From what I understand, there hasn't been any mass deadly outbreaks in schools due to this.
The article says that as of now, there are about 1,000 students who haven't attended school in over a month due to this policy. Sure, we could say it's the parent's fault for not getting their kids vaccinated, but I think the responsibility lies on the government here. After all, they're the ones who implemented this policy.
I dunno. I just always get weary when government 'forces' people to do things.

I am weary also but I think there are exceptions to everything. If the government can't force us to do anything then it couldn't tax us which means the government would not exist and we would be in a anarcho-capitalist situation where everthing is privatized and everything is always based on the size of our wallets and ability to pay. I am a capitalist but I have my limits and will always admit when free markets to have some drawbacks and when freedom does lead to problems beyond the individual making the decision. The only person really benefiting from this sort of freedom is maybe the people that manufacture little baby coffins.
