Anti-vax parents shouldn’t get benefits
From our UK edition
Like all parents, I find the prospect and experience of my child getting sick very unpleasant. Well, I say like all parents, but the fact that childhood vaccination rates in England are falling, including for very serious diseases, suggests otherwise. And it’s time that we do something about it. Why should people who haven’t protected their children against dangerous diseases receive government subsidies to put them into nurseries where they might make other children seriously ill? Parents who do not vaccinate their children are concentrated in different areas in England rather than evenly spread out.
