School. They belong in school.

I'm for letting them feel the full effect of their beliefs.

The guy saying he wants to get his children sick with multiple horrific diseases does not belong in school.

He is contemplating child abuse. Good public schools might have prevented all this, but he’s a grown ass man and at a certain point, it’s no longer his shitty education’s fault.

Is a re-education camp a bad idea?

I'm genuinely upset that media wastes attention on such idiots.

Fingers crossed for his genetic line to end right here.

Might want to google that term.

As used by most regimes that use the term… yes. Yes it is.

Vietnam after the war “reeducating” south vietnamese leaders, for example.

Or china “reeducating” Uhgyurs “through labor”

Plenty of other instances of genocide that fell under the same idea- Canada’s residential school system comes to mind.

Run kids!

I'm aware of what it means and has been used for, that's why it was in the form of a question. It was a rhetoric question with a nod to how a fascist states would handle this kind of people who are of an opposing opinion to the state, except this time the state (nearly) agrees with them.

Tough shit, snowflake. You got some growin' up to do still.

You actually have a point, the guy is openly discussing ways to harm his kids and is in all evidence not a safe person for them to be with.

Seems like felony child abuse to me.

remember the MAGATS that were posting "plague spreading memes" on thier social media. Its on anti-vaxxers who take advice from a heroin, cocaine, steroid addict.

pertussis , rsv is one of those disease that is the reverse for adults, more severe in children than adults.

1% chance of getting poliomyelitis, im guessing he wants that 1% chance. also Measles is iffy for children, in a small percentage it causes panechephalitis.

he wants to bring back the hermain cain awards.

COVID-MANIA did a number on these people.

At this point if anyone says "genuinely" in a sentence in just gonna assume you're not really genuine.

Manslaughter is illegal ya silly

Never. That's the difference between murder and manslaughter, it's literally the definition.

In your example you'd just have a very hard time convincing a jury that anyone is really stupid enough to believe bullets aren't deadly, whereas I already believe that people are serious about measles and whooping cough being fine. Diseases like measles, while dealt, generally are not as deadly as bullets - risk of death is about 0.3% Vs about 20% from what I found. That makes it much easier to believe that someone has got it wrong.

So if he gave his family polio it would be equivalent to shooting himself and wife, and hitting his kids in the face with a shovel. Manslaughter you say

We can just call this guy a "virus advocate".

Given polio's deadliness it would be much easier to get a murder conviction in that situation, sure. You'd still have to prove it was intentional though, because that is still the definition of murder. If a defence case is that the accused is not guilty of murder because they didn't intend to kill the victim, and the jury isn't sure that's not true, they mustn't convict.

You mentioned "negligence" in your comment above. If you're claiming negligence, that is going to, by definition, fall under manslaughter laws. In some jurisdictions there is even the charge of "gross negligence manslaughter" which this would probably fall under.

This guy was less evil.

Of the 4 Chaos gods of Warhammer, I could understand people being tempted by power, sex or violence, but disease never made sense to me. Who would want to be a Nurgle cultist? Now we know.

“I genuinely am upset that your kids are vaccinated, because it’s keeping my kids from getting chickenpox. It’s keeping my kids from getting measles,” he told me. “I believe their health depends on them catching those live viruses.” I asked him if he wanted his kids to catch all of the illnesses against which American children are routinely vaccinated. “Yes,”

To me that really sounds a whole heck of a lot like an open admittance that he'd like his children to die painfully.

Even the treatments in the past are surreal if you haven't seen them. The "Iron Lung"

Nurgle grants eternal life, after a fashion. Easier for me to understand than these IRL death cultists…

Are you also for punishing children for the crimes of their parents? What about making a child pay for their parents debts?

Did you know that Gandhi was an anti-vaxxer?

Vaccination is a barbarous practice and one of the most fatal of all the delusions current in our time. Conscientious objectors should stand alone, if need be, against the whole world, in defence of their conviction.

And

…there is absolutely no need to be afraid of small-pox.

I cannot also help feeling that vaccination is a violation of the dictates of religion and morality.

The vaccine is a filthy substance, and it is foolish to expect that one kind of filth can be removed by another.

Until he wasn't.

I can’t sleep. These kiddies are fading away like little buds. I feel the weight of their deaths on my shoulders. I prevailed upon their parents not to get them vaccinated. Now the children are passing away. It may be, I am afraid, the result of my ignorance and obstinacy; and so I feel very unhappy.

It turns out that if you expose children, unprotected, to deadly diseases, they die.

I wonder who this fucknut is gonna blame when his kids take an "unexpected" turn for the worse?

Well how about you die mad you abusive piece of shit?

What an insane take.

I'm for making psychopathic MAGAs feel the full weight of their Evil upon themselves. They don't mind killing YOUR children, why are you worried about theirs? They don't even care about them, or they'd get them vaxxed.

This is the problem with vaccines, they've been so successful that demagogues and morons exploit the fading memory of diseases to play on people's ignorance and our fears from not understanding medicine and biology.

Worshipping Anthraxus

I wonder if a big part of his psychology here is that by being the contrarian and going against X you create the illusion that you are wiser that others. The hipster effect.

On the plus side people like this weed themselves out of the gene pool. Too bad he is taking his kids down with him.

Finally, someone is speaking up for dna/rna bundles.

Hey man, if you don’t mind killing children I’d say that makes you just as bad as them, but you do you I suppose.

Good. I hope he gets so mad from people getting vaccinated that he just explodes.

I'm not killing anyone. THEY are the ones that aren't vaxxing their kids, and putting them, and MY CHILDREN, in danger. I don't see a reason to be polite to people who are voluntarily signing up to be filthy, disgusting disease vectors. If they want to kill their kids, I hope it happens quickly before they spread to the rest of us.

The main reason lifespans were so short in the past was because so many kids died of disease that it pushed the avg lifespan down with it. I used to work to restore old cemeteries with my local historical society. I'd find family plots that would have 3-4 kids all dying within a few months of each other.

Im starting to feel these fools think they have the good genes that will throw off the disease and its those other undesirables that will die.

I saw people older than me in the 70s with limps, dead arms, braces and the reason was always polio.

But then God intervened and stopped it that same summer as the Salk vaccine was used.

Feels like you’re splitting moral hairs. “I hope their kids die, and it’s okay because I’m not the one killing them.”

So unbelievably stupid.

More like God's Plan, these fools don't understand genes, but yeah same outcome.

Taking his kids down with him is kinda necessary to be removed from the gene pool.

No bro, it's everyone else who is stupid. Bigtree is the true genius who is fighting back against the conspiracy of vaccines that have been perpetuated by evil powerful people for over a century.

hipster effect, that's a good one. every hipster i know is a raging insufferable hypocrite who rallies against 'the man'. meanwhile endlessly chasing after 'alt' versions of the same shit everyone else is chasing after to prove how successful and superior they are. they will hate on Brooks Brothers wearing people, but they are willing to spend $100 for one ironic T shirt...

all image, no substance.

sadly, most human beings trust their own 'judgement' of direct and anecdotal experiences far more than they will ever trust the abstractions of science and mathematics that prove them wrong

because people find confidence attractive and appealing. for most people, blind faith and never admitting you are wrong is seen as confident.

and wise people don't seem confident because they acknowledge their limits and that they might be wrong.

human psychology is full of this stuff. it is not optimized to be truth seeking, it's optimized to look for the easiest explanation and the one that unifies the tribe.
