It seems the liberal media is pushing forth the idea that forced vaccinations are good for you

do you believe the state should be allowed to make it mandatory for your children to have vaccinations if they are to attend school or is that a violation of your freedoms as parents?

Slippery slope, first you force vaccination on someone next thing you tell them they have to have a tracking chip in their body. Obviously vaccines are good but people should not be forced to do anything by the government (besides taxes and abide by the law).

Forced vaccinations for children attending public school? Absolutely.

Answer the questions without the caveat. Obviously if you use a public service school, hospital etc. you should be mandated but you can't say in a blanket statement that all people should be forced to do this.

I'm torn on this. At what point does the action of not getting vaccinated impact other childrens' lives? I know right now, at least in California, you have to have certain immunizations in order to attend public school. It's not a ton, but it's some.

On one hand, it's forcing you to put chemicals in your body to accept what should be a universal service. On the other hand, it's protecting all the other people from your shitty diseases.

Where does the right to swing one's arms end in this case?

Yes. It's a public safety issue if people aren't. There is also no science behind vaccinations behind unsafe.

I don't advocate forced vaccinations for every citizen, but I'm open to the idea if it were serious enough of an epidemic.

What if i change the scenario if i live in Alaska in a cabin don't attend school or hospitals and for that matter don't have much interaction with others should i be forced to do this? Or if i have a compromised immune system should i be forced to do this?
