If your child is not vaccinated, they should be barred from attending public school

[Papewaio]

Please do explain the fallacy.

It is either people have the right to be as stupid as they like or the government has the right to tell you what to do with your body.

Sometimes is something that never works.

The right of society to exclude you for that stupidity is valid. Your choice. But the right to compel you to put or not put substances into your body is far more intrusive.

There is a difference between choosing self harm and harming others.

Not vaccinating is in the same vein as shouting fire in a theatre. It's action can cause harm and death to innocents around you.

Young children cannot get vaccinated against whooping cough. Adults can. But if an unvaccinated adult gets whooping cough they can infect the child. Whilst in an adult whooping cough is annoying and nasty, in a child it can cause death.

So this is about other people choosing detrimental outcomes to you. It is about other people impacting on the health and safety of others.

Unvaccinated people are no different to people screaming fire in a theatre, or speeding vastly above the speed limit, or doing other dangerous activities that impact more then just themselves. In most instances these activities if done result in custodial sentences. Not immunizing is treated pretty lightly considering the harm it does to society.
