Attempted murder gets my vote. Restraining order automatically granted between parent and child.

Just as ignorance of the law is no excuse, maybe we should think the same way about science provided three things:

  1. It is very consequential when science is ignored
  2. There is insanely broad consensus in the scientific community about the topic at hand
  3. A scientist, in this case a doctor, tells you to do something and then you do the opposite

    Idk i kind of get it. I don't want the government regulating how I raise my kids. I don't want them to enforce that i follow rfk jrs recommendations. I don't want them saying I legally have to educate my kids according to turning point's curriculum.

    It's a slippery slope and I don't trust the government as far as I can throw it to set what is considered scientific consensus.

    Hard agree these parents should be found criminally negligent, but how will that be possible when their own government is telling them not to trust vaccines?
