BERLIN - German Health Minister Jens Spahn has drawn up draft legislation to oblige parents to get their children vaccinated against measles or else face fines and their exclusion from daycare. Spahn’s initiative comes amid a highly charged debate in Germany about whether the measles vaccine should be obligatory, and as the number of cases of the once-eradicated disease in the United States hit the highest levels since 2000.“Anyone going to a kindergarten or school should be vaccinated against measles,” said Spahn, setting out his plans, which would oblige parents to show proof of vaccination.

SPD health policy expert Karl Lauterbach spoke of a “very good basis” for a joint discussion. “It will not work without fines,” he told the Augsburger Allgemeine newspaper.

lisadavidms Get your children Vaccinated, Why Not? if they go into any medical field, doctor or nurse? they will have to be vaccinated, somewhere down the line, this is not about Religion or the Lord, this is Rebellion, Heaven forbid this was Leprosy NYCHealthCommission🙃.

Many people are virulently pro vaccine. The indoctrination is working well. The pressure to conform is at fever pitch.

Mybodymychoice?

ouch hitler nien

It would be better if they faced exile.

Germany keeps leading the free/progressive world 3 hopefully America will reclaim its position next year by kicking that pos out of the WH.

Look, if we all said our religious beliefs preclude us paying paying taxes, the country would be bankrupt. So it is illegal to use religion to opt out of taxes. Why then is it legal to opt out of vacinations when they pose a significant risk to public health and associated costs?

This needs to be done here

light footed.

And every illegal immigrant crossing the border.!! There is nothing racist about making sure every child in public school is vaccinated.! Period — end of story.! Vaccinate Varneyco TeamCavuto 🤔🇺🇸🤙🏼

Missing 3 vaccinations will land you in a concentration camp!!

Wish the US would do this

America don't get any ideas......Yall STILL owe reparations
