    That's all well and good, but none of this makes parents experts on medicine, and children have rights of their own as persons, one of which is not to be subjected to medical neglect of being left vulnerable to deadly vaccine-preventable diseases.https://twitter.com/eyes0_0wideopen/status/1140589743668940801 …

    It’s literally my God-given job to care for and protect my children. When you are a parent of MY children you can argue with me, but until then your opinions are worthless.

        Every parent and patient has the right to informed consent. Within that right, is the right to refuse medical treatment or prophylaxis. I could sit here and argue that vaccines dampen the immune system, leaving patients vulnerable to disease but that wouldn't' fit your narrative.

        You could argue anything you want. That's the freedom that comes from making shit up. You are completely unrestrained from any semblance of rational thought. I will sit here and argue that you're scientifically illiterate, but that wouldn't fit your narrative.

        It’s sad that parents would deny vaccinations to their children.India has achieved remarkable results by vaccination :small pox & polio eradicated, measles eradication aimed by 2020.Still 130 precious lives lost to acute encephalitis in last 1 month in state of Bihar in north

        Maybe the easy availability of good healthcare makes people complacent...they do not witness / experience the havoc preventable diseases cause , as happens in less developed countries.

        We also need a right for children not to be homeschooled.

        Isn't it wonderful how all these "personhood" believers never treat their own kids as people, instead treating them as property?

        No more than you have a right to send your child naked into the cold.
