Parents who refuse to vaccinate their children should lose custody of them.
"No jab no pay" is better than doing nothing, but it's scary that we have allowed vaccine paranoia to fester. We have exposed large numbers of children to mortal danger under the cloak of "tolerance" and "free speech."
Religious exemptions are defensible for small groups that stick to themselves and don't send their children to public schools, but anything else is a deadly surrender to crackpots. It's time for our sufferance of this insidious neurosis to end.
Agree.
I think that if you're an anti-vaxxer, having children in the first place is selfish, immoral, and irresponsible. Not to say they should be prevented from having children, but it really reflects on their entitled mindset that they do.
Basically what the anti-vax movement boils down to is a sort of eugenicist "I'd rather have a dead child than one with a learning disability" which is sickening and horrifying. I don't see how they can possibly claim to love their children.
If I have a child starting kindergarten in 10 years I'm going to be afraid to send it to a public school because of these idiots. I think at the very least, unvaccinated children should be prohibited from attending public schools, and as to what one poster was saying, I also agree if you're going to play the government's game and get welfare and child care benefits, you should have to abide by their rules, which should include getting your child vaccinated.
If someone's going to have an unvaccinated child, they better at least keep it the hell away from my child, and I don't think they should be using my tax dollars to spread disease either.
