[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not understand why people think that being vaccinated against the very small number of diseases there are vaccines for means that their kids won’t get sick in general. Strep throat can be very dangerous especially if not diagnosed but there’s no vaccine for that and it’s very contagious. And there are noriviruses that cause significant illness and are very contagious. I also don’t get why those who are so offended by anti backers don’t insist that the parents or nanny accompanying the in vaccinated or under vaccinated kid also get vaccinated. Do you really think the parents are all up to date on their vaccines when they accompany little parks for a play date? I doubt it.[/quote]

Holy cow. Really?

Reasonable people know they and their kids will get sick but understand that vaccinating against those illnesses for which vaccines are available will avoid getting or at least minimize the effects of some serious bugs. Have you ever seen a serious case of measles or pertussis?

Strep throat won't land your kid in an iron lung.[/quote]

Accepting exposure to illnesses for which there are not vaccines is the cost of interacting with society. Intentionally making choices that you know will contribute to the rise of preventable communicable diseases is a decision for which the price is that society does not want to interact with you.
