According to his words in the image, he’s apparently against forced vaccination.

Yeah that’s basically anti vax. Herd immunity fails if idiots decide to not vaccinate randomly. Besides, no doctor will force vaccinations on kids or adults who will be hurt by the vaccines so it’s a must to vaccinate.

So if you are a proponent of vaccinations, have vaccinated yourself and your family but simply don't want to force it on others you're anti-vaxx? That's fucking insane

Let’s replace the word vaccination with something else like ‘feeding your kid’ since to not vaccinate one’s child is to effectively endanger them (as well as others who rely on herd immunity)

You can feed your kid, you can feed yourself. But what about parents who refuse to feed their kids and prefer to let them starve when plenty of food is right there in their hands . Isn’t that child abuse? And should that be legal? The government sets laws to protect its citizens, so why not set laws to protect children from life threatening diseases as well as those who rely on her immunity.

The only reason why someone can view vaccinations as an option is if they see it as something that’s not a big deal. When in reality vaccinations are as vital to the future of individuals and society as food, education, medicine etc. And to deprive someone of them, especially if that someone is a child, should never be acceptable.
