• The problem is if you ban the children of vaccine refusers from education you are creating an underclass of poverty and crime for the future.

    Sorry, late to the party...

    No. THE PARENTS are creating a problem for the future.

    My mate's son has severe immune deficiency from other problems to the level that a "normal" childhood illness would almost certainly land him in hospital and possibly cause his death. Why on earth should another parent's choice either put him at risk or push him out of mainstream education? It's also batshit that people who don't want them or their families vaccinated are relying on others who have been vaccinated to protect them by way of herd immunity.

    I'm all for freedom of choice. I'm not for freedom from the consequences of choices.

    Whoever creates the problem.we all get to live in that society.

    I too have a friend with a child with immune issues. She is having to restrict the activities she takes part in. She didn't go to school at all last year. It sucks, I agree. I still don't think we should restrict the life chances of children based on their misguided parents.

  • I guess I just don’t agree that we limit the life choices of some kids based on the decisions of some other kids parents. If you can find a solution that doesn’t require our friends to give their kids a much smaller life to compensate for the idiocy of someone else then I’m all ears.
