You appear to imagine that I don't understand how vaccines work. I do understand them! Also, my kids (who go to preschool and daycare right now) won't contract measles or other diseases-that-could-be-vaccinated-against from their unvaccinated peers, because... They're vaccinated.
Lots of people do lots of harm to their children. The amount of harm that anti-vaxxers do to their children is small. The amount of harm that anti-vaxxers do to anyone else's children is like 100x smaller.
Lightning strikes kill more people in the United States every year than measles does. Probably -- though I don't know how to get the statistics for this -- than every disease that might be vaccinated against that people decline.
This is not the threat that we need to compromise our principles over.
