My personal opinion about anti-Vaxxers. [View all]

I have no problem whatsoever with somebody deciding they will not vaccinate their children.

Fine, you do not have to.

The consequences of such a choice need to be severe, however.

All children who are not vaccinated due to the choices of their parents need to be quarantined in their homes. They can never leave their homes. Failure to abide by the quarantine should result in immediate removal from the homes by Child Protective Services and immediate vaccination.

The only exception to this requirement will be those children who cannot be vaccinated due to medical necessity.

If you choose to be anti-social by refusing to vaccinate your children, you MUST suffer the consequences and be forced to remain anti-social.

End of discussion.
