    Default Can parents lose custody of children if they don't get the COVID-19 vaccine?

    Attorneys agree that if a child is immunocompromised, a judge may order a parent to get vaccinated if the issue is presented at court

    Backdrop to this story is the woman who lost custody rights in Chicago. The judge reversed his decision after the heat was turned up on his original ruling. However :

    Fox News spoke to several family law attorneys who agree that if a child is immunocompromised, a judge presiding over a custody battle may order a parent to get vaccinated if the issue is properly presented at court.
    Joryn Jenkins, a family lawyer in private practice at Open Palm Law in Florida, pointed to three reasons a judge may require parents to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in divorce court: first, a parent would have to properly bring the issue before the court; second, the child may have pre-existing conditions that would put him or her at risk of getting a severe COVID-19 infection if living with unvaccinated parents; third, the court acts in the best interest of the child, and if requiring parents to get vaccinated is in the child's best interest, a judge may order parents to get the shot.
    Obviously still can be an issue if presented correctly.

    I'm not sure how this could stand
    Since it's now be shown that vaccinated people can and do still spread the virus.

    Study: Vaccinated people can carry as much virus as others
    https://apnews.com/article/science-h...5ca012b5ef84d1
    "...The findings have the potential to upend past thinking about how the disease is spread. Previously, vaccinated people who got infected were thought to have low levels of virus and to be unlikely to pass it to others. But the new data shows that is not the case with the delta variant.
    The outbreak in Provincetown — a seaside tourist spot on Cape Cod in the county with Massachusetts’ highest vaccination rate — has so far included more than 900 cases. About three-quarters of them were people who were fully vaccinated...."
