Doctors will tell you that abstaining from these shots is okay, because the vast majority of people still have their children vaccinated, as such the diseases are far less likely to travel and infect unvaccinated children. This is really just another aggravating example of the rich riding on the backs of the poor. After all, poor children are expendable right? Let them suffer any medicinal side effects while my special child reaps the benefit without the risk. For the record, I am a team player; my children are both up to date on their shots.
