    You know how anti-abortion activists hold up pictures of dead fetuses in protest?

    I’m almost to the point of thinking it’d be a good idea for someone to stand outside this family’s house with a poster of that child and large text that reads “They would still be alive if you had vaccinated them.”

    Edit: I should qualify with: assuming the child could have been vaccinated. Some can’t and their fates are at the whims of those who can.

      Even if they couldn’t have been, herd immunity could have saved them. You’d just have to change the sign to say “they would still be alive without antivaxxers”

      Outside the families house would just be cruel. However there are plenty of other places that wouldn’t be cruel and would get a message across. Anytime there is a vaccination protest at the capital that picture would be appropriate. Make sure it is seen enough that congressmen recognize it on sight with no words needed.
