To Vaccinate or Not

[Shemaya]

I heard about the proposed change in Australian laws indolering.

basically the Abbott government (perhaps a worthy name?) is taking financially punitive measures to enforce vaccination, rather than leaving it up as a choice.

That kind of strong arming is subtle and manipulative.  There is a choice, but a negative financial impact on families, which is incentive enough for many people to go along with the program.

In the past, ( 19th century) people were imprisoned for not getting vaccinated, believe it or not.  I really question a " pro - vaxx" stance when enforcement like this is proposed. I feel strongly that freedom of choice needs to be preserved.
