We don’t worry about it. We just don’t vaccinate and there’s nothing else said.

That’s completely out of topic but I think that the actual sanitary context may make some think it twice before engaging their family to met another family regularly after knowing that all the children are not vaccinated for no health reasons.

I pray that you are honest with the others people who met regularly, and much more if a person has a specific health problem which makes her more a target of bad infection/even death.Not all people who have been vaccinated are immunized. Thanksfully, as you homeschooled, you children are certainely less at risk to catch a disease than others children.
 
I only have one still being homeschooled. The other two are in college and work at a large grocery store. None of them have ever been vaccinated and I can’t remember the last time any of them saw a doctor. We don’t vaccinate for safety reasons and it has served us well.
 
My brother hold similar views as you, so I know that one of the main argument use by anti vaccine people and rhetoric is that their children are very healthy.

I would just answer that they may that they have a very good health naturally, you cannot be sure that it is because of the absence of a virus that destruct their immunity.

What we can be sure is that the vaccines, when a large proportion of population have received it make some children illness to almost disapeared. For eg, some sisters of St Thérèse de Lisieux have died from child disease that now have decrease to almost non existant in countries where chidren are vaccinated.

Smallpox who existed only for humans have completedly been eradicated from the world thanks to the vaccine. She only exists in laboratories (and we hope not maybe in some accidentally frozen men…)

I’m not anti-vaccine. I’m for choice. I have no problem with those who chose to vaccinate and I expect the same respect for my decision not to vaccinate.

That’s an example of the kinds of myths that are taught in public schools.

It is NOT a myth. Why do you think it is? What is your credible source for saying that?

For what it worth, i am not a doctor, and don’t learnt it in public school but through a book of pediatry written by a famous french pediatrician. But I just cross checked on the internet and found that the eradication was confirmed in 1980 (see wikipedia). Maybe to said that the WHO certified it may not be a good idea to said to an American due to the political context…

The problem is that pro-choice cannot works for vaccine.
Either we choose to vaccinated ALL to protect all the population INCLUDING the people WHO CANNOT be vaccinted because they are too unhealthy to allowed it. It is a responsability and charity. Or only some of the vaccinated people would be protected.

I agree that there is case where vaccination for all diseases that exists can be contested, and some vaccines are ethically contestable but some exceptions and choose to not vaccinated for some disease do not make all the vaccination principle illegitime.

No it’s not a responsibility and there’s nothing charitable about it. You choose to do it, fine. But please don’t pretend to know what’s best for me or how I should live my life.
