The most generous way I can look at this is to say she’s in denial. Five unvaccinated children with one dead. Apparently a 20% fatality rate (in her family) is not enough of a reason to get the vaccine.
The most generous way I can look at this is she’s a danger to her children, and they should be removed from her. Rejecting vaccines should not be a choice, just like choosing to starving your children should not be a choice.
If she got bit by a rabid dog, she’d get the vaccine in a heartbeat. Anti-vaxxers are only anti-vaxxers out of pure spite for science and the government. That’s literally it. Willfull ignorance and contradicting personalities in defiance of the status quo. If the disease has a low risk of them or their loved ones dying, they’ll take the risk of not taking the vaccine, because they suck at math and it can’t possibly happen to them and their family.
If the risk of death is 100% (like in rabies), they’ll take the vaccine, because they know deep down they are fking wrong about vaccines and they don’t want the 100% chance of death.
Btw, If you ever debate with an anti-vaxxer irl, asking them if they’d take the rabies vaccine once bit by a rabid animal does fuck up their stupid logic quite effectively.
Neither is science. These are the kids who set in the back of the class and got D’s and got passed by the teacher because they didn’t want to deal with them for another year.

Math is not their strong suit.
