Our friends didn’t vaccinate their kids and I asked our pediatrician about it; she said not to bring a baby around them, but the kids are much more at risk than ours (who are vaccinated), so not to worry too much.

Also, your kids WILL be around unvaccinated people, including at school (people get medical or religious exemptions)— you just won’t know it. If your kids are healthy and vaccinated themselves, they will be fine.


So because your kid sometimes licks poles, you should let them lick all poles even the ones you know are filthy?


If your kids are licking the faces of their cousins, you have other issues going on.

I would care because even though my kids are vaccinated, no vaccine is 100% effective for everyone.

What does this mean for my kids? Would you stop regular get-togethers?


My kids have gotten all the vaccines required for school in our state, so I would consider myself pretty middle of the road regarding vaccines. (Although my kids didn't get the COVID shot and we didn't get COVID boosters, so I guess some here on DCUM would consider me an anti-vaxxer.) Basically, I recognize the huge benefits that vaccines have had to public health while also recognizing that some vaccines have a clearer cost/benefit than others. I think the ability to discuss vaccines with this level of nuance would take a lot of the teeth out of the vaccine-skeptic movement.

All that being said, I genuinely don't understand this type of neurotic pearl-clutching. I think parents who refuse all vaccines are misguided, but I don't think it's worth ruining your kids' relationship with their cousin over it.


Same but my kids did get the Covid shot.

I think it’s in society’s best interest to be vaccinated but I would not react so emotionally over the top as some posters suggest.

We all got the flu shot so I’m not anti-flu vaccine but this is completely untrue on a number of levels.

No they should not be allowed to make that decision if their kids are going to school.

Want to be a sub human stupid and not vacinate go live somewhere far from others and stay out of schools.

There is a reason states mandate vaccines. It is called herd immunity fool.

Your real question is should parents be allowed to kill other people’s children because they are irrationally against vaccines. My answer to that question is no. If you don’t want your kids to get vaccines and you do not have a legitimate medical reason for avoiding the vaccines your kids should not be allowed to attend public school. You should either attend private school or homeschool your children at your own expense.

My kids are older and I wouldn’t care. Sure, I think it’s stupid but whatever. I would hope to get a heads up if they’re sick so we can pass on the invite.

Is this the same OP as "my nephew is malnourished"?

Not a lot of data here.....


I am not trying to be judgemental here. Did you at least give your kids the Hepatitis B vaccine? This one substantially reduces your kids risk of getting liver cancer.
