[QUOTE="pandora404, post: 649033, member: 18282"] This is the view for Australia. Well my view. Only parents in the developed world have the luxury of declining vaccinations. If those anti-vax parents suddenly had to relocate to some country where those diseases were prevalent, believe me they’d be the ones first in line clamouring for their kiddies to get injected. In 2009 in Australia a four-week old baby, Dana McCaffery, died of whooping cough on the NSW north coast. This place is a sort of hippy area—these days quite a rich hippy area—where many enjoy an alternative lifestyle. Following the completely unnecessary tragedy of this young baby’s death, her parents led a campaign to raise awareness of the importance of vaccination. Sadly the parents later complained they were “vilified” in their community “by anti-vaccination bullies”. Even sadder was that the mother claimed that the stress of being a target of so much hate caused her to miscarry multiple pregnancies. Since 2013 we have had the so-called “no jab, no play” rule which only means childcare centres in this state can choose to exclude unvaccinated children. I’m pretty sure they can still attend public schools. Possibly counterintuitively, or not, it is the richest areas of our state that have the greatest numbers of unvaccinated children (or maybe they have the greatest number of selfish parents who don’t like “being told”). What confuses me is that I saw a documentary on TV that showed how autism which developed in previously normally developing children appeared to have originated from the strong antibiotics taken by the children killing the good bacteria in the gut. (Everybody! Drink that Yakult now!) I got the impression that this connection between late-onset autism and gut bacteria was widely understood. [/QUOTE]
