Whilst I don't agree with taking away people's benefits for not agreeing to have their children vaccinated, something does need to be done to show parents what can happen if they don't.
Personally, I would invite them along to my place of work which is a residential home for deafblind adults, we have 5 residents ranging in age from 34 to 54 years old - all of whom have the disabilities they have because their mothers were in contact with or caught rubella whilst they were pregnant. They are all deaf and blind in varying degrees and all have severe learning difficulties, it would open a lot of people's eyes if they could see what Rubella causes - and that is fact not scaremongering.
