“We’re not blaming God for this,” said 35-year-old Kristina

Of course not, its not gods fault, its hers and her husbands.

They should lose custody of their kids. This is callous disregard for their safety and reckless endangerment. This should be treated no differently than addicts that leave drugs around for their kids to get into.

and if she so vehemently anti-medicine and anti-science, why the fuck are they in a hospital.

She's not blaming Santa or the Easter Bunny either..

That hospital comment is a good catch. I am all for personal choices but for an anti Vaxer I assume you need to be off into a community disconnected from the rest of social interactions with people that use and get vaccinated from state medical facilities. I'd say the same for fully cruelty free! Vegans, but in their case, the smell of bacon won't expand their brain.

always goes along similar lines

"I dont trust medicine/science! we don't vaccinate!"

"Oh my god, my child is dying! QUICK CALL AND AMBULANCE"

"Oh My god, you want to use medicine to save my child!?! NO, HOW DARE YOU PUT EVIL MEDICINE IN MY CHILD"

"Oh, its too late now to do anything? Okay, I guess now you can use medicine on him.."

"Oh My God! My child died! EVIL DOCTORS AND THEIR SCAM MEDICINE!"
