For 300,000 of human existence except the past couple of centuries, humans did not use vaccines.

It is always a good idea to hold off on vaccines.

Not saying drinking sugary drinks is good, but your justification is bad

For 300,000 year children were'nt getting type 2 diabetes or fatty liver disease.

For 4,500 year humans have been engaging in gavage or the forced feeding of animals to fatten them up, for example the popular French dish Foie Gras - french for fat liver - is liver of duck or goose force feed corn.

If for the first time in history you concentrate the sugar found in corn and put it in beverages and regularly feed them to kids and the kids beging developing the same fatty liver as the Foie Gras...is it then ok to question the sugar?

Parent isn't rejecting the questioning of sugar.

He's pointing out how the reasoning used is spurious.

Isn't there some valid probability in stating humans should likely eat what they've adapted to over hundreds of thousands of years?

And humans have been using medicine for thousands of years, which have an intrinsic property of being good for us -- thus vaccines are just an extension of this.

I'm all for resisting fallacies but this hypertechnical idea that natural vs unnatural is completely irrelevant due to a few exceptions is counterproductive. It's practical and beneficial for the average person to view natural things as better.

This is not a good comparison. Your counter analogy is equally bad.

The parent is disagreeing with the reasoning, not the conclusion.
