Ezekiel got meningitis, His anti-vaccine parents gave him an herbal remedy, and in the end, he dies


David and Collet Stephan have a beautiful family. On March 5, the Canadian government opened its trial against David and Collet. The charge: failing to provide their 19-month-old son, Ezekiel, the
necessaries of life. According to prosecutors, David and Collet stubbornly refused to take their sick son to see a doctor, instead giving him home remedies such as smoothies containing hot pepper, ginger root, horseradish, onion and apple cider vinegar. Even after warnings from a family friend who is a nurse, the anti-vaccine couple took him to a naturopath for echinacea — an herb believed to stimulate the immune system — instead of to a doctor for an exam. The anti-vaccine mindset is on the rise this days, people opt for natural remedies. The debate has been on for a while now. What's your take on this?
