No. Even if it makes no logical sense, they still may have religious reasons for it, and confiscating the kids because of that would interfere with Freedom of Religion. I understand a government that isn't all-powerful is a foreign concept to this forum, but people still have their rights. Children aren't the property of muh guvment, and this very idea that they can force parents to put something in their kid's bodies is sickening.
So you're okay with a measles outbreak in America in 2015 because "Muh freedoms, I don't want no vaccinations givin' muh kids the autism."
People who are that stupid shouldn't have the right to reproduce.
This is blatantly insane. I can understand the religious exemption for vaccines. But, for cancer treatment? Insane. Sure, maybe there are cases where chemo is useless because you're too far gone. But, there are plenty of cases of cancer where radiation plus chemo = 99% chance to survive and no treatment means death. Not providing care to a child in that situation is neglect.
You don't just let parents kill their children by neglect, even if that neglect is because of the parent's sincere beliefs. Would you also allow parents to starve their children? To kill them because they think God said so? Parental rights are important sure. But, you can just let people abuse or neglect their children.
Personally, I don't think we should necessarily force parents to vaccinate. Forcing people to do anything is difficult and problematic. Maybe you can just hit parents with a fine if they refuse to vaccinate their kids.
