If all it took was some pizza to sway him, it sounds like he didn't have a particularly strong stance on the issue to begin with.

As far as the "need" to vaccinate.. even if the young are unlikely to die from it, they could still suffer long term complications (including in their lungs, which should concern someone w/ asthma...), and they can still spread it to other people. Vaccines are to protect the entire community, not just yourself.

If the mother continued to block the vaccine the kid would have been forced into virtual learning. I think most kids would prefer to go to school, under most circumstances.

You don't see most Mother's getting up in arms when their kid has to have certain vaccines shortly after birth.

I mean, I'd prefer the virtual learning. Any significantly introverted person would.
Ironically, it's usually the parents clamoring to get the kids back into school b/c the school functions as free day care for them and they want the kids out of the house. But in this case, it's the reverse...
