| Message | President Burgmuller, Could I ask you if unfounded vaccine scepticism (such as believing that vaccines cause autism), which is born out of plain ignorance, would count as a ideological reason and allow a parent to stop their child being vaccinated? Dr. Sharona Eliott Health and Social Services Spokesperson of the Secularist, Socialist Party of Baltusia |
| Date | 21:32:49, September 08, 2017 CET | From | Baltusian International Democratic Party | To | Debating the Vaccination Choice Act 4269 |
| Message | Congresswomen Dr. Elliot, The notion that someone would believe that vaccines cause autism is ridiculous and vaccines are advocated for in our schools. We would encourage all to challenge these views, however, they would count as an ideological reason for a parent to opt-out of child being vaccinated. President Burgmuller |
