You might have heard recently that Measles, after being eradicated in the US 14 years ago, [url=http://gizmodo.com/measles-are-back-in-new-york-city-thanks-to-anti-vax-ab-1543787681]has returned with cases reported in New York, San Diego, Boston, and Vancouver as well[/url]. Given that the efforts of anti-vaccination groups seem to be unfortunately paying off, do you think there should be an added incentive for parents to vaccinate their children? Specifically, if a child is not vaccinated, the parent or guardian should receive fewer, or be less-eligible for, state-sponsored benefits and services, such as welfare payments, schooling (such as exclusion from enrolment), child care, etc... with the exception of medical, and only medical, reasons.

Actually, I think I would also be inclined against taking a vaccine for any particular disease if I was, essentially, being forced against my will to take a vaccine. And before I say anything further, could someone be so kind as to explain to my why anyone would be against giving people vaccines for any particular disease, in a peaceful and un-biased manner, please?
