"However, at least the regular schools won't let their children into classrooms next to my kids, where they pose a disease threat to all the other children."
Not true here in Arizona. Just need to fill out a form saying you don't want your child to be vaccinated for religious or personal beliefs.

And those few who abstain from vaccinations are like draft dodgers... They receive the full benefits of vaccination... because the vast majority who are vaccinated keep these diseases in check.

I'd love to see your explanation why kids whose bodies are vaccinated should then have anything to fear from kids who aren't. Isn't that the POINT of the vaccination? Sheesh.
And I am one of that group that would be in line for the vaccinations the day of the government making them free, but I can see why plenty of people don't want them mandatory. Especially after being forced to present my medical records to the college I attended in order to continue classes. I had the vaccinations required, but they required me to get more because they didn't like the date the doctor had written for my first MMR (even though I'd already gotten my SECOND), on which he'd mistakenly written the year before I was born. I had to plop down another $20 simply because the doctor didn't like an obvious, common error.
Leave major life decisions to people's judgment. If you're right, they'll die and you'll get your government anyway. If you're wrong, you'll just have annoyed them and they'll get involved in government and get you back by messing with YOU.
