I hate this - and I hate the #antivaxer movement. #Children have to suffer because #parents have been mislead by #grifters who try to sell you #FaithHealing, #HealingCrystals, herbal remedies, etc. The whole movement is disgusting to me. There's a special place in hell for the likes of #RFK.

@ellensk that usually only qualifies when the subject directly is responsible for their own demise. I'd rather, in my most cynical of brains, call it child abuse.

Well, when kids die because their parents are idiots, evolution works.

@ellensk I guess I'm too old for that kind of cynicism. My heart goes out to the child.
