[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only sympathy I have is mostly for kids too young to vax. Otherwise, all of the morons refusing to vax get what they deserve. From an evolutionary perspective, it may be positive, because it is nature's way of killing off dumb people.

Go read up on subacute sclerosing panencephalitis.  Basically, you can get measles if you're unvaxxed and can be asymptomatic. It can hide in your brain for 20+ years, then all of the sudden it attacks your nervous system.  There are no cures, and you just die.

This is the risk idiot parents sign their kids up for when they choose not to vax.  America is so stupid. I'm so done with it. Let them all die.  [/quote]
I'm angry too, but I think you need to step back for a second and have sympathy for the school-aged unvaxxed kids too. They didn't choose this; their parents did. And their parents' choice is putting them at risk. The way you're framing this doesn't give those kids humanity or personhood; they're just a consequence for their parents' bad/misinformed decisions. This child's death is a tragedy, not a means through which her parents "get what they deserve." When you say "let them all die" you realize you're talking about children, right?[/quote]
