I'm not too sure, but it should. That is threatening the life of you, your child, and everyone else your child comes into contact with - directly or indirectly.

I think vaccinations and immunisation should be compulsory instead of a choice.
A few years ago theAustralian government altered "No Jab, No Pay" legislation which meant that, unless there was legitimate reason beyond the whole "they're evil chemicals" stuff, be it medical, religious, or otherwise, parents would not get the majority of benefits that the government gives to families with children.
Yes,but some people's children can't be vaccinated bc of allergies or something,so it's up to everyone whose child isn't allergic to vaccinate their kids so that someone else's kids don't die of preventable diseases.
Also, isn't there something about how the virus can evolve/adapt easier and can infect people who are vaccinated because the virus is resistant ?

what rwby's describing is called herd immunity because the disease/virus can't spread as easily since more individuals are resistant to i, it keeps others who can't get vaccinated or the idiots who chose not to from contracting these diseases as easily
Diyrogue may be thinking of antibiotic resistant bacteria? Bacteria can evolve resistance to antibiotics really quickly, and its become a huge problem. Most viruses​ take quite a bit of time to mutate enough for vaccines to become obsolete, some haven't mutated at all since their vaccine was created. Though there are definitely a few, as in why a flu shot is different every year.
I don't think people should be forced to participate in the PRACTICE of Medicine. It's a PRACTICE for a reason. I'm vaccinated and I will probably pick and choose what my kids will get, but it's a fucking choice. I'm so tired of people thinking they have the right to tell me what I have to do.
I know this is a touchy subject but the reason our family is against it (and I didn't get most vaccines) is that it killed one of my siblings. A lot of the new immunisations don't seem to be very well tested :/ She reacted badly to it, my mum said no more but they took her off us and gave them to her anyway. She died. It's a grey area and people need to realise that it's not all black and white. I have had 2 vaccines (life threatening things that would be dangerous to others) but not until a lot later, when I was starting school. Now I'm older and am definitely grateful that my parent's didn't give me all the vaccines. Another thing is the whole vaccines cause autism... They don't. They can cause brain damage that's similar though (I'm doing a course at the moment that covers that kind of thing). A lot of people argue "better an autistic child than a dead one" but I disagree. Everyone has their own opinion. There IS NO SOLUTION that isn't going to hurt someone.
Vaccines are highly tested, but how every individual reacts to them can't be accounted for. Your sister likely had an allergy to the vaccine, why they continued administering it is insanity, but this isn't why people hate anti-vaxxers. Many people have allergies and do not have the vaccines and that's ok, but when people choose to withhold them from their children for other reasons it's incredibly dangerous for those with allergies. It increases the chances of getting everyone without vaccines, allergic or not, sick with life threatening illnesses. Getting vaccines helps protect kids from very preventable diseases, but also helps protect kids that aren't able to have these vaccines due to their allergies. No solution is perfect, the best we can do is test for allergies towards these vaccines and get vaccines to protect ourselves and those who can't have them.

I'm with svitteh
My sister had a bad reaction to it and another child with the same reaction was on the news for it
It's not that we think it causes autism but we have hard proof it can do more than vaccinate
I'm not vaccinated and I'm told a lot of the time I'm going to die
I'm not worried, it's a choice
If you're vaccinated you have nothing to worry about
But when we get sick and survive we will pass on those antibodies to our offspring
That's not how it works. You don't pass on measles or polio antibodies, or many others for that matter. Just because you survived doesn't mean your kid will be so lucky.
No, You don't pass on antibodies to your children. Vaccination is like wearing a helmet on a motorbike. You think you don't need it, but when you get into a crash you wish you had one. The same applies to viruses. You don't want Vaccinations, but when you get Polio it's too late.
Some people are allergic to Vaccinations and react badly to them - but only because of malpractice on the giver or simply because it was not known they were allergic. That's like not getting wearing a helmet because your sister got a helmet, but it was too small and hurt her slightly.
It's not that were worried that you're going to die - not completely - but you are putting people in danger. You not get vaccinated puts the people who can't get vaccinations because of medical reasons at risk. Their life and health depends on the people's around them getting vaccinated. If you don't have a health problem that prevents you from getting vaccinated and you choose not to do so then you are putting your life and the people around you's life at risk.
Like I said, there's no solution that's not going to hurt anyone. You could say that my sister was unlucky, or that the people who can't get vaccinated are unlucky. It's all up to who it's effecting (affecting? idek) that changes your opinion. But yeah I see where everyone's coming from, which is why I have had certain vaccines (the major stuff like polio I'm guessing). I'm not sure about how it is in america but here they're forcing constant new vaccines on school kids and there are a lot of people reacting badly.
Get the tetanus shot, tetanus is a horrible way to die and some of the symptoms are difficult to pin-point. There's been cases where people step on something rusty and get a small cut and don't realize what's wrong until they are in the ER. The medical professionals can't always pin-point what's wrong, the patient likely doesn't even know what's wrong (or can't vocalize it because of their jaw locking up) because the initial wound was so minor. This happens many times with adults that don't realize the vaccine has to be administered every 10 years, one shot will not protect you for a lifetime.
