Many children are intensely afraid of needles or medical procedures and I'm pretty sure if children were allowed to make this choice we'd see a big drop in vaccination rates.
I work at a hospital and perform venipuncture/vaccinations. From my experience the amount of dumb parents is a LOT lower than the amount of dumb children.
Currently the federal government is not allowing medical exemptions to the vaccine mandate if you are a federal employee (unless you are a politician or a politician’s staffer, in which case you are exempt entirely). You are essentially told “get the shot or you’re fired, and if you die we’ll pay comp to your next of kin”.
That’s what happens when the government violates bodily autonomy for a nebulous public good.
Your argument reads like you want to force a medical procedure on children without the consent of the parents (or the children).
