The New Yorker on X: "Michael Lee Horrocks and his ex-wife, Leah Stelly, disagreed on their kids’ medical care. Leah had come to the belief that vaccines are dangerous, and to a broader world view that aligned with the Make America Healthy Again movement. Online, she posted about Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., “b!g ph@rm@,” and living a “non-tox” life style, and recorded lessons for her 11,000 followers on divine femininity and receiving messages from the universe. Michael did not share Leah’s MAHA sensibility, but he was no liberal scold. He had nonspecific theories about the pandemic, which he believed “duped a lot of people in a lot of different ways,” and he didn’t get the COVID vaccine. However, he wanted his kids to receive the same basic vaccinations that he had received when he was a child. Leah refused. Then their kids got sick—and doctors said it could be measles.
