Thank god, refuse to vaccinate all you want but in public schools around other people's children it should be a requirement. Hell, I don't think the parents should get to keep their kids if they don't vaccinate but that is another matter.
If vaccines work as they are suppose to wouldn't a few unvaccinated kids not make a difference? I mean, isn't that the whole point of vaccines in the first place? Get the herd immunity high enough that the outliers don't matter?
One run of polio or some such does tend to weed out the stupid parents rather quickly. Heartless? Well, yes. About as heartless setting your child up for a preventable death.

Herd immunity does not work when you have schools with only 50% vaccination rates in suburbia.

To be fair I am for that if they die away from me.
