I agree with Arista, and it's not often I get to say that.

Do you have an article on this Arista? As I can't find one anywhere.
Personally I'm pro-vax but 100% against government mandated medical procedures. That's never going to change, I'm afraid. It's also a debate that gives me a massive headache because the "facts" quoted by militant anti-vaxxer AND by militant pro-vaxxers are all utter ****ing nonsense. Rational debate on this went out of the window a LONG time ago. One side has kids dying instantly of brain swelling on being vaccinated - the other is screeching that everyone is going to die of chicken pox and insisting that childhood survival rates in the modern world are mainly down to vaccination. Hint: they are not, they are thanks to sanitation, antibiotics, hospital care and modern fever reduction and rehydration methods. This is well established statistical fact. But if you try mentioning that in a pro vax debate several people will unfailingly lose their heads and start bawling that we're all going to die of rubella, and that vaccines are 100% safe, which that are not. Go and get vaccine box and read the little leaflet inside. I'm annoyed just thinking about it right now Facts: - Vaccines carry risks - The effectiveness of vaccination is over-emphasised in terms of mortality reduction - However, vaccine-preventable illnesses have a HIGHER RATE of risks of largely the same things as you'd get as a vaccine side-effect - So vaccines ARE still a good idea if you understand anything about statistical risk. It's safer to have them than to not have them (by a long way) - ...I'll still never advocate government-mandated medical procedures. Ever. Of any kind. |

Life is full of risks. It's a balance of probabilities Supporting the tory minister on this |

Just like if you need an operation, getting it is the right choice. I'd be pretty ****ing worried if doctors could just knock you out and put you under the knife without consent. Like I said, no one is ever going to convince me that taking away the right to bodily autonomy is a good idea, for any reason. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 27-09-2019 at 04:11 PM. |

I would not agree with vaccinations being forced on children tbh. Imagine you were made to do it and you were one of the unlucky few and the child had a bad reaction..just..doesn't seem right at all. Not sure how I feel about banning unvaccinated kids from school either. What are the options? Given a child HAS to have an education legally? Would it be forcing parents to homeschool..something the huge majority of parents probably couldn't do anyway? IDK really..

But that doesn't really matter because, like I said, I'm against removal of choice and bodily autonomy for any reason. We should encourage vaccination, emphatically, and always, the facts and figures back that up 100%. We should never be tempted to force it because it is a medical procedure, and sets a precedent for other government-mandated medical procedures. Given the state of the world / various governments right now, I have no idea why that prospect wouldn't horrify anyone. |

it's a stupid law if it comes in. If any unvaccinated kid goes to school there is a danger they get a disease, but there is a danger they would get it anywhere. They don't put vaccinated kids at risk, so, i just don't see the logic behind it.
Also, the way to keep your kid out of school will be to not vaccinate them, which creates another issue. It's just not thought through Last edited by bitontheslide; 27-09-2019 at 05:10 PM. |

The efforts should be (and always should have been) in honest, open education around the subject and explaining the benefits of vaccination truthfully. Instead the focus is on vilification, scare stories (ur kids will def die!!) and threats (u can't send ur kids 2 school!!) which frankly is just never going to work. |

Its not a choice at all if the option is they have to be homeschooled. As I said, so many parents simply could NOT homeschool. It is not as easy as many think it is. And thats before even getting into if the parent works and such..So thats obviously removing their choice entirely.

Really it's just all yet another great example of the extremism/tribalism we see absolutely everywhere these days.
The anti-vaxxer position is that the risk of vaccines is HUGE and thus, the risks associated with not vaccinating are worth taking. The militant pro-vaxxer retort position is that the risks from vaccine preventable illness are HUGE or even semi-tongue-in-cheek(?) CERTAIN DEATH!!!... and that the risk with vaccination is ZERO. ALL nonsense. The truth is that the personal risk from the common illnesses we vaccinate against - even if you catch one - is very, very small. While the risk from vaccination exists but is statistically miniscule. Thus, vaccination is the rational, sensible choice. I wish we'd spend more time explaining that, and less screeching about imagined threats and over the top fears. |

I'm with TS on this....the thought that the government are dictating is a worry to me. My son is vaccinated, I wasn't until I was much older as my brother had convulsions after his immunisations and they refused to do me.
I know a lot.of people who opted for the private separate jabs but the thought didn't enter my head with my boy, I felt the benefits far out weighed the risks. Education has to be the key with this and the anti vax rhetoric has to be shown for the rubbish it is

I hope it goes through, pro-disease people and their offspring should not be allowed around places in which their lack of immunity is a danger to others.
The whole movement is based on nothing but stupidity and narcissism. |
