Australia Imposes Penalties On Anti-Vaxxers

There is a debate over the safety of vaccinations in the United States. For much of the developed world, that comes as a surprise. Many countries, like France, impose stiff penalties on anyone who doesn't vaccinate their children.

And now Australia's government, which is conservative, has introduced a new plan called “No Jab, No Pay.” It means that if you don't vaccinate you don't get any government welfare benefits. It's a controversial plan. Almost 40,000 Australian children under seven have not been vaccinated because their parents refuse. That means a lot of families will lose their payments.

The government, however, needed to do something. In the past 10 years, the number of parents refusing to vaccinate their children has doubled. While the parents usually refuse because of fears that the vaccines are linked to the development of diseases like autism, science disagrees. And unvaccinated children are an enormous health risk, especially at schools and other places where large groups of young people gather.

In the United States, the debate is even more heated. In January, a measles outbreak erupted at Disneyland. Most of the infected kids were unvaccinated. It wasn't fun at all. Disneyland, for a brief but shocking moment, was no longer the happiest place on Earth.

The outbreak was surprising. In the 1950s about 3 to 4 million children contracted measles, a highly infectious disease that can be fatal. By 2000, measles was gone. Well, now it's back. In reaction, California has introduced a bill that would limit the number of people allowed to opt out of receiving vaccines. It's a tame reaction given the potential seriousness of the problem. But the bill has been met with strong resistance, and even public protests. The author of the bill is living under added security this is week. Other states introducing similar laws are facing similar resistance.

Perhaps the US federal government will do like Australia and intervene. Or maybe it will go even further and adopt harsher laws like France. Or maybe more of us will die of rubella and polio. Read More
