Acceptable to whom? Who gets to be the arbiter of "acceptable?"

So, your opinion is more important than the parent's because of your belief in this principle?

I am just saying that if there is enough discussion between individuals the most rational course will be apparent.

I don't think people should be able to do what they want because of a gut feeling or emotional imperative when it can adversely affect another person.

The premise of Rawls's Original Position is that everyone would pick the same answer (the logical answer). That doesn't necessarily mean that the Original Position on this issue would be forced vaccination, however...

I was already asked that question and tried to have that conversation but they dodged the f*** out of it

if they are attending a public school where some students don't have vaccination for legitimate reason, everyone else should have the vaccination to protect the individual who physically cannot get them.

why should the parents opinion matter if they can't look after their children properly to begin with?

hello there, the question would be what are "legitimate reasons"

Because your opinion of how a child is raised in a proper manner is as subjective as someone elses. Obvious signs of abuse and longterm harm aside alot of this stuff is just the majority's opinion vs the minorities opinion. Even a bruised ass from beatings was acceptable 40 years ago, now its 3-5 and the loss of your kids.
