Yes, and fine parents who refuse to vaccinate their children
@9LXJML211hrs11H
No, we have free will although not vaccinating is a terrible idea unless you know you’re allergic to it

Yes, when the Science is backed by a plethora of evidence based research and those who have decades of experience in their scientific field should be part of the discussion about it with government officials following as well as gov officials having to take mandatory classes to keep upto date in current knowledge
