MARCH 8 — In the past week, news has come out that the government, initially being gung-ho in making vaccination mandatory for children in public schools, is now reversing the decision. Among the excuses being that the government does not want to infringe on parental rights as well as the right to education.
Similarly, if the belief of parents not to immunise their kids is due to wanting to go for private healthcare vaccinations compared to the ones provided in government schools, this is not a hard issue — it can simply be solved by a letter from said private healthcare institution confirming vaccination.
I was actually surprised that a medical doctor believes that non-vaccinated children should be allowed into schools and compromise the herd immunity. Everyone knows that smoking is bad for the individual health, while some who have not read the Salon article still believes that second-hand cigarette smoke will impact the health of those around smokers.
