Vaccination exemption in CA, personal down, medical up

[Ravenshire]

A vaccinated kid likely won't. Unless, they got a bad vaccination. The bigger threat is to kids that for one reason or another can't be vaccinated. Immuno-compromised kids. Cancer kids, auto-immune kids, etc... Why should someones stupid decision put these kids at risk?

If I had an immuno-compromised kid and some anti-vaxer's kid got them killed, I'd be doing my damnedest to see them in court. Preferably criminal, but civil if I had to.

You can call it a personal choice all you want, but like Tizheruk has already pointed out, it's just like the decision to drink and drive. You're putting others at risk.

Are those kids  (cancer kids, immune deficient kids, etc) allowed to go to school with each other?

There was a leukemia kid in my graduating class. My daughter was in school with an HIV positive kid for years. Yes, immuno-compromised kids go to public schools.

ETA - The grade school my kids attended changed it's name to honor a student who was HIV positive and later died of AIDS.

Besides, kids don't congregate only at school. Boys and Girls clubs, movie theaters, the local mall on weekends, etc...

Don't drink and drive. Don't make decisions about immunizations based on celebrity endorsement of junk science.
