Italian authorities are adjusting their approach to their mandatory vaccination rules, by removing the requirement for parents to submit a medical note confirming that their children have been vaccinated. From now on they say that they are simply going to take the parents word for it on whether the children have been vaccinated or not.
It's a different approach than authorities in other regions have been taking, as many areas have sought to introduce increasingly authoritarian vaccination orders.
In Australia for example, they are getting tougher on parents who don't choose to vaccinate their children, by moving to implement financial penalties to try and get them to change their mind. Dubbed the No Jab, No Pay policy, essentially they are lowering family tax benefits on a biweekly basis as long as the child has not met their vaccination requirements.
In Italy, parents there who don't comply with vaccine rules have faced a risk of being fined up to €500. And those in favor of the mandatory vaccinations have already raised concerns about the recent changes, suggesting that this will prompt a reduction in the compliance rate with immunizations in the country. The government has defended the move, insisting that this method will simplify the enrollment procedures in state-run schools.
Germany, France, the U.S. to some extent, and other areas, have also sought to make vaccinations mandatory for children. Supporters of this mandate in other areas that don't have such policies established, have also called for heavy penalties to be set for anyone who might object to the states' vaccine requirements.
The issue with these mandatory vaccination rules is that they establish with them an exception to the principle that parents should be the ones to make the health-care decisions for their own children, or that individuals should be able to make health-care decisions for themselves. And when we make the move to allow for such exceptions, it's a slippery-slope that can bring with it a myriad of other anti-liberty mandates in the future.
These vaccination mandates can also arguably encourage vaccine companies to try and influence political legislation that will result in more business; expanding the amount of vaccine mandates that there are.
Is force the only way to deal with this issue?
“Consistent application of the principles of private property, freedom of association, and individual responsibility is the best way to address concerns that those who refuse vaccines could infect others with disease.”
“The same principles that protect the right to refuse vaccines also protect the right of individuals to refuse to associate with the unvaccinated. Private property owners have the right to forbid those who reject vaccines from entering their property. This right extends to private businesses concerned that unvaccinated individuals could pose a risk to their employees and customers.” - Dr. Ron Paul.
Immunizations are an invasive procedure and they can impact individuals differently, some have had more negative experiences than others. Rallying the government to override the natural rights of individuals, to negate their consent and demand that they submit to their vaccination schedules, doesn't promote well-being for any individual.
If individuals are forced to have a medication injected into their body that they don't want, how is it that they are free? The principles of private property and freedom of association are sufficient to enable individuals to deal with the 'vaccine problem' in a peaceful way, rather than jumping to permit one more government intrusion into the lives of the people.

While I agree with vaccinations, mandatory and enforced anything, especially health choices, are as you say a slippery slope.
It has been clear for last several years that mandatory vaccination debate goes much beyond the debate of allowing the parents to be the true caregivers of their child's need or letting the state have a say in health matters of it citizens.
The big pharma has already effected the the policies that allows subtle manipulations leading to such mandates that are enforced the state and in some cases become the grounds children being separated from their parents.
I wonder what happened to the idea of trusting human beings to take care of each other.......
@doitvoluntarily I agree that all children have to have their control with all the vaccines you have to keep a check, it's crazy that there are irresponsible parents who do not worry that their children are vaccinated
interesting article friend thanks for sharing
It seems to me very well that there are fines for parents who do not take care of their children's health and do not provide the vaccines, the children should be covered before a possible illness
Thank you very much dear friend @doitvoluntarily for sharing this information
I wish you a great day
Here in my country Venezuela the great majority of parents are aware of which vaccine is the child's turn that is a control that can not be absent, we must not force anyone, each person is responsible for the health and well-being of their child
Good Night, friend
Resulta una noticia increible que tengán que multar a los padres para que puedan vacunar a sus hijos y que la multa sea de 500€, algunos paises deberián de tomar ese ejemplo de Italia. Saludos doutvoluntarily
mainly my opinion is that every child should be vaccinated to prevent the various diseases that threaten society....they should have a concordance with parents, a mutual agreement, as they will benefit more for the welfare of their children! I agree with these policies!
Here in the state's my son in law refused to vaccinate my grandson, when he started school at six years old it was mandatory that he have every injection he missed it took two months to do, I don't think that sold be allowed its crazy on the parents part, good day to you my friend
When I was young everyone got vacinated , no one asked questions and just did it as back then we seen what it could do if you didnt and how many kids died etc. or got sick or spread more disease. Everyone just automatically got their shots when they were young, and got more booster shots in school , it was never questioned at all! I would rather my child got all their shots then take a risk that they could die by not getting them. Great post my friend! upped and resteemed!👍✌💕
