| Message | "The AF, on the other hand, sees no reason why the religious beliefs parents should not be respected. While there is no question as to the benefits of vaccination, the free exercise of religion demands the capability of opting out of programs which are contrary to that religion." -Martin Amsel, Staatssekretar for Health and Social Services |

| Message | Carine Schalle MR, Minister for Health and Social Services: "i share the concerns of the opposition for the health of our children. However, we believe we must draw a line here to defend the freedom of religion. It is the height of hypocrisy that the VB opposes much of the benefits of the state, but would allow the state to tell the parents of this country to vaccinate their children and violate or dictate their religious beliefs." |

| Message | 'If we must pick between a child being compelled by a parent or by the state, we prefer the option where they do not catch a disease'. |

| Message | Die sehr geehrte Gesundheitsministerin, frau Schalle (Kien Altstadt): "Does this also mean the VB supports the maintenance of the state system of healthcare, and all the state capabilities that involves? Otherwise, we might as well keep calling them hypocrites, despite that last statement." |

| Message | 'For the present time, yes.' 'While we would love to rid the people of the burden of such, organisations like my own are not presently capable of providing universal healthcare'. -Phillipp Unger, Solidarity Federation MP for Nieder-Pfathzburg. |
