In January 2014, 102 measles cases linked to an outbreak at Disneyland were reported in 14 states. The outbreak alarmed the CDC, which declared the disease eliminated in the U.S. in the year 2000. Many health officials have tied the outbreak to the rising number of unvaccinated children under the age of 12. Proponents of a mandate argue that vaccines are necessary in order to insure herd immunity against preventable diseases. Herd immunity protects people who are unable to get vaccines due to their age or health condition. Opponents of a mandate believe the government should not be able to decide which vaccines their children should receive. Some opponents also believe there is a link between vaccinations and autism and vaccinating their children will have destructive consequences on their early childhood development.
@9D3Z6K59mos9MO
No, but require them (with religious exceptions) in order to attend public school
@9CCQ8QBNational Democratic11mos11MO
No, because vaccines are bill gates’ microbots.
@99LZNH31yr1Y
Yes, but alternative vaccines should be available which respect the religious beliefs of all (specially with respect to use of materials originating from abortions) instead of prioritizing profits of pharma companies.
@9F9FXRDCDU/CSU Union7mos7MO
Yes, for vaccines that have been tested for years
Yes, but only for deadly contagious diseases, however exceptions can be provided for those whose religious beliefs contradict the vaccines but must receive a recommendation letter from a priest or other religious leader
@99CBV5B1yr1Y
Yes, but excluding those who have religious or medical things against it
Yes, as long as it is not medically hazardous or life threatening for the individual.
Yes, but with exceptions for childre who are inmunocompromised or otherwise medically unable to get vaccinated
@97QFW5M1yr1Y
Yes, but with exceptions to those who cannot receive vaccines due to religion or health reasons.
@9625NKJ2yrs2Y
Yes, but provide more education on these vaccines and if possible test children for allergies before vaccination
@95XVJQD2yrs2Y
Yes, if the vaccines have been thoroughly tested for years to fully assess their safety
Yes, except if the child has a disease which would be effected by the vaccine
@8LSW2WV3yrs3Y
@8CM6DHC4yrs4Y
No, it is a waste of resources
I don't have a enough information or really anything to make an informed decision on this
@93ZP8QG2yrs2Y
No, but there should be federal regulations requiring certain vaccinations in order to attend a public school in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
@8PNDVD72yrs2Y
No, that should be the parent or guardian's choice, not the government
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
No, there are too many loopholes and legitimate reasons for people to not be able to have vaccines to institute a mandate.
@93HNT692yrs2Y
Yes, but it depends on the disease and how much research is done on the vaccine.
@2JP7NHD2yrs2Y
Yes, and there should be no exemptions unless there are allergic reactions.
@8NVXWB22yrs2Y
Yes, and set a fine for noncompliance
@9334YP32yrs2Y
No, and the government should ban the use of experimental vaccines, unproven vaccines, vaccines developed using fetal cell lines and vaccines containing any genetic material (DNA/RNA).
@dylanziehme2yrs2Y
No, everyone should have bodily autonomy. However, children who desire vaccination should be given it regardless of parental consent when the provider deems them competent to consent. Parents should be held criminally liable for child neglect if the child dies of preventable disease and full vaccination should continue to be required for all public schools and universities.
@92RSHM92yrs2Y
No and Yes, only the parent should let there child have an vax, but only if the disease is deadly, no government should mandate anything on the people
@92MKPWZ2yrs2Y
People choices what they want to do in their life.
@8ZK5HYT2yrs2Y
No, and allow parents to sue vaccine manufacturers in the case of vaccine injury to the child
@92JTPJR2yrs2Y
No, but require vaccination for public schools for known vaccinations.(like polio, not Covid vaccine)
@929DQCT2yrs2Y
No because it's like drugging someone without anything happening to someone. Even there is nothing wrong with the with children, they shouldn't have to be force to get vaccinated.
@929CSFC2yrs2Y
Leave the decision up to the parents
@9278YQJ2yrs2Y
Everyone should have a choice on what goes into their body so they should be able to choose unless it's a deadly and contagious disease.
@925VCZK2yrs2Y
I mean it's your choice i guess...
@923MMVM2yrs2Y
No , they shouldn’t require any shots other then the ones they have now or unless the ones have been fully tested threw
@9229SCK2yrs2Y
It should not be mandated but highly recommended for the well being of children.
@8ZYQ3FR2yrs2Y
They shouldn't be required and it should be up to what the parent thinks is best for their children.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, but provide tax incentives for getting vaccinated
@8ZQGT5Z2yrs2Y
for some, you should have a choice
@5BMX4XT2yrs2Y
Yes but only for the 13 deadly contagious diseases as identified by US Dept of Health
@8ZM2XXL2yrs2Y
No, but parents should be advised to do so, considering the nature of preventable diseases.
@8ZMLD8W2yrs2Y
there a lots of variables that can come into play. Can't just pick one answer
@8ZLD3KV2yrs2Y
No, but there should be limited access to things like public areas, in order to prevent the transferring of deadly diseases.
@rightandbased2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for diseases with very exceptionally high mortality and hospitalization rates, with exemptions for those with religious objections.
@8ZH6GGB2yrs2Y
no, it is ineffective and useless
@8ZH59GG2yrs2Y
No, it's up to the parents to decide what's right for there children.
@8ZGPKM92yrs2Y
no because it should be there parents or there choice (depending if there a minor or not)
@8ZGPKLQ2yrs2Y
yes if the do not follow the rules but if they are following the rules and not harming other people i do not think it should matter, if their vaccinated or not.
@8Z7PTXF2yrs2Y
Yes, and we always have
@RickStewart2yrs2Y
No government has the right to forcibly inject foreign substances into any person's body.
@8Z6JFZ42yrs2Y
10 and up I think can get vaccinated but babies or todlers should not have to get vaccinated
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, for both children and adults (with allowances for medical exemptions), at least during pandemics.
