In short, yeh - vaccination "hurts" your child because of the needle and very rarely some temporary side effects. As a result they don't die from preventable diseases, and can't act as a carrier for other children and mothers.

It's important to remember that with vaccines, not everyone is able to get them, and they aren't effective in 100% of cases - as a result, as far as I'm concerned people have a societal duty to have their children vaccinated if they are able.

If I had my way, the freedom not to have your child vaccinated would be taken away - it's just that important.

Oh she is vaccinated, its just hard is all. The very first time I burst into tears lol. I'm not as bad as Hatter he won't even come into the room cos he will hit the nurse so I'm to always be the big meanie I think the next ones are the worse 6 months I think its 3 needles

Wow, Germany. Although it's mostly symbolic and not really enforceable... yet.

I suspect we'll see more of this as time goes by, too - or possibly the incidence of infant circumcision will just subside by itself.

(I've changed my stance on this issue btw - not because I think it's significantly worse than I did before, but because it's clearly unnecessary surgery and the supposed health and religious ritual reasons for it don't outweigh the right of the child to decide for themselves. It's a permanent procedure.)
