TikTok of anti-vaxx father offering bribe to avoid jab highlights teens’ battle against parents...

As more Covid vaccines become available to Americans aged 12 up, another obstacle remains for the teens to get vaccinated: their parents.

According to a poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation, 19 per cent of US parents with children aged 17 or younger said they would “definitely not get them vaccinated” for Covid-19. But the teens don’t always agree, which can lead to conflicts within families.

“It’s not by definition a vaccine,” one frantic Kentucky dad can be heard telling his daughter in a TikTok video that went viral this week. “It is a human trial. It is genetic therapy… It’s not FDA-approved.”
