Story about a kid with measles encephalitis. Man, the comments section was not the least bit kind to the mother:
Ethan’s parents decided not to immunize him against measles as they did with his three brothers. Three out of four of them contracted measles. Still, despite Ethan’s ordeal, his mom stands by their decision. “We’re not blaming God for this,” said 35-year-old Kristina. “Yes, it hurts, of course, it hurts. But God has chosen Ethan for a reason. God is doing something, and we're gonna glorify his name regardless.
“And we wouldn't change it any other way,” the mom continued. “If I knew this could be the outcome, I still wouldn't have given my son the vaccine.”
I'm not a religious person, but this "We're not blaming God.............................God has chosen..." nonsense is a poor excuse. We have free will. As a parent, YOU chose to not give a very safe vaccine to your children. God did not do this.
