I can see it here but it's just very small and vague, nothing really special :p 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Vaccination is not mandatory here, but most people do let their children get vaccines, resulting in the 'group immunity' percentage needed. Annoyingly though, especially in our 'Bible Belt' people are reluctant to letting their children get vaccines, putting their own kids and those of others in danger by refusing vaccines.

It's evern more annoying when not only fanatic religious people do that, but also people who think they are expert about science and medicine because they studied through...Google and Facebook.

No. They do not.

I didn't even know there were countries where they weren't mandatory. How come you don't end up with outbreaks of things like smallpox then?

 

In a perfect world it would not even be necessary to make it mandatory because everyone want to vax themselves/their children. But if too many people do not want to vax then it's necessary have to make it mandatory.

 

Also some children can not get vaxinations because they have some diseases which would make vax on them dangerous. Outbreaks are avoided through "herd/group immunity", but if too many people stop vax their children this will not happen anymore and outbreaks will be much easier, especially between non vax children.
