Vaccination – A Mandatory Requirement for School Entry?

It appears that a Labour MP has suggested forcing all children to be vaccinated otherwise they cannot attend school and parents will not receive child benefits. I find this crazy, we have all heard about the profound positive effect they have on curbing the out-break of diseases; but similiarly the side effects of vaccines can cause.

I have desparately tried to put forth both sides of the agrument, however, I found that many of the “Pros” I wrote – I just didn’t believe!

  

 PROS

 

• Prevention is better than cure, and a vaccine is the best way to prevent an outbreak of a disease or to reduce its negative effects
• Compulsory vaccination has eradicated or greatly reduced the impact of some of the world’s most devastating diseases, such as small pox, polio, measles
• Compulsory vaccination leads to a better health situation nationally state?
• The state has a right to impose compulsory vaccination. If an age group is protected, that results in a better health conditions for the whole society.
• Productivity rates remain high and less money is earmarked for social and health transfers because people are healthier?

 

CONS

 

• Many vaccines have significant adverse effects.
• Some vaccines include toxic materials such as chemicals including mercury, formaldehyde, aluminium, and a variety of other known toxic materials.
• Vaccines might be capable of causing recurrent infections in children because they weaken the immune system.
• Through different techniques the figures on the efficiency of vaccines are kept artificially high.
• Evidence suggests that the dramatic rise in ear infections, allergies, and asthma in children can be attributed (at least in part) to the damaging effects of vaccines.
• By making vaccination compulsory, people’s freedom to choose is curtailed and that is an infringement on human rights.
• Researches show that alternative approaches towards diseases such as better nutrition, homeopathy, etc. give very positive results.

 

To Conclude:

 

I really don’t think taking away the freedom to choose is the right move – particularly as there not enough known about the negative effects (positively described as side-effects!). It is a good topic for discussion, so comments gladly welcome!
