I think vaccines should be mandatory for all children. If you don't vaccine your kid, CPS should take the kid away after multiple warnings, because you are an unfit parent and a danger to our community otherwise

They are in some places, and that is what happens unless you object on moral or religious grounds. I worked at a pediatric clinic, and on several occasions, we called CPS on parents that did not bring in their children for routine physicals and vaccinations.

Also, it's very difficult to get a child into the school system unless the child has been vaccinated.

/I moonlight as ER nurse, and I've done contract work at Chicago Children's, University of Chicago Children's, Fresno Children's and a satellite of Boston Children's.
