Having said that, I do not believe parents should ever be forced to vaccinate outside of rare diseases which cause mass death and health issues unless they are stopped in their tracks, like polio.
There will always be a small % that don't and they will usually be just fine, but only because of the vast majority who DO.
If one believes that parents should be forced to vaccinate their children in any case... then one believes that parents should be forced to vaccinate their children.

If a young girl can have an abortion without a parent's consent or even knowledge this shouldn't be too surprising.
However, I wish they would be more consistent since you still can't give a child an asprin without mom and or dad's approval.
Then the fact is... you do believe that parents should be forced to have vaccinations.
Land of the free huh?
When it effect the whole population, yes. Going back to polio, it was nearly wiped out but NOW it is starting to make a comeback because no one is vaccinated for it anymore. Small pox on the other hand WAS wiped out and probably only exists in a few hidden labs scattered around the world (and in some terrorists labs).
And again, if your one of the 1-2% who don't vaccinate your kids then you still benefit from the 98-99% who do.
How CAN it affect the whole population? Your kids (in this hypothetical scenario) were immunized. They can't catch it.
It can only affect those who were not immunized.

If it makes a rise then people will get vaccinated again. They have the vaccine and people who want it can have it. No problem.

Indeed. Is this why you want the other 1-2% forced to receive the shots against their will, beliefs and/or convictions?
Do the benefits outweigh the risks? The price of state education? Do we want epidemics of preventable diseases?
