Blender Dumbass ( J.Y.Amihud )@calmeilles This is why it's should be the parent's decision to do so. It should be the kid's decision. Then if they have something it's only themselves to blame.
Merry ChristmasIn the UK the kids get their vaccines at a very young age, so young they can't talk let alone make decisions.
By the time they can do both it would often have been too late.
@lyndamerry484 @calmeilles Okay then the philosophical situation here is way worse than I thought. There is like extreme-paternalism involved, which gives points to the anti-vax crowd.This is a very complex issue then. Like you know baby consents to food because baby eats the food. And when there is enough food baby will show that the food is no longer interesting to the baby. But here we justifying "baby-rape", for a "good reason". Which becomes a very hard situation to be ever "right" in.
@lyndamerry484 @calmeilles Would the best option be something like, do that, then say sorry when the kid is at the age when it's possible to talk to the kid.
@blenderdumbass @lyndamerry484
Yeah. What about the kids you can't talk to because they're dead?
@calmeilles @lyndamerry484 What I'm saying is, make the vaccine and then say sorry to the kid. Because the kid might have not wanted the vaccine. The "sorry" part is a ritual to remind yourself not to be become a paternalistic tyrant.
You know how tyranny is always "for the good" of somebody.
I have no idea what you are talking about but please do not add this kind of garbage to my Mastodon again.
