Fuck.
Fuckity fuck fuck fuckfuck.
As a liberal, I have to live with a metric crap ton of specious health claims on my Facebook feed from other liberals. I've gotten through to some of them, but others are completely obstinate. Allowing these bullshit health claims to pass unchallenged has real consequences.
It's not just that the son caught a preventable disease because they didn't vaccinate, after he got sick they gave him squirrely alternative medicine "cures" instead of taking him to the fucking hospital like they should have.
This is complete fucking stupidity. Even if it were possible to "boost the immune system," doing so would be a bad thing. There are any number of serious health conditions that essentially result from an overactive immune system. The fact that people don't get these serious health conditions from "boos your immune system" alternative medicine cures pretty much proves that they don't do anything.
So now their son is dead, and they are completely unapologetic about what they did to their own son.
So not only does he fail to recognize his own role in his own son's death, but he is still determined to get other parents to do the same thing to their children.
Can't we just neuter these people and ship them to a remote desert island or something?
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuckity fuck fuck fuckfuck.

article said:David Stephan has said he believes the government is prosecuting the couple to force parents through the courts — instead of through legislation — to vaccinate their children.
