    Costs....

    Take a sample case: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/nsw-girl-diagnosed-with-tetanus-improving

    Poor girl in Northern NSW has the dumb luck to be born to anti-vaxxer parents, she gets tetanus.

    Has to go to hospital...( or die, it's freedom of choice )

    Spends two weeks in intensive care.

    Cost of vaccine to TGA (est: $100)
    ( I couldn't actually find the number, so it's an estimate,but I think MMR is about $100 for two doses. If you have a better verified figure, please add it)

    Cost of purchase of intensive care bed $30,000
    Cost of running an intensive care bed $5,000 per day

    Two weeks in hospital cost to the government $70,000

    Add after care....
    Add lost productivity of the family.....
