Parents of child that died from Measles still tell other parents not to vaccinate their children.

When religion and ignorance poisons your brain. - Measles are good for you. It prevents cancer. - Sure, if you are dead, no cancer.



Worse that the ignorance of these parents, the Anti Vaxx group that conducted this interview. As if to make sure that even if they were grieving, making sure that they still carried the anti vaxx message to the masses.

And with endangering others. It has been researched that measles lowers your immunity to many diseases potentially for many years after you have it. It doesn’t protect you. It causes immune amnesia and lowers antibody levels.

8. They are Mennonites - It is Plautdietsch - a Germanic language

Old Colony Mennonites migrated first to the Russian Empire, then to Canada, then to Mexico, fleeing government pressures to assimilate, according to Nolt. As economic conditions deteriorated in Mexico, some moved to such areas as Gaines County and other communities in Texas and nearby states in the 1980s and 1990s. All along, they have preserved their Low German dialect and other cultural distinctions.

9. These Low Germans are following the advice of a local Texas redneck quack.

Yet they don't trust real doctors and medicine because it's "english" science.
Can't trust the "english" unless it's a redneck quack.

Telling others not to vaccinate... well, that might lead to bigger charges.

…should require a license. If I were in charge of handing out the licenses, I’d have lost no sleep over those to whom I said, “No.”

These folks would not have gotten one.

The simple ability to copulate is not a sufficient skill.
