    Caption: Judy said her family hasn’t got the MMR vaccine because they ‘don’t like the things in it’

    I will cut off my left testicle and eat it for breakfast if Judy can name one ingredient in the MMR vaccine.

    ‘She was my little girl,’ he says softly. ‘And they let her down.’

    Killing your kid by negligence and then playing the victim. Disgusting.

    Article title is incorrect:

    Parents of daughter who they murdered through negligence meet with some dumb cunt to blame everyone but themselves. And they’ll do it again.

    There, fixed.

    “Mennonites” while the husband is dressed like a completely modern dude probably works a normal job and does whatever the fuck he wants while his slave wife stays home and raises the kids

      Complete with the douchebag sunglasses sitting on the brim of the hat.

      Not old order Mennonite then. They don’t even use zippers because they are not mentioned in the bibel. They must be in a ‘pick and choose’ branch.

    I mean to these people see children as kind of like a numbers game so give it a year or two and they’ll just keep popping out more children and rolling around the floor, talking in tongues praising Jesus.

    Mennonites skewed anti vax before it was trendy, like a long time ago. Old religious vaccine exemptions were basically for them, IIRC.

    Like, I remember hearing about these folks when I was in school in Texas.

    What I’m getting at is that they’re not quite the same as MAGA-zone vaccine skepticism. There’s some overlap, but they’re more old school and broad than that, with a more general technology-hesitant slant, while MAGA skepticism seems more driven by social media and influencers.

      By and large, Mennonites do skew pretty crazy and conservative in a lot of ways, but I think it’s worth pointing out that there can be a tremendous amount of variation from one church/community to another, there’s not much in the way of a larger overarching organization, a lot of policies, beliefs, interpretations and such are sorted out at the local level.

      Some Mennonite churches are practically indistinguishable from the Amish, but there are some around that are very liberal. I live in an area with a pretty large Mennonite population, and the churches kind of run the entire gamut from horse and buggies to some of the most modern and liberal churches I’ve ever heard of.

      They do, like I said, tend to skew more towards the conservative end of things, but there is a lot of variation there.

      You realize that none of have any context for that, right? You could have been in school in Texas 3 years ago. Or it could have been in 1965. We don’t have any clue.

      That being said, I fully agree with your overall post. I’m just nitpicking.

          So did you graduate from college last year? PhD, or reskilling? Following a passion?

          (Still not enough info to know when it was! Haha)
