Loving greetings, Cosmoethicism!
I thank you humbly for your kind words. I have the simple hope of being of service in some way to one who would find something useful in my offerings. I realize that this is not the Strictly Law of One forum, so I hope no one takes my words as anything more than an opportunity to view the subject matter from a different angle. Every thought, no matter how seemingly trivial, is still an important part of the One Infinite Creator.
I will attempt to address your question. If one does not know that there is a choice they can make, is there really a choice? Once the proverbial 'fruit' is eaten, however, and there is known to be another option, even staying the same road is a conscious choice.
Regardless of the actual effect a vaccine will have on a particular person, whether that is positive or negative, and also of which path the individual chooses, I would suggest that what really matters is the reason WHY they made that particular choice. Does the parent vaccinate/not vaccinate their child out of loving concern for their wellbeing? Or do they take the path of least resistance, knowing that the other option exists? Would this be a form of self-service, putting one's own convenience foremost in the decision making process? Does one obtain a flu shot because they love their body and want to do what is best for it, or do they have no trust or faith in it to do what it was designed to?
There is one final question I would present for your voluntary consideration: Is submission to the enslaving ways of our beloved brothers and sisters not a choice as well? One can always make a stand for their beliefs; the only thing that stands in the way is their own fear of the consequence.
(P.S. Many states have vaccine exemption forms for school children, and there are doctors who will not push them as well)
I must apologize for not refreshing this thread before I posted. I did not intend to leave you out, Aaron. I would like to greet you as well and I am thankful for being able to share perspective with you on this subject
