We feel sorry for the KID, but not the POS parents. Hope they are haunted every day by the fact that their idiocy killed their own kid. |
Co-morbidities being the big one. |
Ah it’s Ashleigh trying to rationalize how she’s utterly her kids in harms way. There must be some other explanation as to why a kid died from measles other than measles. The thing is Ashleigh healthy kids do die of measles. People in poor health also die of measles but had they not contracted measles they would be enjoying another day alive in their existing state or poor health. Ashleigh Darwin is science. |
The releases said the child was otherwise healthy. Because healthy children have in fact been killed by measles. It’s what makes this disease so particularly awful. |
There has been so much gaming of the term healthy that we need specifics these days. |
Don’t worry, your kids aren’t fat so you can skip vaccinations for them. Is that what you want to hear? Go pull some oil. |
Measles has been studied and tracked for a very long time. This is not like Covid where we're only just figuring out what types of comorbidities might cause complications or death. It is already known which populations are at higher risk, and it is already known that measles can cause serious life-long complications and death even in healthy people. So tell me, why do you care what the child's comorbidities were? How will that impact your actions? Alllll the data is at your fingertips. Or better yet ask your doctor's advice. I hope people like you aren't thinking "this kid probably had leukemia so I really don't need to worry about my non-leukemia kids." |
We can't save everyone. There is a child dying in a car accident every day, nobody cares. Nobody cares to make our suburbs less car dependent, to make it safer to get around. Nobody cares how many kids die of neglect or abuse or suicides (a LOT more than Measles). Why is this story making headlines and so many discussions? It's purely political. These outbreaks happened before and you hardly remember unless someone brings it to your retinas. |
Hell yes we care about children dying in car accidents everyday. And hell yes we care about children dying of measles. |
Because measles deaths can be prevented by vaccination. And the numbers of the unvaccinated are increasing because those people are so dumb. |
It's making headlines because there is already a known solution in place, accessible to everyone in the country. Not so for the other things you mentioned. That's how the news works. |
Are you dense? There is literally nothing different now and this was the case before. No, you cannot and you will not vaccinate every single person. It's literally impossible to control. There is nothing new about this. I do not understand the degree of coverage this gets. |
When I was a kid in the 1970s, I remember playing. In the local cemetery and seeing all the little kids graves with the little stone lambs on top. They had a special section that was reserved by the local hospital to bury all the dead kids. These anti vax parents are so stupid. |
Jesus Christ of course people cared about people dying in car accidents, that’s why cars are like 20 times safer than they were when I was a kid. |
+1 Measles deaths in America are - FOR NOW - unusual. Which is why it made the news. Unusual things make the news. THAT is how the news works. |
