Gotta love the anti-vaxxers. These populist conspiracy nuts who get their information from Facebook are turning us back to a third world country.

I’m going to keep saying it. Thake their kids away. This is no different than child neglect.

Idiots. They believe in everything that was done to save the poor kid but not the vaccines that could have prevented it in the first place.

Especially considering that giving him his first round of tetanus vaccination is a big part of what saved him. And then they refuse the follow-up shots.

Another version that will wrench your heart:

Boy spent 47 agonizing days in ICU with tetanus. Parents still refuse vaccines

Usually with ARS, I'd say 'read the comments'. Not sure about this story, there are not a lot of good things you can say about this.

Why are we not charging these parents. Canada has S. 215 and the States laws to protect children from this too, why are we not tossing Mom and Dad in jail?

And make them pay the $800k medical bills. Plus the medevac chopper.
