A reminder though that each such case is complicated. He seems simultaneously to be a father trying to protect his child from an unnecessary and potentially dangerous medical intervention, and someone motivated to do so partially from Christian cultist beliefs rather than entirely from a rational evaluation of the data.
There are many heartbreaking types of cases in that realm.

Doesn't matter his reasoning. He has or should have the right to make that decision for his child as long as it's not endangering their life which in this case it manifestly is not.
Because a father believed the shots were deadly (which most of us do) and that as a responsible Christian, following God, he was supposed to protect his child, you infer from that that he was a тАЬChristian cultistтАЭ?
If a Christian chooses to follow Christ and then does not follow Christ when calls to.... I believe people call that a hypocrite. I should know.
I remember when I derided Christians for their faith, ridiculed THEM as hypocrites and then when they proved true to what they believed was TRUTH? Finally realized if they didnтАЩt preach Christ was the only way, THAT was the hypocrisy. If this man believes the Bible is true and is called to be a protective father, he should do what God calls him to.
IтАЩm not prepared to defend him more because weтАЩre all hypocrites at some level, but I donтАЩt see your point. It seems to me he acted far more rationally than most have.
I think you might have been referring to the term тАЬapostateтАЭ? Following Christ and then denying Christ when called to make a choice? Maybe I am reading your comment wrong. If so, I apologize.
Good thought. тАЬApostateтАЭ v тАЬhypocriteтАЭ Possibly, iтАЩll have to philosophically think about it but IтАЩm a word geek. I think тАЬApostateтАЭ carries a more powerful connotation with it, Even to the point of mental decision making that тАЬhypocriteтАЭ does not. Hypocrite implies an almost unthinking or, better, default descent into an un-Christlike consciousness where the hypocrite thinks like and loved the world because they have not chosen to love God more. Apostate implies, to me at least, a deliberate decision to negate the God world view as preached by and lived by Jesus. And depicted in the morality and teachings of the Bible. And even a complete, thoughtful rejection of God. It is a totally deliberate position. On the contrary, IтАЩm thinking hypocrisy in my context.
However, those like Trudeau, Fauci and Gates and Soros and Schwab and Biden exhibit apostasy.
I like to remind people that I do not villify people mindlessly like many on Twtr do to our side. I.e. e.g. the false attacks on Dr McCullough, Bhakdi, Malone etc. Trudeau is obvious, he doesnтАЩt even TRY to hide his hatred. Would probably wear the badge of apostate proudly. Fauci deliberately twists facts. Biden (amongst other egregious actions) deliberately defends his sonтАЩs immoral actions and goes to church at the same time, Gates killed children in Africa with oral polio and has his hands in EVERY aspect of this plandemic as do Soros and Schwab.
