In America, if you don't vaccinate your children, you will be imprisoned.

A Michigan mother was given one week to vaccinate her 9-year-old son or face jail time, according to Parents magazine.

Rebecca Bredow, a mother of two, was sued by her ex-husband for not vaccinating their children. “I would rather go to jail for doing what I believe in than do something that is against my beliefs,” Bredow said.

Bredow said that when her son was born, she and her ex-husband (who was not yet divorced) decided not to vaccinate him. However, as the boy grew older, her husband wanted his son to be vaccinated.

Ms Bredow has learned about the harmful effects of vaccines on children and has decided not to vaccinate her children. “I don’t want to vaccinate my children since they combined the vaccines into one,” she explains.

An Oakland County judge ordered Bredow to vaccinate her child within a week or face jail time. Despite this, the mother has insisted that she will not vaccinate her child.

Mothers like Bredow are not uncommon in the United States who do not want their children vaccinated. Many studies have shown that vaccines are safe and effective, but many anti-vaccine advocates still believe that vaccines cause many health problems.

They believe that whether or not to vaccinate their children is a personal choice. Many people also spread anti-vaccination propaganda, causing confusion among other parents, which leads to many children not being fully vaccinated. Many diseases such as measles, which were long eradicated, are now breaking out again.

In July 2017, France announced that it would make vaccinations against 11 diseases mandatory for all children starting in 2018. In May 2016, the Italian government also required mandatory vaccinations against 12 diseases for all children. Students must have a certificate of full vaccination to be admitted to public schools. In the United States, most states require vaccinations for children.
