UK Court Orders Two Sisters Must Receive MMR Vaccine

rnws writes "The BBC reports that an English High Court judge has ruled that sisters aged 15 and 11 must have the MMR vaccine even though they and their mother do not want it. The High Court decision, made last month, came after the girls' father brought a case seeking vaccination. When outlining her decision in the latest case, Mrs Justice Theis emphasized it was a specific case 'only concerned with the welfare needs of these children', but lawyers say as one of a series it confirms there is no longer any debate about the benefits of the vaccine."

    Interesting that they are enforcing vaccines, and yet if you look at the NHS these days, "Pregnancy is not an Illness", ergo, you need almost no medical care to give birth, in fact, you are encouraged to give birth at home.

    It will be interesting to see what the statistics on mortality will be for the children/mothers over the coming years.

    But hey, at least they'll be vaccinated. That's a plus!

    Aren't they too old to become autistic from a vaccine?
