Choice is great, but if your choice negatively impacts herd immunity, the herd should be able to protect itself.
Public anti-social behavior is not without public consequence.
Meh, I see your point but I dunno how fair that is. They still pay taxes for the school after all...
Yeah, because paying a bit in tax offsets putting others in danger.

I don't think they do it for selfish reasons though. There are people out there who really believe vaccines may cause negative, life long effects on their kids due to a bad reaction of some sort. They truly believe they are making the right choice for the health of their children. And perhaps there is a small population of kids who have immune issues and may be particularly sensitive to certain substances in some vaccines. I don't know. I see your side of it for sure, but I also see the side that might be discriminated against. There's definitely a conflict of rights here and it's a tough issue.
Those who believe stupid shit should educate themselves instead of listening to celebrities quoting debunked studies.
