This is a normal post What about choice?
As far as the law is concerned, children under sixteen lack competence to make moral decisions for themselves. As such, the responsibility passes to others, who have a duty to act in the child's best medical interests.

Usually, that other is the parent; and it's usually assumed that the parent will act in the child's best interest. But that assumption is rebuttable - in which case, a suboptimal decision can be overruled. That's what happened here.

It's got nothing to do with rights or choice. It's about duties to those in your care.

This is a normal post more likely that the parents are new agey or religious folk
who believed the lies the papers printed about MMR all those years ago
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMR_vaccine_controversy
prior to submitting his paper to The Lancet, Wakefield had received £55,000 from Legal Aid Board solicitors seeking evidence to use against vaccine manufacturers, that several of the parents quoted as saying that MMR had damaged their children were also litigants, and that Wakefield did not inform colleagues or medical authorities of the conflict of interest
