Very few things we require vaccination against in kids are actually threats to other kids. We've got HepA/B. A isn't dangerous to kids, and B isn't something that kids would spread. DTaP, tetanus is not a communicable disease, pertussis is spread by nonimmune adults. Varicella is generally a benign infection in childhood. The ones that are required that I haven't listed here are generally more reasonable evidence based vaccines. That said, one big issue is that the vaccines are incompletely affective, so those measles outbreaks you hear about on the news? Mostly vaccinated individuals.

That's ok. The kids will be better off being homeschooled anyway.

That depends on the parents

Very true, but not being brainwashed into worshiping the government is a good start.

vaccines are great and all, but make sure all those migrants/refugees are given all the shots too. Dont forget to delouse them too.

Too bad we can't do the same for their Islam indoctrination.

The funny thing is that if you gave people a choice between one school that required vaccination or medical exception and another that said one's vaccination status, like other medical conditions, was one's own private business, the school that required* vaccination would probably have a lower vaccination rate than the one that didn't.
I value my medical privacy and, given the choice, prefer dealing with institutions who respect that right. I also am vaccinated, which means your vaccination status isn't any of my business either since I can't catch whatever you're spreading. It's only the unvaccinated who demand entry into a school that requires everyone else get vaccinations.
