Boy spent 47 agonizing days in ICU with tetanus. Parents still refuse vaccines - Wracked with pain, unable to open his mouth, he was intubated and sedated for weeks.

As much as I would love this, (calling people out on their stupidity) it basically goes against all beliefs and religion; and we see how many people even in this century still believe in some sort of deity, regardless of the individual absurdities of each said religion.

This, in my eyes is a mental illness as well, but who are we to judge? It’s very sad that children have to go through fighting diseases that have basically been eradicated for decades, because of their parents idiotic choices. But then again, would those kids (if they fucking make it to adulthood) pass on those same ideas to their kids?!? Natural selection ftw mother fucker!

It’s not like we can take children away from their parents because they are indoctrinating them with their own beliefs. (Even if it causes harm to others) That shit has been happening for millennia, and it’s still happening today.
