Australian government stops payments for anti-vaccinators

[quote]Parents who are "conscientious objectors" to childhood vaccination will have their childcare and family tax payments stopped from 1 January next year as the federal government attempts to crack down on the anti-vaccination movement. [/quote] [url=http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/abbott-government-withdraws-childcare-payments-for-antivaccination-parents-20150412-1mj837.html]Linky.[/url] This is nice. First thing this Government has done that I've agreed with. Anyone who chooses not to vaccinate is endangering their children and while they might not care about that now, maybe they will once they start losing state benefits.

    People, if you aren't vaccinating your children, they can catch a disease that they didn't get a vaccine for and that disease can mutate into another strain of the disease in their body. They can then spread that new strain to people vaccinated against that disease except their Immune System does not have the antibodies for that new specific strain at their disposal. By not vaccinating your children, you are endangering not only your children, but other people as well. Simple logic people. I agree with what Australia is doing.
