And allowing parents to deny their children vaccine that may save their health and life and health and life of other children is all fine?

If we allow for that we might also refuse treatment alltogether and lift ban on female genital mutilation when we are at that.

Well I would say no. I am in favor of giving all children vaccines, with or without the approval of the parents.

As I said, the ethical problems are around the children. If adults want to opt themselves out, then I am perfectly cool with quarantining them in colonies and refusing them medical treatment. However they should not be permitted to drag their children along in such madness.
