Should Schools Require That Children Be Vaccinated?

Should Schools Require That Children Be Vaccinated?

Hepatitis, Diphtheria, Rubella...Each year millions of children are vaccinated in order to prevent potentially fatal illnesses like these. But should schools be able to mandate vaccines? Some parents see them as vital lifesavers, but others fear serious or perhaps even debilitating risks. How much authority should schools have in determining your child’s health?

    DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE. GET INFORMED.

    I AGREE COMPLETELY WITH THIS VIEW. THERE IS ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST THAT MOST VACCINES ARE NOT ONLY UNNECESSARY, BUT EVEN HARMFUL. IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT PEOPLE BECAME MORE INTERESTED AND AWARE OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD. UNFORTUNATELY, OUR GOVERNMENTS DO NOT ALWAYS HAVE THE PEOPLE'S BEST INTEREST AT HEART AND SELL US TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER: IN THIS CASE THE PHARMACEUTICAL CONCERNS. AUSTRALIA SHOULD STOP BEING A FOLLOWER AND START BEING A LEADER. WE HAVE THE RESOURCES TO BE LEADERS IN EVERY ASPECT, NOT ONLY IN SPORT, WHICH WE ALREADY ARE, BUT ALSO IN THE NATURAL SCIENCES AND CULTURE. AT THE MOMENT OUR PROUD "AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE" SOUNDS MORE AND MORE LIKE "AUSSIE, AUSSIE, USA". DO NOT BE BLINDED BY THE MASS MEDIA, ASK QUESTIONS! PLEASE!
