I'm not talking about the kids, I'm talking about the parents, the same type of people who want me to be locked up in a camp because i need antidepressants to function. The same people who want to ban vaccines, execute the gays, deport my lawyer sister in law (while cheering the release of felons that stormed the capital).

The only way these people can possibly empathize with actual human beings, is to hurt.

Not at the expense of letting kids die.

What would you have us do? Take the kids away?

Do you know what the foster system is like in Texas?

Those kids are better off with measles. I wish I was kidding.

Way more kids will die if these people ban all vaccines. See the measles outbreak this post is about.
