Should any vaccines be required for children?

I have heard more and more of this lately. I personally think it should be required. What do you think?

Definitely . The risk of not doing it are much greater.

I dont really know why a parent would like to take the risk to not give vaccines to their children (unless if that child is alergic to them).

Plus it is better for the NHS as it is cheaper to give the children vaccines than to treat an incredibly sick child who's been admitted to the ICU.

Should be compulsory for all who are able to receive them.

It sickens me that people want the state to be able to forcibly stick needles in children. It is an anti-freedom and anti-British perspective. Parents should get to decide whether their children get vaccines.

Trump, the greatest doctor ever to live, disagrees

God, you’re hilarious, you know?

Aren’t you the same chap who thinks Sadiq Khan can’t be mayor because he’s “not British” and isn’t a Christian?


I guess letting people without medical education decide that they’re fine with their kids dying of preventable disease is just SUCH an important British value!!

Oh no, if you “stick needles in children” it makes them cry a bit? Well, I suppose dead kids don’t cry, so maybe that’s your logic?

You can reply to me as much as you want, by the way, but I’m not going to reply back after this. You’re not worth my time.

Thank you for your incoherent and angry response. You may wish to familiarise yourself with medical ethics. You won't find may doctors supporting forcible medication as the norm.

I'm calling bs on that. Care to provide any evidence for your claim?

Since you appear to have misunderstood, I’m obliged to reply once more:

I fully understand the ethics, thank you very much. It doesn’t mean I don’t vehemently disagree with anti-vaccine rhetoric. I KNOW vaccines will not become compulsory and I KNOW why, doesn’t mean I have to like it. There’s also more depth to the ethics than simple autonomy; those that refuse vaccines for no good reason endanger others. This must be considered.
