Vaccine and science denialism has deadly consequences.

If it follows advice given by people who have assets, surely lawsuits if not a class action should follow, particularly if they are people who have a duty to give good advice.
Afternoon, George. I agree that vaccines are lifesavers. Mom had Polio & was pregnant with me. The docs told her I would likely not make it, but here I am 75 yrs later; rest assured Mom made damned sure my sister & I had all our vaccines. Happy Sunday.
@georgetakei I don't know why these parents are prosecuted. Oregon successfully prosecutes Follower of Christ Church (faith healing cult) members whose children die from treatable diseases. Why can't we prosecute parents whose children die of other easily preventable medical causes?
@georgetakei
I am 54 today and I am only here because I had vitamin K deficiency diagnosed and treated when I was born.
@georgetakei Sadly, they aren't going to learn anything from that. Worst case, they'll blame whatever the doctors did to try and save the kid to be the actual cause of death.. or they'll cry "victim blaming!" and reject any criticism against their actions.
@georgetakei The fearmongered anti-vax death cult has brought about yet more suffering
At least this is a rebuttal to Idiocracy being a documentary.
If the idiots keep killing their babies, at least the idiots wont pass on their stupid.
It makes this self-selecting out of the gene pool.
@georgetakei I think is the Nature response to the #moronavirus pandemic.
Darwin Award become a festival thanks to the millions of morons on this planet.
@georgetakei Natural selection in action, ironic because these ppl don't think evolution is real.
@georgetakei “some parents have voiced a desire for a more natural birthing experience, one without pharmaceutical intervention” breaks my heart.
It all sounds nice having ‘no intervention’ but when you realise that modern medicine is the reason that so many babies actually survive nowadays, of course I’d accept the shots that health professionals recommend. Infuriating that this vitamin injection is caught up in vaccine denialism.
@georgetakei Darwin was right. Survival requires “fitness”.
@georgetakei "Death to America" is just a chant. "MAGA" delivers results.
I will never understand any parent's decision to be willfully ignorant about their childrens' health. Your child's life is way, way, way too much cost for your stubbornness, and it's not you paying the actual price!
