Your fundamental error is philosophical.
I'm not against medical intervention. I think vaccinations are a good thing.
I'm against government mandated familial interventions.
I think there are 1,000 other more important things the government could be doing to improve people's lives. Alarmist, breathless hand-wringing about personal medical choices or parental responsibilities isn't the only way to approach pandemics or public health issues.
The last thing we should be doing is using government resources to apply retaliation or punishment. There are plenty of reasons to inflict harm, take money away from people, and generally stifle the hell out of people with laws, and all of them get over used, and just simply spread misery. This gives people more reasons to rationalize and passive-aggressively resist anything with a government's fingerprints on it.
Meanwhile, you said it yourself: those who do get vaccinated have nothing to fear. They'll live lives untouched by disease, so it's none of their business what happens to the rest. For the vaccinated, this is already a non-problem by default.
