In the dusty outskirts of Seminole, Texas - just past the cotton fields and under the relentless spring sun - Peter Hildebrand stands outside a gas station, his eyes rimmed red and voice cracking.
On the one hand I feel like no parent should have to lose there child. That’d a terrible loss that hits really really deep.
On the other hand WTF. Your kid dies because you didn’t vaccinate them and you meet with RFK Jr.? Your kid died because you were mislead. Honestly with all the crazy misinformation I can’t necessarily blame them but you would think the loss of your own child would be a pretty big wake up call.
‘She did not die of the measles,’ he said of his daughter, Daisy. ‘If there’s one thing you should know, it’s that. She was failed.’
After his visit, RFK Jr wrote on X: ‘The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine.’

Well they certainly can’t blame themselves now, imagine how much pain it would cause them to realize the truth.
I would blame myself. Then I would blame the machine that misled me. I would meet RFK and shoot him in the face.
psychologically, it’s easier to double down that to accept you murdered your own child due to stupidity
and socially it’s easier to double down than to accept you were intentionally misled by your community and those in power to kill your child.
its the same thing like the wife of the firefighter wanted attention from trump only when her husband was shot dead, and ignored biden condolences.
