Couple who treated ill son with maple syrup — not medicine — blame ambulance workers for boy’s death

couple who treated their dying toddler son with maple syrup and other natural remedies instead of medicine claimed they are victims of a government conspiracy to silence anti-vaccine advocates.

David and Collet Stephan, who were convicted in April of failing to provide the necessities of life for their 19-month-old son, are awaiting sentencing later this week.

They spoke to filmmaker Del Bigtree, who produced the anti-vaccine film “Vaxxed,” and complained about media coverage of their six-week trial — which they said was part of an effort to silence those who believe in alternative medicine.

“It’s becoming quite a parental rights issue for medical choice, for how we deem to treat our children, and ultimately, what it comes down to is whether we have the right to vaccinate or not to vaccinate without being held liable, or whether or not we have to rush our children to the doctor every time they even get just the sniffles in fear that something may just randomly happen, and then we’re held liable,” David Stephan said.

1. These people are appalling. I hate to trash anyone who has lost a child but

the Stephans are directly to blame for their son's death.

Their suffering isn't due to some ambulance workers, but to their own actions.

2. It's utterly amazing to see such disregard for human life.

But, of course, we live in a world where many are willing to take advantage of the gullible, and put their health at risk to do so.
