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

Turns out that back elderberry is a neuraminidase inhibitor too. Might as well use the Tamiflu.
Take her remaining kids away. Half tempted to call DFS myself but I'm sure many have already done so.
Mother literally killed her son. Should be charged with negligence resulting in death of a minor.

So tragic. The internet really has revealed how gullible people are, but also how dangerous hear-say can be.
this doesn't seem like a Darwin Award, the child didn't kill itself, the parent did.
Darwins only apply to accidental suicide, this is negligent manslaughter
yeah, they are. Older generations lived through shit like Polio so they made sure to vaccinate their kids. Don't ask me how these people don't naturally come to the conclusion that whatever FUD they've heard about vaccines are false.
One kid was already in the hospital for the flu and this kid was also in the hospital.
You guys are going a bit crazy with your faith in tamiflu.
That, and we have a major political party actively pushing an anti-science agenda, dont trust the liberal college educated doctor or the do-gooder scientists.
She willfully ignored doctor's orders that could have potentially saved the child. Has nothing to do with faith in a specific drug.
I also believe DFS should be called on anti vaxxers even if their children are not sick (yet).
This has nothing to do with "faith" in Tamiflu, and everything to do with the spreading of horrible misinformation that's has 0% chance of doing anything positive for the flu.
It does have to do with faith in a specific drug. The Dr. gave everyone an rx for tamiflu. They did not fill that rx but otherwise sought proper medical treatment for their kids. This story is specifically about the mother seeking advice about tamiflu.
Tamiflu is not a great drug, whether she gave it or not doesn't matter
The questions are did she overdose them on vitamins or cause harm from 'natural remedies', and did she delay seeking actual medical care when she should have brought her child in sooner due to worsening symptoms

She definitely did when she talked about the fever not breaking
Should have been constantly monitoring the temps, made sure her son had fluids and maybe even given him something for the fever and as soon as the fever persisted or went above a certain temp she should have rushed him to the ER/clinic
The ability to take care of your offspring doesn't escape Darwinism.
If she killed herself to treat her own illness, then yes because taking herself out. But she chose this for her child instead of following the instructions of a medical professional so its straight up killing them.
