#antivax FAQ: "If your kid is #vaxxed, why are you afraid of my #unvaxxed kid?"
I'm not afraid OF your kid, I'm afraid FOR your kid. I was a vulnerable unvaxxed kid & I was afraid of getting sick, even though there weren't outbreaks in my area when I was growing up.

Also, your #unvaxxed kid puts people who can't #vax at risk. And since #vaccines aren't 100% effective, maybe my kid is in the 3ish% (depending on the vaccine) for whom it didn't work & therefore still vulnerable.
Plus, herd immunity. Your #unvaxxed kid provides a breeding ground for preventable diseases. Just because I use bug spray & citronella candles doesn't mean I'm going to leave standing water in my yard for mosquitoes to breed.
