The state governments mandate them for public school, as does the military. There is no evidence that any of the vaccines are "questionable". If you want to believe cranks and have your kids be at risk from entirely preventable diseases, fine, that's your right. Keep them home and out of public schools and schools that mandate vaccination. Also keep them out of public places like DisneyLand.

For the record, I am vaccinating my kids.

As long as you don't support measures to shove vaccines down my children's throat through force, I'm fine with that.

We're not in a situation where the government should force the needle into anyone's arm.

However, I'm not so ignorant or immature to pretend that such extreme circumstances will never be necessary. Smallpox may have been one such circumstance, considering that it killed between 300-500 million people during the 20th century. I'm fine to leave the eradication of smallpox as a victory for mankind. Let's hope we never face a similar situation in the future.
