If your child is not vaccinated, they should be barred from attending public school

I've already ceded the point that children's voices over their parents objections when in the interest of the state should be the deciding factor. This is important in rebuking your assertion that I believe that a ward is an extension of self.

I think I said something about this a while back, what was it... Oh yeah:

Children are universally deemed incapable of making informed decisions about sexual conduct. I see no reason to think that children should be able to make the same informed decision about vaccinations that children are incapable of making about sex.

Besides, children gain most of thier viewpoints by imitating the parents, even if we believe that a child was capable of making an unbiased choice about it; the parents influence would undeniably make them less likely to agree to vaccinations.
