's dead he has no choice but to defend his stance, because admitting the truth would mean being left with the knowledge that he killed his own daughter.

This shit ought to be considered negligence and reason to at least remove any other kids from the home. Poor six year old was failed by her family and the state.

Just fuckin chuggin that koolaid

I bet he'd be more upset if his son died, not his daughter

"The vaccination has stuff we don’t trust"

I would bet money this man could not name a single ingredient in a measles vaccine.

Guy's almost happy his kid died. That should be a crime. Even worse, he's happy to have been at the helm of her death. Disgusting.

I sort of think we should be really mean to these people.

Everybody has do die

Maybe we make one codfin size S and one XL in this case

Texans are a whole 'nother breed of stupidity.

It's impressive how proud they are of it. And scary.

Hope he told his daughter she had to die to make liberals cry

I wonder what the wife thinks.

The fuck

Ignorance is not bliss. And neither is being a useless coward.

You know what else has stuff I don't trust? The fucking measles.

He should have died too

Actually no, instead of.

Obviously his god didn't want him to procreate.

The conundrum here is that admitting his stance was wind would take a level of intelligence that would have had him vaccinate his child in the first place.

I know that's oversimplifying it, but the point still stands.

It takes a special kind of crazy to say vaccines have untrustworthy ingredients over the dead body of your unvaccinated child.

Mennonite man

Ah... right okay.

You can only hope one day the asshole realizes he killed his kid and can't live with his failure.

So basically he'd rather they just die than live with "stuff we don't trust". If "everybody has to die", then why care about what's in a vaccine in the first place? Extreme cognitive dissonance to support an ideology.

Yeah... You totally can't trust a vaccine with 97% efficacy and a negligible mortality rate that's existed for over 80 years versus an extremely infectious virus with a 40% mortality rate and no effective treatment or cure... If only there were extensive scientific studies on these things that were easily and freely accessible to the public! Why do we have to live in such a dark and uninformed time!?

Ah yes, the "everybody dies so who gives a shit" defense...

He says he doesn't trust it, but he's lying. If he actually cared about what's in the vaccines, he would get educated on the ingredients, the process of manufacture, the data and studies that have been done, etc.

But he won't do that, because he is a religious fundamentalist. He doesn't care about being logical, or reasonable, or understanding anything. He heard a certain viewpoint that he vibes with and stubbornly and fanatically holds to it.

Same as radical Islamists, or the Crusaders, or conspiracy theory nuts. They didn't reason themselves into their worldview. It wasn't carefully and methodically researched, it isn't something they are willing to change or adapt or be wrong on.

Stuff, you say. I'd wager this fool knows nothing at all about this supposed stuff.

This is just so horrifying. Don't trust? Holy shit, his child is dead!

And what is this "stuff" that he's talking about? Midi-chlorians?

Fucking deathcult of america.

Makes sense, what if she took the vaccine and it killed her? Oh, wait..

These people should be in prison for murder and forcibly sterilized.

Brainwashed cult, and unfortunately we don't have time to deprogram these people

Made even more sad given that, as a child, he likely received the MMR vaccine.

These fools never seem to think about that part.

So basically, he's saying he'd rather have a dead child than a child with autism or whatever malady he thinks vaccines cause. Holy hell.

If you can accept the will of God that your child dies without vaccination, you can accept the will of God that your child survived vaccination, even it it caused something unexpected.

She died because of their willful ignorance.

Welcome to the anti-intellectual American experience.

Of course he does. He's desperate to justify his actions, because the alternative is to admit to himself that his choices killed his daughter.

You can lead a horse to water that lost their baby to dehydration, but you can’t make them drink

Sounds like the prosecutor ought to be asking for enhanced charges. No remorse.

I should feel sorry for this man because he's obviously mentally ill. But I don't.

Well I guess he has to choose, trust a vaccine, or trust Trump. We should ask his daughter how his decision held up

What are the chances that this "man" is vaccinated? I'm sorry for the loss but that's a selfish moron.

He should get neutered to make sure he can't stand by more failures. What an absolute waste of life this guy is.

I would love to see this man beaten to death

I wonder what the daughter would have said.

Unredeemable. Socitey will not function if people like this are allowed into it.

Duh.
