I have absolutely no fataing clue why it is not compulsory. It's like making stopping at red lights optional.

I have resisted posting in this ignorant cesspool of a thread for a long time now, but I've had enough.

My opinion: Any parent who doesn't get their child vaccinated is morally repugnant and should be held criminally responsible for any deaths from that disease in the health district (if not a wider scope). You are still free to do whatever you want with your kids, just like you are free to run a red light or murder a person. But if you get caught, you deal with the consequences.

I am all for civil liberties, but when you start infringing on my rights and the rights of my family, then we have a problem.
