If someone deserves to die that way it's Little Bobby, I just hope he doesn't take innocent children along with him.
Notice how Chris Hayes discerned a definitely eugenic statement about only "sick children" dying of measles and advocating "choice" for parents to allow their children to be one of those "sick children" - no doubt the "sick children" might have a different opinion about their parents ignorantly or malignantly taking that chance for them just as those who have fallen for the anti-vaxx cult lies taking such a chance. Put on top of his call to register those who are said to have autism - something his fellow Republican-fascists USED TO claim to fear as a prelude to . . . . something BAD. At least when they gave that as their excuse to oppose Social Security.
The irony in the new eugenics goes very deep, all the way back to a belief in the theory of natural selection and its long and immediate history of generating eugenics as a "science." One of those huge ironies is the enthusiasm that the haters of Darwin have for his most consequential product. I'm sure Little Bobby is a true believer in not only the reality of evolution but in a particularly crude and primitive conception of Darwinism, natural selection. With him the common cause he has with the Protestant Fundamentalist anti-evolutionists is his love of money. When it comes to anti-vaxx, he got into it and stays in it and promotes it because it enriches him.
