If you argued that parents should make the choice and not bureaucrats, people would probably be more open to it. When you joyfully reject common sense and protest with your fingers in your ears, you look crazy, and nobody wants to join a group of crazies.

Even then, its not a situation where someone should be free to do something stupid that might harm themselves. When children are put in danger by ignorant or stupid parents, its different. If we are going to put parents in jail for relying on the power of prayer and refusing to take their kids to the hospital when they are obviously sick, then I don't really have a problem with telling parents that they must vaccinate their kids.
