I'm sorry @MLL. It's robbery and theft at the deepest, most core levels, and I hate that it's happening to you. One of the most dastardly, devastating things is to see potential not realized, and that's what's happening to you and your son. It crushes me to hear your sentence "I have stopped feeding his dreams..." As a parent of two - one who's on his way to begin looking at the long term - that kills me.

One thing to keep in mind, and it's not pretty, is that it may get to the point where there aren't enough vaxxed students to field a competitive team, either through injury, unvaxxed opting out of that life, or other. At some point, these programs are going to have to weigh the cost of "hmmm, do we stick with this failed vax ideology, or do we want to win." God, do I want that to be the fulcrum of thought, the sooner the better. Might be a pipe dream.

Regardless, I'm truly sorry for that place you're in, what you and your son are being robbed of, and look forward to the day when justice is served on these roaches.
