Some family bequeathed brain swelling, Measles related encephalitis on one of their kids. His dad reports, "He's pretty much as if he was paralyzed,"
"We're not blaming God for this," said [his] 35-year-old [mother] 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."

Do you remember that old church trope/joke, about how a guy is on his roof, escaping a flood, and two or three boats go by offering to rescue him, and the guy declines to go with them, saying "god will provide"? And the guy drowns, and up at the pearly gates, the guy asks "what happened?" and God says "what do you want from me, i sent three boats?"
Modern science provides blessings that some are too foolish or misled to accept. And it's not just the kids of the deluded parents who suffer, but the whole wider community.
