I wonder how steadfast people would be if they were brought in front of ward full of other children who contracted disease through their own unwillingness to combat it..

the thing is it's not just the state forcing people to do things, it's looking at the greater good and whether the loss of x percent more children open as vectors and indeed to fall ill themsilves justifies the means..

i wouldn't presume to know but i guess it does, to me at least. sure if you can justify yourself, with scientific reasons that a certain vaccine might be damaging etc, but people who simply refuse (of which i imagine there are a great many) shouldn't be allowed to endanger the health of others, and indeed the children themselves. in some jurisdictions, it's child abuse.
