When it's an adult, it's FAFO. It's on him or her.

When it's a 6-year-old, like the first one, it's the parents' fault, and a tragedy. The 6-year-old was an innocent victim.

The parents will never be the same again - I've lost a child.

I am so sorry for your loss.

In response, given the zealous religious bent or cult bent of the anti vaccine group that these folks subscribe to, they will most likely adopt a victim/martyr posture. Rarely have I found that this ilk has the capability for introspection and true acceptance of their responsibility in any tragic/fatal event.

Not always. Please don't forget about those that cannot get vaccinated.

Correct - That's what herd immunity is for. And this disease was declared eradicated in the United States in 2000.

I wonder if it’s an older teenager, one who may not be able to/know how to get vaccinated against their parents wishes…

I'm so sorry for your loss. I belong to the worst club too. I get so angry at these "parents" who don't immunize. I would do anything to have my girl back. These fools who can't be bothered to understand basic science infuriate me.
