I'd say the risk to public health supercedes your "healing liberty". Want to take homeopathic water for your cancer? Fine. Want to use accupuncture instead of aspirin? Sure. Want to massage healing crystals rather than get prescription skin cream for your psoriasis? Knock yourself out.
But when you choose to not vaccinate your children, you're not only leaving them vulnerable, but you're actively affecting anyone around them, including the children of other couples, over whom you have no authority. One of the government's jobs is supposed to be public health and safety, and letting these whackjobs refuse to vaccinate is ludricrous and dangerous.
Your "healing liberty" stops at the phrase "highly contagious".
