Should the government require children to be vaccinated for preventable diseases?
No, but require vaccination in order to attend public school
The data is clear that vaccines are an effective measure to guard against communicable diseases and side effects are very rare. While I generally support people's rights to make decisions for themselves, communicable diseases are a more nuanced case, as the choice not to vaccinate increases the risk to the others around you. Others have the right to attend public spaces like school in a way where they can be confident that those around them are doing what they can to prevent bringing deadly diseases into the mix.
