Thank god, refuse to vaccinate all you want but in public schools around other people's children it should be a requirement. Hell, I don't think the parents should get to keep their kids if they don't vaccinate but that is another matter.
If vaccines work as they are suppose to wouldn't a few unvaccinated kids not make a difference? I mean, isn't that the whole point of vaccines in the first place? Get the herd immunity high enough that the outliers don't matter?
One run of polio or some such does tend to weed out the stupid parents rather quickly. Heartless? Well, yes. About as heartless setting your child up for a preventable death.
No, they should not be given a choice. A paralysis as a result of a vaccine is exceptionally rare; so much so that there are less than a handful of cases. You know what else causes loss of motor function? Polio and when people wanted an exemption from that vaccine they were told to roll up their sleeve and shut the fuck up.
No, no, no. I believe that you should be told take the needle, as you so eloquently put it, or be sent to colony - lets go with africa - and left there to fend for yourself.

Herd immunity does not work when you have schools with only 50% vaccination rates in suburbia.

To be fair I am for that if they die away from me.

So this kid having been paralyzed doesn't bother you? They shouldn't have even been given a choice?

So you support the government pointing a gun at everyone and saying take the needle or else. Cool, that's all I need to know
