Why so many choose not to use it is on them, not God.

You should read the book of Job. And pay close attention to the ending.

These parents should be in prison and their surviving children should be in foster care.

I don’t know how to articulate a principle off the top of my head to allow for this without creating other adverse consequences. But letting a child die of illness, when it’s easily preventable without meaningful downside, should disqualify you from parenting in any civilized society. Any belief system that rationalizes this end result is unworthy of the modern world.

It's God's will that kids are born to crackheads who sell them into prostitution at the age of 5 also. I guess if you are ok with people neglecting their children based on God's will you gotta be OK with God allowing that 5 year old child being sold into prostitution. God, they say, works in mysterious ways and we may not like them but God is omnipotent and all knowing....


Or its just a bunch of bullshite made up by humans for want of a better explanation for things that can't be explained....

Awful parents.

Well, their decision cost them one kid. The COVID brigade cost everyone in the US a lot more, but they think they did it for common sense/trust the science etc. too.

The left has successfully made the risk analysis of medical treatments/actual vaccines with 60 years of documentation equal to jabs that may have had 60 day studies conducted. Congrats, I guess?

i watched the interview. the hospital/doctorsdidnt do much for the child it seems. the virus caused pneumonia which the hospital acted to late on. then they put her on a ventilator which probably the main reason she didnt make it.

“Child dies due to medical malpractice,” doesn’t have quite the same opportunities for the virtue signaling brigade though.

This again. When a doctor puts you on a ventilator, it’s because you are 100% going to die without it. It’s not a “let’s just try this treatment”. It’s a last ditch effort to keep you alive for a little bit longer and hope you fight it off

did you watch the interview? the doctors failed this kid from the start. they sent her home without any protocol and told to parents to give tylenol for the fever. when the next kids got it they were told to take vitamin A which had always been the treatment that the CDC recommended. the mom noted that by the time she was in the hospital the virus was already going away. its always the secondary infection thats the problem.

quote:

The woman said her four other children recovered from the disease after receiving alternative treatments, including cod liver oil and vitamin A, which doctors say have no effect on measles.


blatant lie from the media.

She got measles

The measles then made her extremely sick to the point she could barely breath. They then had to intubate her and she got even sicker and developed pneumonia and died

This is exactly how measles kills some people….

she got extremely sick because doctors didnt inform the parents that Vitamin A is the main treatment for the virus....the virus is known to deplete vitamin A stores rapidly.
