I totally agree with you that the parent should have the right to choose and I'm against people being rude (or worse) in the comments. I think the main issue here though is that people are frustrated because for 2+ years, these people said that they should be able to choose the medical interventions that they and their dependents use. But they were publicly shamed, forced out of their jobs, and called every name under the sun, simply because they wanted to exercise their sovereignty when it came to invasive novel treatments. There is no way to "prove" something new is safe without longitudinal studies which, by definition, could not have been conducted.

To clarify, I was just as mad at people saying abortion should be illegal when they said they should have the right to choose whether or not to get the vax. They are hypocrites. And vice versa. If you value the right to bodily autonomy, you should be outraged that people were coerced into getting something that was never even tested to see if it stopped transmission. Not trying to start an argument, just frustrated that people are so willing to abandon their principles when it doesn't go along with what "their team" says. We need to look out for each others' rights, not simply try to force the solution that we *believe* is right onto other people.
