Or just get your kids vaccinated? Their kids will get diseases and natural selection will handle the rest
That’s not really how every vaccine works. I work with people with compromised immune systems so I’ve been up to date on covid shots and boosters since they were available, I still got covid twice. Someone else’s preventable bad decision can still kill my kid or me, so no thanks.
Being vaccinated against covid is not a guarantee that you won’t catch it If you do get infected, your symptoms and length of illness will be much reduced, because your body is already primed to recognize and fight the pathogen. I have to imagine that the same thing applies to any vaccinatble disease; the vaccine is not preventing your exposure to the virus, but to your body’s immune response when you are exposed.
That’s on an individual basis. On the community scale, the more people who are vaccinated against a particular virus, the less everyone is exposed to the virus in the first place.
That’s the problem, other people aren’t vaccinating their kids or themselves, there is no communiy scale protection if half the community isn’t protected, and in some places in America it’s way more than half.
