If children are vaccinated against measles they won't catch it from the unvaxed right? Only the unvaxed are susceptible. What's the problem?

For parents who don't give a rat's a ** if their kids get infected they can leave their kids unprotected. The parents who DO give a rat's a** and protect their children from infection should have no problem. So the antivax kids get Measles and some die. That is the will of their parents who have every right to do that to their children. Right? They own their kids and they raise them any way they want! Whose business is it ?

So what's the big deal here? Seriously I don't get it. UNLESS of course even with the vaccination a certain percentage of kids can still get Measles. if true would it be a milder case?

Some antivax parents I suppose think they are protecting their kids by preventing them from getting vaccinated. Different strokes.  To do or not to do right by your children. Your decision. That right differs from parent to parent and kid to kid I expect. I am and always have been provax for my kid. That doesn't mean  you have to be provax for yours. Are ya or are ya not?

    ... children who are too young to get vaccinated.
    ... people from other nations, who weren't vaccinated.
    ... adults who weren't vaccinated as children, and don't know.

    Didn't know one could be "too young" to be vaccinated Walt. I wonder if other countries have the same concerns and vaccinate as we do? Thank you for your helpful answer. I had not considered the points you raise. :)

    Maybe we should put them in colonies like they do lepers (antivax colonies) until they die out.    (calm down people... I'm only jesting)

    I understand that parents want what's best for their children.  But can't they see that they're not only putting their children at risk by not vaccinating them, but every other baby out there who's too young to be vaccinated yet (I love mykid, but yours can die because I have my rights)??

    I firmly believe that vaccinations should be mandatory for everyone (at the appropriate age) unless one has a valid medical reason why they cannot be vaccinated.

    I think there should be should for the unfaxed. Isolate them and let them live or die as fate allows. After all parents do own their kids and have every right to deny them protection. SIGH. Thank you for your reply Sharon! :)

    'Own' or are 'responsible for'? 

    It seems that more and more people treat their children like merchandise (something which they can do whatever they wish with) instead of like human beings.  They torture them, rape them, kill them, deny then food, shackle them, abuse them, refuse to take care of them (putting the child's best interests ahead of their own) ... and, seemingly, they see nothing wrong with doing so.   They're gung-ho to go out and create them, but immediately after that they become a liability.
