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.

[-] thyristor@lemm.ee 49 points 2 weeks ago

I wouldn't be surprised if they started banning vaccinated children from school.

[-] Chronographs@lemmy.zip 37 points 2 weeks ago

That’d be insane the classes would have like two kids in them

… so yeah completely plausible move by these idiots 😩

[-] walden@sub.wetshaving.social 146 points 2 weeks ago

What the heck kind of photo op is that? The guy in charge of keeping people from dying takes a picture with a family whose daughter died from a preventable illness?

"Hey, good job on the dead kid! Lets take a picture!"

[-] anon6789@lemmy.world 71 points 2 weeks ago

Just following the boss's example...

Donald Trump is facing backlash after he was seen giving a thumbs-up and smiling while posing for photos at Arlington National Cemetery. The ‘controversial’ gestures were made at the graves of soldiers who were killed during the 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

[-] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

This is even a few years after calling all soldiers that die in war "suckers" and "losers"

"Cheese!"

Like, seriously. They're smiling like their cute little 8-yo isn't dead a few days ago. What fucking sick ghouls.

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 105 points 2 weeks ago

Jesus Christ, I'm amazed they managed to keep RFK from eating the fucking corpse.

[-] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 29 points 2 weeks ago

He didn't eat it but he did strap it to the roof of his car while he ran some errands.

[-] SleepyBear@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Bruh the callback was fantastic. A+ comment with no notes

Holy fuck. This comment.. Gold does not exist on this platform, but surely there is something worthy to offer.

No, a dead corpse of a first born child.

"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.

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 22 points 2 weeks ago

Make this your platform and you've got my vote

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Some day you fine people will realize that none of them care about the noises that come out of their mouths as long as they are the right shape

They aren't expressing an opinion, they're expressing whatever they feel will piss off as many people as possible

They don't craft a narrative, they aggregate ridiculous arguments until you are so exausted of trying to keep up refuting them that you go away

That is their main goal, plan, and purpose

They should be charged with child abuse and neglect, and any other children removed from their care.

[-] Hellahunter@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago

They won’t, unfortunately. They’ll continue to reproduce and do the same shit over again.

[-] deeferg@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

'She did not die of the measles,' he said of his daughter, Daisy. 'If there's one thing you should know, it's that. She was failed.'

A direct quote from the father. He doesn't realize he's talking about himself.

[-] DrunkEngineer@lemmy.world 59 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 37 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago

Skipped: 0. Did not vaccinate their child against the most common and deadly childhood infectious disease (measles), for which a free and highly effective vaccine is available and offered.

[-] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 weeks ago

You forgot:

  1. actively avoided basic precautions to avoid little girl getting sick and dying.

Republicans are SO Pro Life and Pro Family that not EVEN KILLING THEIR OWN CHILD will Change Their Minds about ANYTHING!

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Luckily, they can always have another child and kill it too. It's the beauty of nature.

[-] shiroininja@lemmy.world 44 points 2 weeks ago

Oh of course they’re some kind of Mennonite or Christian extremist. look at her head covering.

[-] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 39 points 2 weeks ago
[-] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago

They're doing victory laps with a politician over a dead kid, it doesn't get much more grotesque or morbid.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

All of their children could die of measles and they'd still say: "God works in mysterious ways."

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.

Sadistic, unrepentant morons.

And now they're basking in the limelight with the celebrity-cum-Health-czar?

I can confidentltly say this sideshow would occur in no other western nation. America is sliding backwards so fast its an avalanche.

makes you think... yeah there sure seems to be sick fucks out there that would murder a kid, but your own kid?

sick fucks

[-] Aganim@lemmy.world 34 points 2 weeks ago

Joselyn doesn’t want to get her children vaccinated despite the outbreak because she claims to know people who’ve had adverse reactions

Because 'death' totally isn't one of the possible adverse reactions from measles. Oh wait..

She died doing what they loved.

Ignoring modern medicine in exchange for right wing cred.

[-] Tartufo@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago

The family are Mennonite, part of a small Christian community that often emphasizes 'natural remedies' over modern medicine.

I mean if you absolutely want to you can kinda see death as a weird form of "natural remedy" I guess... Because once dead you definitely aren't sick anymore and on top of that you also won't ever get sick anymore. Doubt this is what they want to hear though.

[-] Auntievenim@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

It is, and I can't stress this enough, EXACTLY what they want to hear. Almost what they said about it, verbatim.

[-] Tartufo@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

I am disgusted beyond words. These are clearly people that should have been born unable to reproduce with how little they care for a life they created.

When cognitive dissonance turns deadly.

[-] el_muerte@lemm.ee 13 points 2 weeks ago

There's no cognitive dissonance here, and far too many people misuse the term. Cognitive dissonance is a feeling of discomfort a person feels from holding beliefs that contradict each other or from behaving contrary to their beliefs.

This is just plain old stupidity. These assholes believed vaccines are a hoax, their daughter died as a result, and they still believe vaccines are a hoax. They behaved exactly as one would expect antivaxxers to behave.

America has become a very fucked up country in a very short amount of time.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

America just took of the mask. We have always been this fucked up.

ugh. those children deserve better than their shitstain parents. :/

[-] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

I suppose blame shifting feels better than examining how your own ill-informed negligence led directly to your child's death.
