1. It's gawd's will.

Thoughts and prayers.

I can't care, anymore. Even about infants. What's the point?

[wnylib]

6. What's the point? The point is

maintaining your credentials as a member of the human race.

I hope I never get to the point of not caring about innocent children and babies.

11. Hear hear!

Babies and children have no choice over the stupid decisions their misled parents make.

[ShazzieB]

13. Hear, hear!

If the day ever comes when I can read something like this tweet and NOT feel horrorstruck, I hate to think what that will say about me. May that day never, ever come!

I'm not terribly sentimental, and I don't cry easily. But these tales of children--babies, even--in the hospital, on respirators, because their parents are brainwashed idiots makes my blood run cold. As well it should.

20. Sounds to me like you need to take a long break from the internet.

Maybe get your humanity back a little.

2. Louisiana is in bad shape with the Delta.

How terrifying to have small children getting so sick.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

5. Funny how wingnuts don't believe lying scientists when they talk about masks and vaccines

But they're all totally convinced that kids can't get it, cause, you know ... the scientists said so.

3. Put the blinders on my friend.

It is out of our control.

[LowerManhattanite]

4. My Dear God.

This is chilling.

[wnylib]

7. Yes, it is horrifying. So tragic.

[Grins]

8. Cue Lee Greenwood!!!! NM. No words.

9. 'Murica

10. K&R!

12. 1 month old

A 1 month old is on a ventilator.
Which means this tiny newborn child had to be intubated.
I cannot even imagine the horror of that.

He goes on to say that 5 of the children are old enough to have been vaccinated, but they weren't.

We are never going to get past this, are we?

[dreamland]

14. I don't have a problem with covid infecting adults

But when the kids and babies are suffering from the infection, it's just sad and stupid. Maybe this will be the message to non-vaccinated folks to get real. The question them is, "Would you risk your child's life to covid?" Because they have no problem risking their own life.

[AllyCat]

18. The suffering these people glibly inflict on others

Is positively horrifying.

[Trueblue1968]

15. so sad. i had a crying jag 5 minutes because of what is happening to innocent kids

[Fla Dem]

16. This is horrible and it's just in New Orleans, where are the RW pro-lifers?

These are children and babies.

[smirkymonkey]

17. And not a SINGLE one of them had any choice in how or whether to protect themselves.

That decision was left up to their selfish, ignorant, stupid caregivers who sacrificed their health and thier lives to "own the libs"

So damn tragic.

19. Someone other than a parent could have infected them.

People are condemning the parents, but you don’t know. Maybe the parents were vaccinated and some other adult or other child infected them. We shouldn’t make assumptions.
