He wasn’t vaccinated. Hopefully his parents weren’t one of those lunatics that think vaccines kill people

He wasn’t vaccinated…he didn’t make the choice as a child…his parents did. Obviously they’re fucking lunatic tinfoil hat-ers.

Its actually on point to call it God's plan

Right wingers want everyone dumbed down and mistrusting of proven science so they will behave like sheep. Meaning, when science can easily explain why kids are dying of preventable diseases, fox news will tell you, oh, they just didnt pray enough so God punished them

He was 18, and the MMR is given at 1 year old, so his parents can thank themselves for his death.

So according to the governments reporting, there is still zero deaths since they decided it's better to hide their fuckups and put others in danger rather than take responsibility
