        How are unvaccinated children allowed to attend daycare, or school? Isn't that encouragement enough? They simply can't function in regular society.

        Physicians need to tactfully but more emphatically educate parents about the importance and safety of approved vaccinations!

        Only time I ever actively&loudly judged a mum. When they told me they didn’t plan to complete babies vax schedule because baby had cried, needed paracetamol after 1st time & husband didn’t agree with vax. “Tetanus lives in the soil! Will u never play outside?” She completed them

        It is sad that despite the proven benefits of vaccine, family choose not to vaccinate their kids exposing the whole community to bigger outbreaks of infectious diseases

        You’re dreaming if you think it’s only 100,000. It doesn’t matter what the data say. It’s an underestimation. A gross one.

        Sadly it's healthcare and gov's fault! Emphasize the non-negotiable vax instead of lumping them all together as every single one is necessary from day one on, and you will see a difference in the # of vax!!

        Children need the shots as recommended. See Dr Dunning-Kruger effect. Ignorance regarding health issues can be fatal to you, your children and society at large.

        Still validating the point that it's senseless to push vax on a newborn.

        Unbelievable how even intelligent people are anti vax for babies. Marin County leads the way for no vax. Very wealthy and ultra liberal.
