Charming lot, aren't they?

Their hate is now officially Phelpsian.

I could walk through a ward of babies dying from whooping cough or any other infectious disease and it would not affect my decision to not vaccinate my children

Then I hope your children drop dead.

[mellenORL]

Unreal. I can't process this yet. Fuck.

[Stormwarden]

Dakota Bob: Nah, the kids didn't do anything to deserve it. I say let the antivaxxers drop dead, as a cautionary tale. I don't usually wish death on anyone, but if these lemmings cause new outbreaks, I'm gonna be pissed.

Translation: I am a colossal jackass and CPS needs to remove my children immediately.

The McCaffery's said they received numerous hateful messages via Dana's website, including one that said "harden the f--- up"...

...

Someone's child died and some arsewipe told them to "harden the fuck up?"

I need to punch something!

Yeah alright, fair enough. These fuckers really get to me.

I didn't think that the anti-vaxxers could sink any lower...

I didn't think that I could despise them more than I already did...

I thought that the whole point in their hatred for vaccines was that they think that vaccines cause more problems/death than they prevent? Now what did that one moron even think when he wrote that comment? Deaths of other children do not matter as long as his/her kids are fine?

a) If you want to protect your kids you could do that by... Giving them vaccination for whooping cough and other such diseases.
b) That other family did lose their child so even if they did think like you do (you monster) they are not talking about hypotethical matters, or the children of other families, that was their child.
c) I notice that you did not say what YOU would do if you would lose your own children to a disease, but I suppose this is all about you and yours and no one else matters.

Anti-Vaxers, like religious zealots & bigots, are so vested in their worldview that when proof that their worldview is 100% wrong emerges, rather than reconsider their beliefs like normal people, they attack the proof against their belief system & it's messengers. These folks are nuts! What's wrong with these folks?!

[mellenORL]

I read the source article from the Sunday Telegraph's site, too, for the back story. And submitted a comment, which hopefully will pass muster;

"Even the demented cultists of the Westboro Baptist Church do not cyber bully the deceased person's memorial page and their family members when they have protested at the funeral. Never thought I would use them as an example of taking the moral high ground, relatively speaking."

I do, too.

With fire.

Where's my flamethrower?

This is just sick. I'm all for making the anti-vax wear bracelets so we know which kid on the playground is passing around the chickenpox.

[mellenORL]

I'm just dumbfounded that they have continued the abuse for FOUR YEARS! Holy fuck - even the Phelpses don't do that.

Chickenpox is probably not the best example as some countries, for example the UK, don't vaccinate for it. Stuff like measels would probably be better (since anti-vaxxers caused a large outbreak of it in Wales recently).
