To public health experts, these types of announcements and changes at the federal level are signaling a clear message. Instead of trusting your pediatrician and the science, “They’re trying to shift the focus to your rights as parents,” Wilbur Chen, an infectious disease doctor and a medical professor at University of Maryland America, told HuffPost.

“This is all in an effort of trying to break down our public trust,” Chen said.

Using parental rights arguments to justify an anti-vax agenda is more proof that right-wingers see this as a winning strategy. As conservative culture warriors continue to push to make public life more aligned with their world view, the versatility of parental rights may make it an appealing blueprint on which to base the next culture war fight.
