Yeah, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. In fact, there are a lot of things that children can do without parental knowledge that are worse than getting the vaccine, but every little bit hurts.
I didn't mean to imply that was a good thing. I think it's outrageous especially since children can't give informed consent and will be swayed more than adults would be by peer pressure.
There are several countries in that case. I wonder how this can hold water legally. I mean, is it not a widespread feature of minors that they are not responsible and that parents are responsible for them? I know that kids can go to the grocer's and buy candies but this is an accepted exception to the rule, not a real right to enter agreements...
I think this is an artifact of the changes in some locations in the US (not sure about other countries) that make it possible for children to take hormonal medications (for gender dysphoria) and in some states abortions, without parental notification. That is what I was referring to above in "worse than getting the vaccine."
In San Francisco, children 12 and up can get the vaccine without parental consent.

Yeah, sorry if I came off as thinking you liked it. That wasn't in my thought process, but I can see where you might think it was.
