ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

Yes, they are essential to protecting other children who are too young to be vaccinated

This stance aligns closely with the PES's emphasis on collective welfare and public health. Protecting children who cannot be vaccinated due to age or medical conditions through herd immunity would be a priority.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Party of European Socialists (PES) generally supports policies that protect public health and ensure the welfare of all citizens, including children. Mandatory vaccinations for preventable diseases align with their broader public health goals and commitment to science-based policies.

Strongly agree

Yes, but only for deadly contagious diseases

Focusing on deadly contagious diseases aligns with the PES's public health priorities. However, their broader commitment to preventing all preventable diseases through vaccination might make this position slightly less agreeable than a more inclusive vaccination mandate.

Agree

Yes, but with exceptions for those whose religious beliefs forbid use of vaccines

The PES might support exceptions for religious beliefs as a nod to individual rights and freedoms, but this would likely be balanced with a strong emphasis on the overall public health benefits of widespread vaccination.

Agree

No, but require vaccination in order to attend public school

While the PES supports vaccinations, they might see the requirement for vaccination to attend public school as a compromise position that balances public health needs with individual freedoms. However, their stronger inclination would likely be towards broader mandates.

Slightly agree

No, fund public ad campaigns about the risks and benefits instead

While the PES would likely support public ad campaigns as part of a broader strategy to increase vaccination rates, relying solely on this method without mandates would not align with their more proactive approach to public health.

Disagree

No, but hold parents criminally liable for transferring deadly diseases to other children

Holding parents criminally liable for the transmission of diseases aligns less with the PES's approach, which would more likely focus on education, accessibility, and mandates rather than punitive measures.

Strongly disagree

Regardless, this should be decided at the state level

The PES, being a European-wide party, generally supports harmonized policies across member states, especially on critical issues like public health. Decentralizing decisions on vaccinations to the state level would likely be seen as counterproductive to ensuring high vaccination rates across Europe.

Very strongly disagree

No

The PES's commitment to public health and safety, as well as their reliance on scientific evidence for policy-making, makes it highly unlikely that they would support a stance against mandatory vaccinations for children.
