I don't understand why they should feel obligated to vaccinate their kids.
What happened to "my body, my choice"? |

they should not be allowed custody of their children
also, improve health education in the united states to prevent anti vaccine parents to ever be a thing |

My sister is one of those. I don't really understand why she's doing it but I've resolved to just not bring it up because I know it will cause a conflict.
I know my parents are worried about the kid though. |

"Vaccines only work if as many people as possible have them"
How do you measure that?
Also, if your child is vaccinated, and another child isn't, wouldn't the first child be protected from any potential diseases that the latter child might carry? |

Taking children from custody because of parents not trusting vaccination is stupid.
That would create much bigger problems both for the children and the parents. |

Okay, but are the odds of an outbreak occurring when 90% of children are getting vaccinated? |

"How do you measure that?"
In an ideal world, everyone without compromised immune systems or serious allergies to the vaccines would have them.
"Also, if your child is vaccinated, and another child isn't, wouldn't the first child be protected from any potential diseases that the latter child might carry? "
Vaccines only protect against a few extant strains of viral or bacterial diseases. They cannot protect against strains that the current ones mutate into. A scenario:
Imagine three people. Their names are Prima, Secunda, and Tertia. Prima has a vaccine against disease X, but Secunda and Tertia don't. So let's say that Secunda gets sick with the current strain of X. Prima is immune to it, but Tertia isn't. It mutates slightly in Secunda, but not enough to make it different enough for Prima's vaccine to be ineffective. Secunda gives the new, slightly different strain to Tertia. It mutates again in Tertia, but this time it's drastically and Prima's vaccine no longer protects her. Tertia goes on to infect Prima with X, despite Prima having an X vaccine.
If all three of them had been vaccinated originally, the disease wouldn't have had enough time to mutate enough to bypass the vaccine. |
