Cool. But if you choose not to get your kid vaccinated and your kid contracts measles and infects someone who; couldn’t get vaccinated because of a health problem; or another child that had their first shot but hadn’t yet gotten the booster; or someone that just got their vaccination but hadn’t yet built up sufficient immunity; or your kid infects a pregnant woman and causes a miscarriage or a birth defect; one of those you kid infects dies from a complication like pneumonia or meningitis, then would you agree that they should have the choice to sue you for damages?

Public health, properly understood, trumps unqualified liberty. A similar problem exists with the overuse of antibiotics. Overuse reduces the efficacy of these drugs for everyone.
Not me sa.., I don’t have a dog in this fight. I work for a living and my kids attended kid prison.
