right, but what Breton said made sense to me, in the sense that my own comfort/discomfort with the situation should take a back seat to being support for him in a situation where he's frightened and vulnerable. or in that case am i being manipulated by my emotions and don't see it?
I agree with Laura.
You will experience discomfort whichever choice you make. If you go, you will be doing it against your principles. If you don't, you will have his mother upset with you and maybe spread rumors or whatever. The boy is going to get the vaccine either way. If you go, there is very little good you can do for him. But if you do not go, at least someone will be standing up for what is right.
