Several vaccines are most effective when administered to infants. I'm not explaining to infants the benefits of herd immunity, I'm doing what's good for them as their parent.


No one is claiming that you have to make your infant understand. This isn't even a reasonable misunderstanding, the problem lies entirely with you.


Are infants property? That seems to be the level of reasoning on display here.

There is clearly a continuum between infants and adult roommates, but as the person who pays the internet bill, I decide what the default DNS server is. Those old enough to be bothered by that are welcome to choose a non-default DNS server.

To argue that this is somehow immoral because children shouldn't have their default DNS provider dictated to them is asinine, an argument most likely to resonate with teenagers without kids of their own.


After what point in time does the offspring have to agree to getting the vaccine? How can one tell?
