All people are rightfully allowed to choose the health practices best for them and their children.  This is one of our "natural rights" and may not be abridged by state, local or national government.  Not to mention that the side and long-term effects of the vaccine are known to exist, but unknown in severity or duration and that the disease caused by the virus is highly survivable and in the vast majority of cases, about as innocuous as seasonal flu, especially for children. Everyone should have the "right to try" these still-experimental drugs, but it must not be compulsory.
