They’re 5 & 8, perfectly healthy kids.

Until they get measles

We vaccinate selectively and do include MMR and DTaP.

Where’d you get your medical degree?

My husband and I are highly educated professionals.. Let parents make their own choices

I would make the decision never to have your children anywhere near mine, and I’d tell all the other parents why as well.

I’m okay with that.
Like I said before, we believe in parental freedom (including yours) and do all natural parenting.

Same. It's why we had 6. If only half make it to adulthood we will still jave a nice, large family size by DC standards.

There is no such thing as "Natural parenting"
You are pro birth not pro child. Shame on you for having kids and being a complete and utter horrible stupid human.

Not PP but pretty sure they're being facetious. Back in the day before vaccines people did deliberately have a lot of kids and didn't get attached to their children when young because childhood mortality was so high.

100 years ago, one in 5 kids died before their 5th birthday. That's "natural".

The childhood mortality today is a 5th of what it was when my mom was born in the 1950s.

Don’t delude yourself. You’re a neglectful and abusive parent, FULL STOP. I pity your children and hope they never speak to you again once they’re adults and off the chain you’ve put them on. IF they live to adulthood.

Which three of your kids are you good with dying? Have you told them which ones they are?

Your kids are vaccinated so they are safe.

SafER maybe, but not completely safe. My fully vaccinated niece, and several other kids, caught pertussis after spending a week away at camp with an unvaxxed teammate who turned out to be sick.

Then what good were the 4 dtap shots they had by 5?

Presumably it gave their immune systems a head start in fighting the infection so that the disease was shorter and less severe than it otherwise would have been. This would be a good question to ask your doctor, who I’m sure can give you a more accurate and complete answer, as well as address any other concerns you might have.

Kids get tetanus and pertussis boosters in hs, iirc, then booster every 10 years. Did your niece not have the booster?

I’m the poster whose niece got sick, and this is exactly what her ped. said to my sister…vaccination meant the illness presented as less severe and lasted for a shorter duration than it would have otherwise. Plus, immunity does lessen over time (my niece was in HS).

Your high school aged niece would have had a booster at 11 or 12 years old.

Yeah I always find this funny. My Dad was a pediatric neurologist. He is very highly educated, specifically in child development and neurodevelopment.

And: all his kids and grandkids are fully vaccinated. He signed my sister and I up for the HPV vaccine the second it was approved. I was one of the earliest kids to get the varicella vaccine. He was super excited about the RSV vaccine when it came out.

The people who actually have the relevant experience and education vaccinate their kids.

I hate when people end their stupidity with the statement “my kids are perfectly healthy “. That has NOTHING to do with it.

Your kids will get by if you live in a location with high compliance. You’re counting on everyone else protecting your children.

The US, like a third world country is at risk of losing its status of a country that eliminated measles.

There was an article on a Texas family. Where all 4 children contracted measles and they were hospitalized for weeks along with a long recovery at home. His father was quoted as saying “my kids earned their immunity “. I’ll take a bet on who paid those hospital bills. Hint - it wasn’t them.

That’s a very sad mindset. If our kids didn’t want to speak with us (which won’t be happening), we’d respect their choice.

My kids are fully vaccinated and I believe in vaccines so I wouldn’t change anything socially with this family. Lots of people make decisions differently than me without me cutting them off. The risk to my kids is incredibly remote.

So... not medicine.

I'm a lawyer too. And I'm smart enough to know that means I'm not educated in the field of medicine and should listen to doctors.

I’m trying to understand your thinking. If the kids hasn’t been vaccinated does that mean he could be carrying a disease that your kids would catch? When someone is unvaccinated does that mean they can be hosting a potential disease and spread to others?

I understand that vaccines protect us from catching certain diseases but does an unvaccinated person become more of a “host” of disease and that’s why they can’t be around vaccinated people?

If his parents say he doesn’t have to wear a helmet while biking is it dangerous for your kids to go bike riding with him too?

Op here and this is honestly why I posted. I wasn't sure of the real risks etc.
