Summary
A father whose unvaccinated six-year-old daughter became the first U.S. measles death in 10 years remains steadfast in his anti-vaccine beliefs.
The Mennonite man from Seminole, Texas told The Atlantic, “The vaccination has stuff we don’t trust,” maintaining that measles is normal despite its near-eradication through vaccination.
His stance echoes claims by HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., who initially downplayed the current North American outbreak before changing his position under scrutiny.
Despite his daughter’s death, the father stated, “Everybody has to die.”
Son of a bitch killed his kid.
Should be up on manslaughter charges. What the hell man.
Dude has to cope this hard to justify how he and his family killed their daughter.
He does not deserve to have kids.

Despite his daughter’s death, the father stated, “Everybody has to die.”
Jesus, I can’t imagine being so into cult beliefs that I would have that attitude about my own kids, and actively work to make it happen sooner to boot.
I mean sure, we all will die, but it goes against the most basic biological imperative of all living things to make sure their kids outlive them. Must be some strong Koolaid. Dude needs to fuck off with that Jonestown-isque mindset.
I mean, in Judeo-Christian tradition, there’s the story of Abraham willingly sacrificing his son to Yahweh until Yahweh stops him last-second. This kind of behavior is explicitly taught: nothing is more important than sky-daddy’s whims.
yeah, it’s almost like theistic religions are a stupid idea :D
What a fucking idiot. He should be locked up for murder.
He seems quite content with his daughter dying as long as he doesn’t get tricked by the vaccine crowd. What a winner.
Well you see, the injection is Covid 5G and she would have had superpowers
Who are we kidding, this is straight up negligent murder
everybody has to die >
But not that young and not from a preventable disease.
“Stuff in it that we don’t trust.”
Better to be dead than injected with chemicals that might make you autistic? Gay? A liberal? What could possibly be in the vaccines that would be worse than your child no longer existing?
As a parent, I am so angry. How can you look at your child and be more afraid of the lesser outcomes (not that they even exist, but still) and choose death? What a failure of the parents. And shame on every single person in the media that let this bullshit spiral out of control. That poor girl.

The article says the man is a Mennonite, which means he probably believes in an afterlife. In his mind his child still exists and he’ll get to see her again when he passes and spends eternity there.
I pretty firmly believe that afterlife beliefs account for a pretty significant distortion of values in people and helps explain a large number of frankly insane behaviours. Preventing deaths becomes much less important when there’s an eternal paradise waiting for you and the “real” risk is doing something that bars you from going there.
Translation: my beliefs mean more to me than my dead child ever could.
He can contort himself with the knowledge that he actually pulled off the sacrifice of Abraham.

Yep. It happened to me. My mother literally told me “I’ll forgive you if blah blah church and Jesus” I forget the rest, it was like 25ish years ago.
Believing in a God that even threatens your child with eternal torture… and still willingly worshipping him without qualms… Pretty much says it all.
It comes from a selfish mindset. Yes, you’re threatened, but you’re also promised with reward. It becomes a deviously simple equation at that point.
It’s the same as being mugged in a dark alley against a wall. If you believe there’s no escape, do you acquiesce despite not wanting to give money to a robber, or do you try to fight back and get shot?
I’d totally get shot. Hell, I’ll hold the gun steady for him.
What happened to pro life 💀? oh wait it’s Texas
Nothing? It’s always been just pro birth/anti choice.
This shit ought to be considered negligence and reason to at least remove any other kids from the home. Poor six year old was failed by her family and the state.
Sadly now that she’s dead he has no choice but to defend his stance, because admitting the truth would mean being left with the knowledge that he killed his own daughter.
This is a big and good point. So how do we prevent this unrecoverable situation?
Make sure he doesn’t procreate again. Lol
Is this a case of total brainwash, or just a case of a parent who didn’t want his kid? Measles seems like a socially acceptable form of post-birth abortion today.
He’s a Mennonite, pretty sure they’ve been opposed to what basically counts as modern medicine for a long time. The Old Order ones live similar to the Amish.
Like what?
stuff….
more importantly, measles is trustworthy
“The vaccination has stuff we don’t trust”
I would bet money this man could not name a single ingredient in a measles vaccine.
This is why he doesn’t trust it I guess
What about Big Mac ingredients?
There’s a song about Big Mac ingredients. No song about vaccine ingredients!
Is it a: patty, beef, and salad song or do they list all the 70+ ingredients?
Aluminum and 5G, probably.
