LINK Federal judge blocks DC law allowing kids to get vaccinated without parental consent | TheHill

A federal judge temporarily blocked the District of Columbia from enforcing a law that would have allowed children to get vaccinated without the knowledge of their parents, ruling the law violated parents' religious liberties.

The law in question, the Minor Consent for Vaccinations Amendment Act of 2020, allows children as young as 11 years old to be vaccinated so long as a provider deems them capable of informed consent.

(The idea of "parental consent" being needed harkens back to the idea that children are the property of the parents. I think the judge is incorrect, as children should have a say over protecting their own health.)
