I think I understand C_L's stance. That too strict of regulation over immunizations will infringe on parental rights. C_L Please correct me if I'm wrong.
The problem with this line of reasoning is the old maxim that your right to swing your fist ends at the tip of my nose.
Parents are afforded a lot of latitude in regards to their kids. They can teach their kids about religions, or not. Make them vegetarian, or not. They get to control what they see and hear from popular media. Hell, they can even make them like without most of the conveniences of modern technologies. Parental rights are a wonderful thing and should not lightly be infringed.
Just like your right to swing your fist, parental rights have a limit. That limit being the well being of the child. It is not your right to hold your infant in your arms in the passenger seat of a moving car. It is not your right to allow your kid to splash around in a pond in a reclaimed swamp in Florida. It is not your right to give your 6-year old a loaded Smith and Wesson and tell them to go play. In short, it is not your right to willingly and knowingly put your kid in harms way, yet this is exactly what anti-vaxers are doing.
C_L, if that's your stance, you'll never find any agreement from anyone but anti-vaxers and those unwilling to think things through.
