To add, this only works if the majority of the population is vaccinated. Herd immunity is a real thing, but for us (and the things we vaccinated against) it isn't achieved through mass infection. It's through majority adoption of vaccination.
Sure, kids who don't get vaccinated have been fine in the very recent past, but only because everyone else has had vaccines. We're starting to see this slipping in lots of "1st world" countries. People see kids not being vaccinated and being ok, because the majority of people are vaccinated. So more people don't vaccinate their kids. Now we're getting mass outbreaks of measles, and people who have legitimate medical reasons preventing them from getting vaccinated are at extreme risk.
I'd love to say let them Darwin themselves out of our hair, but that's not how it works.
Smfh...just so stupid.
