All of these "risks" amount to nothing compared to a life. I would never for a second let those kinds of "risks" prevent me from at least trying to save a life. How is this surgeon such a shit person that they would? What kind of shit person makes a child suffer for the decisions of a parent?
There is no way to be sure that even with a vax, if father or child got Covid there wouldn't be trouble. There could very well be serious issues even with it so why on earth would you stand in the way of an attempt to save the life on the basis of a maybe? If you are a decent person, you don't. You do the best you can so you can stand to look at yourself in the mirror.
How fucked in the head do you have to be to sleep at night knowing you've used a child to pry its parent into compliance?
