I'm only calling for it in schools where children congregate. If you don't want to vaccinate your child, then you keep them home.
It's silly to try and say that it's an attack on individual liberty if your fellow citizens make it more difficult for you and your children to spread preventable, serious, possibly deadly illnesses because you believe in pseudoscience.
Do you have the right to spread dangerous diseases?
Does a child with the measles have the right to go to school with hundreds of other children?
And there's no [real] evidence for anthropogenic global warming,
The difference is the track record. Vaccines work. Do you deny the eradication of smallpox occurred? Do you deny that many deadly diseases have been eradicated and/or reduced because of inoculation, or do you think it's because we just wash our hands more often?
We have yet to see evidence of government regulations affecting the climate. Not so with vaccination; we've seen the results and they're a gift from God.
You say:

But how many are trying to make homeschooling illegal?
Kind of like the CA courts saying that because concealed carry is an option that the prevention of open carry is legitimate and not infringing on the right to keep and bear arms — but what happens when conceal carry is restricted?

When my brother joined the marines he was in line for the vaccinations, holding up his big red dogtag for Ceclor (same family as penicillin) and he tells the corpsman to his face about it… the corpsman gave the penicillin to him anyway and immediately he turns white, a few seconds later he passes out. When he comes to, the drill sergeant is reaming the corpsman's ass for ignoring the DOCUMENTED DRUG ALLERGY.
And you want to tell me that making vaccines absolutely mandatory (where children congregate
) is going to be a good thing?
I generally agree about the fact that we should vaccinate children as an additional precaution, however, the fact that the government gives a whining person who may have Ebola whatever they want, I don’t trust they would do much. If some Ebola who whined and got their way went and visited a nursing home and daycare center, that’s another story. And that is the real problem, all it will take is someone whining their way to go out and spread some deadly disease around. And aside from hubris, we aren’t 100 percent immune to every disease out there.
