      But I’m not. Antivaxxers need to appear infallible. They can’t be seen being wing or to blame for anything.

      There’s no way one would admit that a loved one blamed them for their death.

      It’s just too weird.

      One that he would bother to admit it.

      Two, even if he had the self awareness to reflect upon it, how “coy” he was being.

      • First a vague reference that no one could possibly react to except to ask for details if they had their interest piqued.
      • Then a follow-up to make it more pointed, but still conspicuously omitting the actual meat of the situation. Seemingly calibrated to try to elicit engagement after the first attempt failed
      • Finally sharing the meat of the situation only after a little engagement and direct question

        He’s not admitting shit, he’s trying to gain sympathy and comfort from his friends, family, strangers, anyone! I wonder what his kids think of him after this?

        Enter all of the people who have been shown they’ve been duped, and respond with “Why can’t you just let people enjoy things?”

        Oh, right. This isn’t reddit.
