Correct. I'm highlighting an example of journalistic malpractice. I'm not highlighting a forest or litigating vaccination like many (most actually) are doing here. Your examples were about minors. That is an ongoing issue. Having a 16-year-old advocate speaking out about not being able to get vaccinated would be a story. An adult, however, is not. I'm not sure what the difficulty is in all this. One is a crashing of parental rights and underage youths control of their own bodies and health. The other is just an adult going to the doctor. |
Have you read the story?
I read at least one of the articles abotu this situation when it came out. Don't know if the ones in the OP state what I read, but in the article I read it talked about how his younger brother is trying to figure out a way to get vaccinated himself. Seeing as his younger brother is not yet 18, he can not do so without his parents permission.
So is that a good enough story for you? He is 17 or younger at least, maybe even the perfect 16 you mention. Point is, he wants to get vaccinated and can not, due to his parents. Hell if he was a girl, he could get an abortion at his age without his parents permission, but he can not vaccinate himself.
