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.”
He does not deserve to have kids.

Dude has to cope this hard to justify how he and his family killed their daughter.

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.
What happened to pro life 💀? oh wait it’s Texas
everybody has to die >
But not that young and not from a preventable disease.
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.
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
Like what?
stuff….
more importantly, measles is trustworthy
“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.
Isn’t it just saline and the dead or weakened measles virus?
This is an old vaccine afaik
Translation: my beliefs mean more to me than my dead child ever could.
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’s a common theme among religious and conservatives. Love towards their children is always conditional.
He can contort himself with the knowledge that he actually pulled off the sacrifice of Abraham.
I hope for nothing but horrible things for this moron. He should be charged with murder.
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
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.
I suppose doubling down on being an utter useless fool is still easier on the ego than owning up to having negligently murdered your own daughter.
So he’s a coward too. Lovely.
