Because they would literally rather that. If the kid "simply dies" then they get their eternal reward in Paradise you see. However they literally see autism as a manifestation of a moral failing. it's just literally God punishing them for vaccinating the kid.
A lot of them will never admit this out loud. Many of them don't even realize that this is how they think about it because it's a subconscious bias like how a lot of these so-called Christians hate poor people despite literally being told to treat them well and give to the poor. They have that unconscious bias of the Prosperity Gospel that makes them believe that rich people are favored by God and that's why they're rich, and therefore being poor must be a moral failing and a punishment from God. So they end up believing that the poor deserve to suffer because they're poor.
