The baby absolutely didn’t deserve to die like that. The parents, on the other hand, are experiencing the natural consequences of their own choices, literally what their actions brought on and deserved. Nobody has to say, “I told you so”, but neither do they deserve anybody’s sympathy.
This is no different than parents refusing to get a car seat for their child because they think seatbelts take away freedom, getting in a car accident, and the child dying in the accident. The child’s preventable death is the parent’s fault. They created the environment that was unsafe for the child because they were arrogant enough to believe they knew better than decades of evidence. In this car seat scenario, parents might even be charged with endangerment or negligence.
Or the grandmother who didn’t believe her granddaughter’s coconut allergy was real, because she knew better than the baby’s doctors, and put coconut oil in the poor baby’s hair and killed her. That grandma doesn’t deserve sympathy for what she did.
Will the anti-vaxxer parents learn from this? I’m not sure. We saw similar during COVID with people having family members contracting COVID, dying from it, and then still refusing to get vaccinated.

I would argue the sociopaths are the ones who knowingly put their and a bunch of other people’s live at risk. Hard to have sympathy.

The clear implication is no sympathy for the parents.
Of course no one wanted the infant to die and people have sympathy for that.

Nope. No sympathy. They also put other kids at risk.
Someone driving 150kph in a school zone doesn’t get my sympathy when they crash into tree, either.

Get vaccinated idiot, if everyone was vaccinated this child would not have been born with measles.
