Should not vaccinating your child be a criminal offence?

[Coveny]

There have been many people who are for mandatory vaccines that have no problem with opting out for religious reasons. I don't see the difference.

It just makes me think of kids who die because their parents refuse to give them medical care when they get sick, because religion. Trying to pray the illness away, while their child dies.

And in some cases VERY preventable deaths. (insulin comes to mind)

No, it's exactly the same thing.  They chose not to get their kids vaccinated, so they don't get to go to public schools.  And even so they STILL reap the benefits of public education (which I notice you ignored).  They can CHOOSE to get vaccinated, just like I can CHOOSE to drive on that road.  I can't use HOV lanes unless I have so many passengers in my car.

I didn't ignore it I responded to it. Semantically we don't agree, and just because we don't agree doesn't mean I ignored you... that's not how that works.

Let me try this analogy another way. I can use that road even if I don't buy a car, but I can't use those public schools unless I get a vaccine. The service being refused, they are choosing to use the public schools and getting told no. So NOT the same thing.
