I worked as a medic for ten years, in a country where this is not even a discussion, kids get their vaccines at school... It is that simple. Where parents, some of whom, many of whom, don't have more than a basic education, don't question this. Why? They remember their sisters and brothers getting the measles. Some are from very traditional societies where distrust for western medicine is deep rooted, except for vaccines.

They remember people dying from it. They know their kids will not get sick.

This should have nothing to do with politics, and be confined to public health. Enough is enough of cuddling the willfully ignorant. This is one of the reasons this country is in the kind of trouble it is. Why we have people who honestly believe, that NASA faked the moon landing.

I should add, early childhood vaccines are obtained at clinics, free clinics, offered nationwide, twice a year, during national vaccination campaigns This is a national priority. That same country has also expanded greatly their access to health care, but that is a whole different ball of wax.
