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

[Greyblades]

It doesn't stop with immunization. If what you're arguing is that if the state has the right to control behavior whenever individual choice introduces risk on a larger scale, you've opened a really nasty can of worms.

Using the very justifications for forced immunization introduced in this thread (and mind you, my kids are immunized) shouldn't we ban alcohol and tobacco? Other people are injured by drunk drivers, and other people do get impacted by second hand smoke.

Sometimes I wonder why americans keep using the slippery slope argument in these cases considering that can of worms has been open since the patriot act. Even the liberals dont want to put the lid back on pandora's box. Seems like you might as well make the most of it.
