There have been some serious measles outbreaks lately. Washington state is averaging more than one new measles case a day. Those will stop if enough people get vaccinated. As far as I know the 2016 CA law that eliminated vaccine expectations has survived court challenges.

I don’t feel like Vaccinations, religion,sexual orientation, should be forced on anyone. Don’t want a vaccination? Don’t get it. If said person gets sick then it’s on them if they don’t that’s on them too.
I pay taxes so the State can force the pricking of children with needles.
Agree. If I am forced to pay taxes towards public education, when I have chosen not to have children, then all children in our society have to be vaccinated. And if the parents don't like it, then they can just leave our country. These measles outbreaks cost us valuable time and money to treat and contain, and that's not fair to the rest of us taxpayers. FOLLOW THE RULES PEOPLE!!!

Once again IF the vaccinations work and said people get them, then they don’t have to worry they are good.

It's simply a matter of public health in a nation that can easily afford to give vaccines to its children. People may think something like measles is just a funny kid's illness where they get to be covered in red polka dots for a while. Actually measles can have a very devastating impact on those unfortunate enough to become infected with it.
I know first hand what measles can do since my Mom lost much of her hearing to a bad attack of measles when she was just 8 years-old. Needless to say, the vaccine for measles hadn't been developed way back when. If only...
My Mom would have had a vaccination had that been an option. Instead, she suffered all her life from profound loss of hearing. What is more costly to society? Don't all answer at once.
On one level it's tempting to say that people who refuse such basic preventative care deserve to be taken out of the gene pool - hasta la bye-bye, idiots. The thing is that it's not fair to place innocent children in jeopardy in order to placate nut-job parents (who probably benefited themselves from childhood vaccinations). It's also a major public health issue, so get vaccines in order to protect your own family and friends, even if you are willing to risk your own health. If you want to refuse medical treatment and go off to die somewhere, fine by me. If your refusal to get preventive care impacts me and mine however, then you need to follow the law.
For Christians that are opposed to vaccinations, I don't understand why seeing as how they did use medicines and treatments in the Bible though that was obviously not as advanced as our current vaccination technologies.
My stepson had a seizure after each vaccination. So he quit getting them.
