I recently contracted adult chicken pox. From a child who had the disease, who had an anti-vaccine mother. I nearly died from the infection, and the mother in question claimed that if I had lived a healthier lifestyle (water, yeast, probiotics which do nothing, really), I would not have suffered.
I would like to just put it out there, that if your kid is a carrier of virulent disease and I get sick, and you have refused to immunize your child against said virulent disease, you are directly responsible for my illness.
IF I should die from that illness, that makes you at very least guilty of manslaughter, if not murder.
I therefore choose to claim that any parent who would rather claim agency over their child's health than any shared responsibility to the health of the community in which they live, is not only abusing their own child, but endangering the lives of countless people. If you do not vaccinate your child, they should not be allowed into pools, parks, public schools or libraries; as all these places are public, and the potential to spread disease in these locations, through means of unvaccinated snot or a cough, is far more risky to far more people than any perceived risk of developing autism spectrum disorder.
This type of selfish behavior endangers the lives of everyone that unvaccinated child comes into contact with, and greatly increases the risk of an epidemic of, for example, the winter flu, which routinely kills many children and elderly every year.
Not to vaccinate is to demonstrate blatant disregard for the life of your child and the lives of anyone you allow them to have contact with.
