A judge has ruled that two sisters must receive the MMR vaccine even though neither they nor their mother want them to have it.

The father of the girls, who is divorced from their mother, brought a case to the high court seeking the vaccination, according to the BBC.

The parents had agreed not to vaccinate the girls following the MMR controversy surrounding subsequently discredited claims that the vaccine could cause autism.

Mrs Justice Theis said it was a specific case "only concerned with the welfare needs of these children".

The case is the third time the MMR issue has been before the court.

A mother was ordered to have her child immunised against measles, mumps and rubella in 2003 after the court ruled the benefits of vaccination outweighed the risks while in 2011, children in care were ordered to have the jab against the wishes of their parents.

In the latest case, the father's solicitor wrote to the girls' mother looking for her agreement that they should be vaccinated after concerns about the vaccine were discredited. The mother did not agree that the girls should be vaccinated and the case went to court.

The girls, who are 11 and 15, were concerned about the ingredients, some of which are animal-based materials, since one of them is a vegan. They were both said to be influenced by their mother, who is anxious about the treatment.

"I am aware that this is against the girls' wishes but that that it is not the only factor," the judge said.

"The court also has to consider their level of understanding of the issues involved and what factors have influenced their views. I do not consider there is a balanced level of understanding by them of the issues involved

The Courts do not understand that many Scientist criticizes corruption of medical industry and are just acting as The Authoritarians on behalf of the legal Drug Dealers.
