Children of such people have been dealt an awful hand.

  If only life were simple enough to make such statements. On the facet of risk towards a particular form of cancer, it might be an awful hand. On the fact of mental health, it might be a better hand than others: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/press-releases/religious-upbringing-adult-health/ https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/press-releases/religious-u... At the moment, since mental health seems to be a bigger issue than cancer (according to the media), it’s not trivial to define what an awful hand is :)

    Your article is about religiousness in general, while the problem with HPV prevention is specific to a few specific denominations.

    That "(according to the media)" bit of hand-waving is doing a lot of work.

This is about as worrisome as the crunchy liberals in Sonoma who make their children wear healing crystals.

  The groups have a strong overlap.

  What are the comparative lifetime risks of being exposed to healing crystals vs. not getting the vaccine?
  - refurb 5y ago
    When you don’t give your child access to western medicine but instead to crystals, the risk is pretty fuxking high.
    - WalterGR 5y ago
      Ah, okay, I didn’t realize that you meant using healing crystals instead of vaccines. I read it as: parents using healing crystals at all is as worrisome as not vaccinating their children.

        It also is, children shouldn't be misled by their parents about scams like healing crystals because they will believe it as they are children. Later in life they might resort to crystals instead of getting medical attention.

        I'm far more worried by children being misled by their parents about scams like stimulants instead of meditation. I've never heard of someone developing a dependancy on a crystal.
