More than 140,000 families cut off from childcare payments for not vaccinating their kids

Good for Australia.

You want govt money - you stick to the requirements. Totally new concept.

That just cost them up to $2,141,895,000, not including the cost of the shots and medical staff which is most likely a lot more money If their health care cost are out of control like the US.

I wonder why parents refuse to vaccinate their kids even after government support. Or should I say they don't know the importance of vaccination.

pwn3d .

Why is the Aus government picking on one particular group of people? Surely that must be constitutionally wrong, but the way most western governments are eroding people liberties they don't give a damn about people just peoples money which governments think they own anyway.
Anyway just having a rant hardly WF stuff.

These appear to be parents who do not really care about taking proper care of their kids.

Quite simple - there are vaccinations which protect children from diseases....if parents don't vaccinate THEIR children - they endanger other people if their children go to day care or school.

Pretty simple, really. Often your "rights" end where the "rights" of others begin.

It is really sad thing......child care is very important.....

I can't even express how sick and tired I am of reading political jabs in posts - just for the joy of getting a jab in.

In the US, the schools require vaccinations BUT the states decide whether religious and 'philosophical' objections are allowed or not.

In Australia - NO objections are acceptable.

That's right, punish the unvaccinated children even further!!

So, one thing I am trying to establish, Are kids who have been though all these childhood diseases capable of infecting others after the virus has left there bodies. And does it matter anyway because the majority have been vaccinated and won't get it, provided they have their boosters every 10 to 20 years.

Also, let's say that they don't pass it on, once having had them and clear of them all, they would be of no risk to anyone else and never require vaccinations or boosters. Should not the government resume the child benefits in that case?

Just for the record, none of these illnesses talked about are curable, only preventable with vaccinations. There is nothing to give a child or adult to make it go away more quickly if you have it, only pain maskers to make you more comfortable. The disease runs it's course, usually about a week, like the flu, I know having had them all as a child.

A lot of the vaccinations are not just for common illnesses that last a week.

This is the vaccination schedule for kids in Australia --->

Just last week in here in Brisbane there have been about 56 cases of the both Mumps & Measles and they were about to show a television ad for the Anti Vaxers but got pulled due to the inaccuracies and total bullshit they were saying

Yep, l had the German measles, not pretty and it lasted for about a week and a half.

I guess that the gov, want to push this, to stop one person from getting it, spreading it to others and some kid does of it, (if that is possible)?

Although ironically a few die or almost die of these vaccinations, but they tend to think that thousands being saved from whopping cough, and one dying from a vaccination for it justifies this action?

Hard to say, but if the dose contained a lot of mercury, then l tend to stay on the ones who didn't vaccinate.

Injecting a child with that s***t opens the door to further illnesses, so l would like to know if that is included in the AU one?


But, yeah, mass media, considering their track record, no wonder the trust factor is low.

Ahhh the vaxxer debate..

Measles, also known as rubeola, is a highly infectious disease. It's caused by a virus, and can be prevented by effective vaccination. The adult form is more severe than when children acquire it, and the infected adults would end up feeling way worse.
Most people get better within 2 weeks. But measles can sometimes cause dangerous problems, such as lung infection (pneumonia) or brain swelling (encephalitis). In rare cases, it can even cause seizures or meningitis.
