[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t vaccinate my girls for most of the required vaccinations (not including flu or covid, which we don’t vaccinate for either) only a few that we think were/are more necessary.

They’re 5 & 8, perfectly healthy kids. [/quote]

People are now dying from measles because we have lost herd immunity in some communities. You vaccinate for your kids and for everyone else’s. Vaccination is probably the greatest single achievement in public medicine ever. You also are operating under the flawed assumption that by opting out of vaccination, you have opted out of risk. That is not true - you have opted into the greater risk pool of what happens when the disease enters back into the population because you are all selfish and ignorant and your unprotected kids pick it up. You have actually taken on a higher level of risk. Exemptions must be reserved for those for whom there is an actual scientific reason why they can’t have one. Everyone else gets it so that we can get to herd immunity so that the discussion of “just how bad are the measles” goes back to being a theoretical one.

And your kids are healthy until they aren’t. [/quote]

This 100%. You avoided some perceived risk and put your kids right in the line of a much bigger KNOWN and documented risk. The cognitive dissonance and stupity is astounding [/quote]
