It's not your body! That's my point! In the case of child vaccinations it is the child's body, not the parent who is making the decision. Even when it is not, you are putting everyone else at risk. We have laws about drinking and driving for the same reason. You have the right to do both but the law steps in when you try to do both. A violation of rights? Yes. If you had that right to begin with.
Your right to unnecessarily put yourself at risk of dangerous diseases ends where it puts my family at risk of dangerous diseases. Which is immediately. This isn't like smoking or drinking responsibly. There is no responsibly opting out of vaccinations except when there is a genuine medical condition such as those I've listed. It affects everyone which is why it is everyone's business.
Everyone else's right to live and be healthy trumps your right to be a dangerous fool.

I could use the exact same argument against abortion.
That has nothing to do with this, but I wanted to say it anyway.
