Comment on ‘No no no. Avoid them all’: anti-vaccine conspiracies spread as UK cases of measles increase

The easiest way to enforce this is via schools, make it mandatory for children to be vaccinated if they want to go to school. That’ll get the holistic middle class nutters vaccinated in no time.
Only if it’s done during class unfortunately.
Here in Australia, two of my nutjob ex friends who work for the government and required to get vaccines didn’t.
Oh, and despite not getting them, they’re telling everyone about all the issues they’re causing in the rest of us (who are honestly perfectly healthy, including myself who took Astrozeneca)
That’ll get the holistic middle class nutters

It’s quite uncommon in the UK. They won’t homeschool their kids, they have jobs and careers themselves the only people who tend school kids are the lower working class who typically have a parent who doesn’t work and can therefore do it.
It’s not common for the middle class parents to homeschool their kids. Then the other classes don’t do it because although they could afford to have a teacher invariably it’s looked down on something only the poor people do.

Agreed. I live in the UK, I was a school governor. You are, however giving these middle class folk who are deep down the rabbit hole an incentive to move to home schooling - or possibly to organise into independent "home school schools".
Personally, I think compulsion is a poor way to convince people about public health measures. It may not work and is likely to lead to more conspiracy theory- we have to be smarter than that.
