i had no sympathy for anti-vax adults during covid, their choice to risk their lives. But children with basic vaccinations? their parents are taking the risk and the ones that didn't choose are getting the consequences

One side takes the risk, the other side faces the consequences.

Are we still talking about parents/children? Because that also applies to republican politicians/everybody else
