I completely agree.
My mother in law was wanting to take a family trip to Florida this summer, but we had to tell her we can't because I don't feel comfortable taking Aedan to Disneyworld or the Harry Potter theme park before he's had his MMR vaccine - which he can't get til he's 1. Before the anti vax nonsense, we coukd have relied on herd immunity. Now, we can't. A recent measles outbreak was traced back too Disneyland in California. These people either don't realize or don't care that they're not only endangering their own kids but other kids as well. Sometimes the vaccines don't work or some kids have legitimate health issues preventing vaccination or just aren't old enough to be vaccinated and they're being endangered from people who choose not to vaccinate.
