God damn, this makes me mad as hell - death of 4 yr. old

4-year-old dies from flu after members of anti-vax Facebook group advise his mom to use thyme and elderberries instead of Tamiflu

#


anti-vax Facebook group called "Stop Mandatory Vaccination" are circulating online, and they appear to show that the week before Najee died, his mother sought advice on how to treat her sons' illness. Members of the group advised giving the boys vitamins, botanicals, and fruits and vegetables rather than the Tamiflu that their doctor prescribed.

In the thread, which has now apparently been scrubbed from the group's Facebook page, the mom wrote, "The doc prescribed tamaflu [sic] I did not pick it up." One user advises, "You're better off taking Vitamin D and C, Elderberry, Zinc, and eating lots of fruits and vegetables."

Everyone of those members of that "Stop Mandatory Vaccinations" should be in jail

But there was a NY cop who punished is son by making him sleep in their family’s garage overnight in frigid weather and the child froze to death.

People should not be taking medical advice from people's facebook postings. Everyone's and expert nowadays or at least they think they are.

This breaks my heart. Such a sweet looking child.
