Opposition to COVID-19 vaccine mandates that became increasingly political during the pandemic appears to have spilled over to inoculations long required for school children in the United States, with many more adults now against them, according to a new survey.

Nearly three in 10 adults (28%) said parents should be able to decide not to vaccinate their children for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) in a recent Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) survey. That was up from 16% in a 2019 Pew Research Center poll conducted before the COVID-19 pandemic, KFF researchers said.

If a vaccine actually prevents a disease, then it's good to have a mandate. If it harms children, it should be suspect and we're find more evidence all the time that the covid vaccines are harming people (especially young males). I think because of what's happening with the covid vaccine that parents are now starting to question other vaccines. Trust the science was a mockery that opened the eyes of many to see that it depended on who said what the science was, and the conservative side was blocked by the media and social media as we're discovering in recent days.

My daughter received most of the required vaccines for school but I refused the Gardasil vaccine because there were young girls her age who died after receiving it. No thanks.

A fundamental issue with vaccination is the question of who benefits and who pays.

I don't believe that most vaccines are inherently unsafe. However the risk of injecting something into the body is non-zero, even if it is very small. If society wants the societal benefits of herd immunity I think society should also be willing to carry the can for the people who do suffer side-effects from being vaccinated. The number of people involved should be very small, which makes me wonder why society is so reluctant to accept such responsibility.

The idea that some external entity can require us to receive a medical treatment we didn't want and then wash its hands of any consequences is a disgrace.
