    The deceased girl’s father insisted that measles helps build up a person’s immune system. “Also the measles are good for the body for the people,” the father said, explaining “You get an infection out.”

    Oh, I get it. I hate my little girl too.

      I know you’re being sarcastic, but…

      They’re Mennonites…

      It’s not that they don’t love their kid. It’s that they actually and truly love their religion and so-called God’s Will more…

      Yet more suffering and death brought to us by extremist religion.

      🙄 🙄

        Yeah I know.

        I wish it made any sense at all, but it doesn’t. And I can’t try any longer. That they would give this kind of idiot lip service to the organization working to kill more kids - that’s above and beyond.

        Mennonites (and Amish) aren’t necessarily against vaccines. vaccination rates are low, but that has less to do with the vaccine and more just generally distrusting doctors (who have abused their trust.) Vaccines and modern health care aren’t against their teachings.
