No, you do NOT have the right to have your children to act as vectors for diseases which CAN and DO kill other kids. A lot of kids CAN’T take vaccinations for various health reasons. And a certain, low but significant percentage remain vulnerable despite vaccinations. What keeps these kids safe is herd immunity. So if you don’t want your kids vaccinated, fine: as long as you live in a ranch 100 miles from any other human and have all your foods and supplies dropped in by airlift. But you do NOT have the right to spread deadly diseases to infect and kill innocent children.
And you think you have the right to tell someone that they must take the risk with the vaccine, no matter how small, because it might lessen the risk of disease to someone else? Kids can, and do, die from vaccines as well. We don’t make international visitors prove they’ve been vaccinated before they enter the country, whether they come legally or not. They still pose a risk to those few who cannot be vaccinated.
Just an fyi, the CDC reports that the MMR is effective for producing immunity in 98% of people. But, there’s been a big stink with one of the manufacturers, and I can’t remember which one right now, for fudging the effectiveness rates. A couple of the scientists that worked for the company brought to light some of the games that had to be played to get the theoretical effectiveness to where the gov’t requested it be by a certain date. So I find that interesting. I don’t think there’s any reason to believe that vaccines in general have not reduced disease rate, although anti-vaxxers love to claim that the disease rates were dropping before the vaccines were introduced. But, I do wonder what the real numbers are. It sounds like maybe they aren’t what the manufacturers claim them to be.
