I'm not a bleeding heart so this kind of argument isn't going to sway me. Life is full of tragedies that people have to deal with. It always will be and these tragedies actually give a lot more meaning and value to life than if it was a safe zone.
They got very unlucky and their child died. It's a tragedy for those parents. I think it's sick that people want to punish them for it on top of that.
We don't use any pharmaceutical drugs to alleviate discomfort, but we would take medicine within reason to deal with serious issues (eg. antibiotics are needed if you have a dangerous bacterial infection).

You sum'd up who you are perfectly. Ironic that you have no concern about risk to others yet you don't want to risk your child getting autism. Funny how you say nobody dies from these diseases in Canada yet the only reason for that is immunization!
