"Italian children have been told not to turn up to school unless they can prove they have been properly vaccinated.
The deadline follows months of national debate over compulsory vaccination.
Parents risk being fined up to €500 (£425; $560) if they send their unvaccinated children to school. Children under six can be turned away.
The new law came amid a surge in measles cases - but Italian officials say vaccination rates have improved since it was introduced."

Great idea. The unvaccinated kids can all go to the same school and spread their diseases freely, but they don't have a right to infect the children of non-******ed parents.

They should get vaccinated then. You should be saying poor kids because their parents aren't protecting them from disease.

Isn't the risk that these unvaccinated kids could carry diseases and infect kids who cannot accept vaccinations for medical reasons?

Perhaps the space vacated by ISIS in the Middle east can be turned over to the anti-vaxxers so they can have their own civilisation without modern medical techniques.

Some parent's don't want this done tho, so the school should recognise that.

So? They're idiots and wrong. Don't have to recognise something that's moronic, anti-science, and not based in any kind of fact.

I've not heard of people not being able to have vaccines for medical reasons? If that was the case though, they could just get a note from their doctor to say so.

No, I mean the harm in not vaccinating is in what it does to others. I.e. I was providing a justification for this rule (if what I said is correct).
You seem to think I was rejecting it and saying "the poor kids cannot get vaccinated and they're gonna be kicked out of school".

The few who choose not to vaccinate can lead to an epidemic.

We’ll see how poor they are when all the children are safe from measles, polio, tetanus, Hepatitis B and whopping cough and they actually live to graduate.

It is rather like choosing not to drink water because people have been known to have a heart attack immediately after doing so.

How tho? Those who don’t vaccinate are the only ones at risk from this disease since all the others have resistance.

No. There are always people (babies, for instance) who are as yet unvaccinated and need the herd immunity for protection, and there are a few people (ones with life-threatening allergies or cancer sufferers) who cannot use vaccine.
