If parents and doctors aren't getting in trouble for killing their kids with quack drugs, why are they getting in trouble for giving real medication when their "child" is still in the womb?

Health insurance companies shouldn't cover these people who refuse to vaccinate.
Why are these people ok with isolated vitamin supplements (which are not natural), but not ok with a vaccine? I don't understand the line they draw.
Because they are operating on propaganda, not logic.
Because opinion is more important than fact, and choice is more important than logic.
They're contrarians and conspiracists. They will go with whatever the established authorities recommend against.
RFK is so ridiculously stupid.
It's time to bring RFK to schools with measles outbreaks. Let him personally reassure people that the vaccine is a choice.
What, you're worried about catching measles? Why the fuck would you?
I guarantee that RFK has had the MMR vaccine.
Any parent taking what RFK Jr says as fact is neglecting their child.
Experts warn his messaging confuses parents and downplays the proven protection of the MMR vaccine
Oh look RFK is getting people nearly killed. Who could have seen this coming?
Maybe Sirhan Sirhan should've hit the kid rather than the father.
Oh, he's getting people killed. Again.
More importantly, look how no one is getting into trouble for endangering children.
Republicans only care about children that aren't born (i.e. aren't children) yet.
Republicans have never been 'pro-life', only pro-birth.
Pre-natal? They care so, so much!
Pre-school? You're fucked (metaphorically and, depending on the republican, possibly literally - just ask ol' Dennis)

Saw this coming a mile away. Licenses for parenting, please!
licensing for parenting
"I'm sorry, you're not white so you can't be a parent" is, historically, how that'd go.
There's still tens of thousands of people alive right now that were forcefully sterilized up until the late 70s. 10 years ago we passed laws to help the victims. We can find and talk to people who have had their "parenting license" taken away by the state.
I hate that you are right.
At least some mandatory education would be a good idea.
Who is granting these licenses and what are the criteria?
In the US right now, it seems that you may be required to reject vaccinations and to poison your children. The guy in charge of the agency eats roadkill and had a worm eating his brain (not attacks—facts out of his own mouth).
Be careful what you wish for.
Um. Think for a moment, who'd be granting these licenses?
your local christian priest of course.
I know, I know. It's not that simple. Wishful thinking.
I can! Am I qualified? Doubt it. That makes me the perfect candidate it seems.
While you're at it, also licenses for government officials please! The man is minister of health damn.
YES!
We need to make suing government employees that make decisions easier. Things like discrimination for anyone that makes determinations for program eligibility, etc.
And definitely cabinet positions when decisions clearly are in opposition to available research and lead directly to outcomes like this, where a direct correlation is not only obvious but even easily provable in court.
Blanket Immunity to cover for incompetent government employees is complete bullshit and doesn't serve the interests of the nation or it's citizens at all.
Yeah this is one of those suggestions that sounds great on the surface but will just completely break government. Every single decision will result in a lawsuit, and the only beneficiaries will be lawyers. The inability to sue the cabinet isnt the problem, it's the degenerates the American people vote in there.
There's is no electoral system system and no regulation that can save voters from themselves.
But the Alchemist in Chief guarantees it works! Did you use fresh newt or canned?
