Remember Thomas Navarro? He was a kid whose parents wanted him to be
treated by a quack and the state intervened. It was a cause celebre
among alternuts, with many of the same things said then as are being
said about Abraham.
For six weeks after Thomas Navarro died the web site begging for
donations to fight the authorities stayed unchanged. You might think
that the owners of the site would eventually at least acknowledge that
the boy had died. You would think wrong. The site was simply emptied
of content and the campaigners for "health freedom" went looking for
another sick kid to use as a means to an end.
Just as Alan Yurko was abandoned by his anti-vaccination "friends" as
soon as they couldn't use him any more, Abraham will be forgotten by
the quacks before his body is cold.
