Completely preventable. But Bobby Jr. cutting funding for infectious diseases while this outbreak continues. And it is not just limited to Texas anymore.

Look at the years look with Joe Biden good for the economy, and the Republicans said no to 75% of his stuff, Joe Biden was old, but he was crafty, check this out. Trump left as shit Biden pulled us up trumps bringing us back down. Numbers don’t lie.

Just as praying will not help prevent mass shootings, neither will praying help to prevent willfully unvaccinated children from dying of something as silly as measles. But come on... let us pray.

All of these attacks upon our healthcare institutions and research might create the impression that the oligarchy would like a large number of working class Americans to die. And for those that do survive, to die as soon as they are no longer productive.

Yeah but probably just a Mennonite. Don't worry RFK Jr. is on his way with a shipment of horse dewormer.

thatsanwoman.bsky.social•44 days ago

He’s going to defile the funeral with his presence? Why? As a public platform to deny responsibility, sell his propaganda or push his conspiracy theories? Maybe all of the above?

Totally preventable so sad that a child had to die because of the parents beliefs

Why is RFKJr attending this child’s funeral to praise the child’s parents for staying true to their antivac beliefs despite their child’s death?

jvarrige.bsky.social•44 days ago

I think it’s insulting he is going to this funeral. Do your job and there won’t be funerals for children.

jmfrank.bsky.social•44 days ago

Such a needless death. They had time to get their child vaccinated after the death of the first child.

cocolu.bsky.social•44 days ago

Kennedy goes to the funeral? How bout adding insult to injury?

albri.bsky.social•44 days ago

Rumor has it the next nationwide protest will be Sat, April 19. If each person who attended a rally on April 5 brings 1 or 2 friends we'll either near or surpass the 3.5% threshold to bring about serious political change. Keep eyes & ears open for info as it develops!

Having Bobby Jr. attend the funeral of your child who died of a vaccine-preventable disease is like having Jeffrey Dahmer for dinner after he’s killed and eaten your brother. Really twisted

I do Bete. Unfortunately, education is not being taught universally, and that is intentional also.

thevinyllitigator.bsky.social•44 days ago

I’m still thinking about the mother of the first child who died saying her four other children recovered from measles so it’s not that bad.

These people are willing to take a 20% chance one of their kids is going to die over a vaccine that doesn’t cause death or injury to prevent that.

greenhombre.bsky.social•44 days ago

What's the plan, Secretary Kennedy?
You wanted the job. Get to work!

lsheard1.bsky.social•44 days ago

Who the hell would want him to come to the funeral?

mem-sue.bsky.social•44 days ago

I wouldn't let that p.o.s. in the door.

hotcatmana.bsky.social•44 days ago

But if they didn’t have their child vaccine, they probably support and admire him. The first child who died if I recall seeing the parents seem to congratulate the other kids in the family had survived, but I’ve never seen such sad response to your child dying as was theirs absolutely astounding

RFK Jr is attending the funeral? Why? To take credit for the kid's death?

mtproteus.bsky.social•44 days ago

Perverse pleasure must be part of the point. If the family rejects him, he gets pleasure from inflicting even more pain; if it welcomes him, he gets much more pleasure from his malevolent manipulation

tomrg.bsky.social•44 days ago

I think they are that far down the rabbit hole they still support him and believe vaccines are wrong.

5miriam9.bsky.social•44 days ago

I know the parents of the first kid to die doubled down on their anti-vaccination stance so, sadly, it wouldn't surprise me if these folks were likewise deluded.

realreni.bsky.social•44 days ago

Not My child’s funeral he wouldn’t…nope…no flogging way. Turn my child’s death, my family’s anguish into a propaganda photo-op? Prolly have to restrain me. I’m a reactionary, that’s my superpower, ask my kids.

queencatia.com•44 days ago

I had a birth plan when I was pregnant with my son. The plan included infant care & evaluation by a predetermined pediatrician. She came to the hospital, she examined him, & she administered the very first of his vaccinations.
Don't mothers still do this?
Why are there so many unvaccinated kids?

Do not let him attend

ladybuggers.bsky.social•44 days ago

Anti vaxxing is tied into some kind of right wing Christianity. I work with someone, other wise intelligent, whose five kids are completely unvaccinated (as well as homeschooled). Scary.

You would have to inoculate your population against the likely virus, and trust it not to mutate around your vaccine. That couldn't be kept secret. Nuclear weapons still exist.

Frankly, as biological weapons against the US goes, they can just support Trumpism. It has a very high ROI for them.
