(Obviously anybody who truly cannot get vaccines for doctor-verified health reasons would be exempt)

Before anyone suggests it, assume that welfare won't be entirely eliminated from everyone (realistically it won't).

But in Australia, families who don't vaccinate don't get welfare benefits. Miraculously, there was a surge of families who apparently decided that vaccines don't cause autism after all!

Would the same thing be effective in the US? Or alternatively, not allowing them to use the child tax credit.

In a perfect world, there would be non-government strategies to deal with this, but we live in a government world (and that won't change anytime soon), so non-government solutions wouldn't likely work.

I don't agree with the thought that welfare recipients all have to get vaccines.

Why not? They're taking from the public, the least they can do is ensure that they won't spread illnesses to the public...or get sick themselves and cost even more tax dollars to treat.

So you are anti religion. You would stop them for people who have a religious belief against vaccines.

A better way to handle it would be, offer vaccines to everyone, and those that refuse for whatever reason, would have to pay for all their medical care should they become ill, because they failed to get vaccinated.

The established religions in the US do not prohibit vaccination. "It's against my religion" is most often a proxy for "I do not want to vaccinate because vaccine cause autism".

If by vaccine, you meant birth control, then sure!
