Two Canadian anti-vaxx parents have been accused of letting their 19-month-old son die of meningitis, a treatable disease for which they refused medical care and antibiotics. Instead, they tried and failed to heal their son with home remedies in March 2012.

David and Collet Stephan tried to cure a disease that infects the fluid around the spinal cord and brain with such treatments as olive leaf extract, whey protein, water with maple syrup, and juice with frozen berries. After young Ezekiel continued to suffer for two weeks, the Stephans changed treatments to apple cider vinegar, horseradish root, hot peppers, onion, garlic, and ginger root.

When Ezekial stopped breathing, the child was finally airlifted to a hospital, but the damage had been done. After lingering on life support for five more days, he died.

“Idiots. Canadians.”

If you made a Vin diagram of Idiots and Canadians there’d be a lot of overlap.

If you substituted “Progressives” for Canadians the groups would merge

Although I disagree with most refusals to vaccinate, that’s something different from failing to seek appropriate treatment for an illness.

I know of one guy that told a schizophrenic he wouldn’t have to take his medication if he only ensured that he ate a fully nutritious diet.

I think you meant Venn diagram. Vin Diesel doesn’t do diagrams.

Canadians rate quite high for filicide. That was why I had used the word.

They should have read some history.

When people got sick in the times before modern medicine... they all died.

This is Darwinism being in display. That child will not be able to kill his child...the defective genetics are not passed forward. This is what natural selection looks like in the real world. (Personally? The parents are guilty of murder and should be held accountable.).

Oh come on. Really? You’re willing throw the potential of the child overboard based on would be passing on bad genetics?

Good grief.

I understand your premise, but if true, then our housing projects would be vacant.

My daughter used to work in a medical clinic. She said that there are so many children who are sickened and quite a few that die shortly after being vaccinated but most doctors write it off as “some other” cause. I’m all for vaccinations but I believe they give too many at one time.
