    Adverse reactions? You mean like death? Wtf is a worse reaction than that? If you truly cared for your child, you’d do everything in your power to keep death as far from your kid as possible.

    These people belong in jail for willfully killing someone.

    The parents murdered their child.

    Hamburger-faced RFK is conspiring to murder more.

    I hope you can vaccinate your children and they are not immunocompromised and relying on herd immunity

    Because the Republicans don’t want to live in a society where we take care of each other.

    As Daisy was laid to rest alongside Kayley in a modest Mennonite churchyard, her father hopes her story sparks reflection — if not on vaccines, then on care, compassion, and the urgent need to protect the vulnerable.

    ‘She was my little girl,’ he says softly. ‘And they let her down.’

    No, you let her down.

      Daisy, once a healthy and energetic child, got sick about a month ago. She came down with a fever, sore throat, and eventually pneumonia.

      The family tried to treat their daughter at home with cod liver oil, popular in the community for helping to ‘strengthen the immune system’.

      But when that failed, they took her to the hospital.

      Hold on. So let me get this straight.

      1. Little girl is sick.
      2. Cod liver oil didn’t work.
      3. Took her to the hospital.
      4. Unfortunately, it didn’t work.

      And this guy blames the Hospital?

      Wow. You might as blame God, Mickey Mouse, and Tiktok dancers who also failed to keep her alive as well.

        There was a similar case here in Alberta several years ago. Kid got bacterial meningitis and his parents tried to treat it with chili oil and maple syrup. Poor kid reached the point where he couldn’t sit because his back muscles were seized, so Mom threw a mattress in the back of the car for him to lay on to visit the naturopath. Nurse friend of theirs alerted them to the possibility of meningitis and told them to take him to a doctor, but instead they went home and did nothing for several more days… kid eventually stopped breathing, and they only called 911 after he started turning blue. They lived in bumfuck nowhere, so it took fifteen or twenty minutes to meet the ambulance in the middle.

        Rather than accept even a shred of responsibility, they blamed the ambulance for not being adequately equipped to resuscitate their child.

    She was eight. Their callous stone-headed defiance against giving a safe and effective vaccine to their children killed their otherwise entirely healthy eight year old girl, who had friends and dreams and goals and a favourite colour.

    What’s sad is that these clowns are also the same type of people that’ll take erectile disfunction meds that can cause things like strokes and heart attacks, just so they can pork their idiot anti-vax wives, but when it comes to protecting their children from deadly viral inventions, somehow the risk is too high?

    I wish someone could speak face-to-face with these assholes so they could be told directly and right through their crocodile tears- that their kid would still be alive if they actually truly cared enough about them to do the right thing to begin with.

    I would LOVE to see them slowly come to realize the abject horror of what they have done as their denial is gradually peeled away, layer by ignorant layer, lie by shameful lie.

    These people need to suffer. And it needs to be public, because through example, we learn.

      They will never learn. Psychologically, how could they ever admit that they set the stage for their own child’s death? There’s just no way. It’s much easier for them to ignore basic science for the rest of their own lives.

      It’s amazing to me how many people antivaxxers claim to know who’ve had adverse reactions to a vaccine, given how low actual rates are. I’m convinced that these dipshits not only attribute every sniffle and scrape they suffer to vaccines they received, often years or decades earlier, but use the word “know” as shorthand for “heard thirdhand from someone.”

      One antivaxxer I used to work with claimed he knew six people who’d suffered severe adverse affects from one of the COVID shots, but it turned out they were all cases he’d heard about from a girl he used to date whose former roommate was a nurse or some bullshit.

        I’m one of the people who had an adverse reaction to the COVID vaccine and boosters, a mild allergic reaction resulting in shortness of breath. Sucked to have to spend an extra hour or so at the vaccine centre each time to be monitored, but a small price to pay. My father-in-law unfortunately did develop pericarditis, which was a known side-effect of the vaccine he received. He’s doing better these days, but it took over a year to clear up.

        But despite that, I’d still recommend getting those shots. Apart from these side-effects being rare, I’ve seen how Long-COVID fucked up two of my friends. Both in their 20’s, healthy, worked out very regularly and in peak condition. COVID completely wrecked them, one catched it before the vaccine became available and the other now regrets his decision to put his trust in the crap floating around social media. Hard lesson to learn.

        Personally I came down with COVID at some point and it made Influenza feel like the common cold. I don’t think I’ve ever felt worse in my entire life and I shudder at the thought of how it might have ended had I skipped the jabs.

    “How could the liberals have done this to me?”

    There should be someone assigned to follow these stupid sacks of shit around through every waking moment. Any time they try to express an opinion, their minder can slap them into oblivion and remind anyone nearby that these assholes killed their own kid. No tip-toeing around and giving them space to craft their own narrative about what happened, just a perpetual rain of palms on faces until the message sinks in.

          I think many people take religion seriously. They wouldn’t spend so much time and money on it if they didn’t. But religion doesn’t change their values. Rather, their values shape what aspects of the religion they care about.

                The incidence of abuse among pastors, while abhorrent, is lower than the general population.

                Yes it is a horrible crime that pastors abuse their authority to harm children

                Statistically, they are still safer with pastors than their own uncles and aunts.

                But everyone on lemmy hates religion.

                You know this was a big problem in my day, ‘Stranger danger’.

                The VAST majority of abuse cases are by someone the child knows and is related to, but so much time and effort was put in to make the public freak out about a vast army of anonymous pedophiles all plotting to kidnap their children that so many domestic cases were swept under the rug for more salacious public targets (that mostly turned out to be innocent and had their lives ruined anyway by people like you)

                But please keep up with the memes because you like to shit on religion so much

                  That’s a gross oversimplification. You do know most pastors that do that have to get close with the kids in the first place for it to happen… they don’t just see a kid on first day and go for it. They’re predators that try to build trust at first under the guise of religion being safe and trustworthy.

                  Good thing they just ship them off to another church once they’re found out? I’m sure plenty of cases get swept under the rug because psycho-Christian families believe it was “God’s plan” or some bs.

                  And I will happily shit on religion all day :) “god” and jesus can choke on my nuts

          I enjoyed church as a kid because it was the one place they COULDN’T just beat the shit out of me for no reason. But still, the indoctrination, lies, manipulation, twisted fucked up world view, and sexual repression are all things ALSO fucking up my adult life. The abuse abuse was a much harder thing to live through and accepting that recovery is a lifetime process not a goal with a possible ending is fucking horrifying, but you know. They both did register as shit I wish I never went through.
