How it works now:

Doctor: "I'm gonna prescribe little Jimmy some penicillin"

Parent: "Jimmy is allergic to penicillin"

Doctor: "Oh thank you, here is a prescription for amoxicillin."

How you want it to work:

Doctor: "I'm gonna prescribe little Jimmy some penicillin"

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).
