Forcing people to have vaccinations? I suppose already children don't have the choice, it's made by their parents . . . and now we think it's a good idea to force the parents . . .
I suppose I can understand the superficial attraction of this as an idea but I really don't agree with it. People are already being led down the path of losing respect for doctors and doubting the motives of people involved in healthcare (led by some pretty unsubtle establishment propaganda) and this would just accelerate the process.
If you want to be a doctor sat in front of an adult who doesn't want you sticking needles in their small child but being forced to let you because of some law . . . well, if you can imagine that situation and not feel like you're in the wrong profession then you're in the wrong profession . . .

For the record I'm a big fan of vaccination. I'm also a big fan of cricket, but everyone who might visit my surgery won't have to be.
