I understand your dilemma initially, it's actually one of the main reasons i put off having kids, i see it in my community more and more, its difficult to try and blame vaccines as you know, but the more i see things like this the more it scares me away
though where i live they are becoming quite strict with vaccination, in some cases they won't allow you to attend school(which is strange because it should only be the un-vaccinated kid that has any danger, right?)

Not right. The concept of "herd immunity" breaks up the potential for massive, wide scale outbreaks. If everyone was un-vaccinated, or even most of us, diseases could easily travel through entire communities, jumping from one to another.
If the majority of people are vaccinated, it is harder for diseases to establish these links and become epidemic.
On top of this, a human host to a virus or disease can provided a wonderful environment for growth and mutation. If a previous vaccinated disease lingers in a carrier for long enough, it could evolve and eventually bypass any current medicine.
PS: I am not telling anyone what to do. Just describing why vaccinated people can still be at risk due to un-vaccinated transmitters.
No herd immunity
Herd immunity
I do not understand the politics of the school system it just doesnt seem right. I hope one day you will have kids they are such a blessing.
