- NeutralCrane 2y agoI think people have become too divorced from the consequences of their actions. No one should be required to get a vaccine. But no one should be shielded from the consequences of choosing to not vaccinate their child. Children should be required to be vaccinated to attend public schooling. If someone is unvaccinated and ends up hospitalized, insurance should not cover the hospital stay. If a child dies from a disease because they were unvaccinated, the parents should be on the hook legally for negligence, the same way they might be if their child died due to other forms of parental neglect. Make the people personally feel the cost they impose on society with their stupid decisions, and fewer people will make those stupid decisions.
