Simply choosing not to give a vax bc you think the vax might hurt your child is completely different from not giving a child medical care when they are ill, not giving them food or water, not getting them away from a ravine, and all the other extreme examples given. Even Bob himself admitted they were definitely 2 different scenarios.*My emphasis*
Mind you, I still find it unwise to not vaccinate, but child abuse? A crime? No.
Bob himself also suggested that these two different scenarios have the same level of accountability for their results. As much as a parent could prevent their child from falling into a ravine they can (barring extreme and unlikely circumstances) just as easily prevent their child -and the immunocompromised around them- from contracting a disease that we have all but conquered thanks to vaccinations.
You're seeing vaccination as something different from needed medical care and parental duty, I'm not sure why because this is a simple thing.
