If we're going to allow people to infect others, we may as well allow people to drive at any speed they want. Public safety. Big concern. Why is this being politicized? I didn't know Jenny McCarthy had such political clout.
I am very much against forced vaccinations. People should ultimately be able to decide if they wish to get some, all or no vaccines. It is not the government's place to force vaccinations, or any other medical interventions on people against their will.
Government (taxpayers) should not cover treatment of illnesses caused by parents' choice to not vaccinate their children.
I agree with Vvega. I would also add that if people opt out, schools can also choose not to admit their unvaccinated kids.
I am very pro-vaccination but also pro-freedom. Andrew Wakefield (and his buddy Jenny McCarthy ) were completely discredited. But I don't think that government should be able to force anyone to put any substance into their body. However, if you want your kid to attend government/taxpayer funded schools, the government should have the right to bar your kid from the school. Colleges, public and private, should be able to require vaccinations of anyone choosing to live in the dorms. Day care centers should be able to require vaccinations, or not admit an unvaccinated kid. Employers, especially in healthcare, should be able to require it of employees.
I'd rather see the government somehow "incentivize" vaccinating rather than mandating it.

What about Tetanus? With Tetanus you can take the shot after you're at risk. i.e. You step on a rusty nail, you can go to the doctor and have a Tetanus shot at that time. There's no actual need to take it as a preventative measure but most do anyhow. Should we ban kids from school for not having a Tetanus shot?

Of course not. Just for contagious diseases. And before you ask, same goes for HPV. No one's going to pass it around in a school setting.
