It hasn't been more than two weeks since Italy made law that people who fail to get their children properly vaccinated will be heavily fined.
Now we see Germany is fed-up with it as well.

German kindergartens must notify health authorities about parents who fail to prove they have been counselled on child vaccination, the Health Ministry says, ahead of a law set to be passed next week. The move comes amid a measles outbreak in Europe.
Parents not complying will face fines of up to €2,500 (US$2,800). The authorities can already fine parents who allow children to skip vaccination, which is mandatory for attending kindergartens. However, it was previously up to nurseries to decide whether to report such parents.
Health Minister Hermann Grohe said it was necessary to tighten the regulations due to a measles outbreak in Germany and across Europe. "Nobody can be indifferent to the fact that people are still dying of measles," he told Bild newspaper.

Ordinarily the Rockhouse does not support government intervention into much of anything but there are no alternatives when faced with widespread medical Luddism. Only a portion of this is based on the discredited quack in England who started it all since it's necessary to get properly vaccinated for international travel since you won't typically get a visa without it. However, refugees didn't enter Europe that way and likely that's a huge part of the problem.
There's one damning question top of that since why were these refugees never properly vaccinated previously and what kind of hellholes are they from which the refugees emerge.
There's not a tiny excuse for it in America since the medical knowledge is widely-known but there is a self-possessed subculture which does not believe it. At first that was driven to some extent by Beverly Hills hipsters but far-right conservatives took up the refrain and the unity in that cadre is an obscenity of its own but their purpose is flat out evil. They have no right to try to undercut the science when they don't even know it.
Note: they take tiny items here and there from any disreputable sources and call it medical Gospel. In fact, it's utter bloody rubbish and it kills people. Italy is fed-up with it and so is Germany so we congratulate both of them for taking responsibility and preventing it from getting any worse.

Stick to your fantasy idea of medical knowledge and it's going to cost you a couple of grand a pop at least in any countries civilized enough to want to protect against the threat carriers represent. No visa for you.
Two points for a whole lot of purple and not one shred of any logic. You're Guardian material for sure.
