This is an interesting issue. I think most reasoning people would agree that the government should not be able to "do anything they want" with peoples' bodies. That's really not a point of contention. But "if" we collectively decide that people can choose not to do something as sensible as vaccination, and after their choice they can demand $800,000 of treatment to fix the error of their choice, perhaps we should also have a collective decision to allow people to face the consequences of their choice ... the kid gets palliative treatment and is allowed to die. Oh, wait, the kid is innocent. Hmmm. It's complicated.
