    I will answer, if the child is vaccinated how on earth can my child kill him?, so what you and others are saying is that vaccines are useless.

    I know that, hence, no vaccination, healthier kid, simple.

    As others have said, some for various reasons cannot be vaccinated or perhaps didn't react and develop the antibodies.

    The reason your son hasn't caught any of the diseases is because he hasn't been exposed, as he gets older he will meet more people, travel more etc. He will be exposed to the real diseases especially with people like you not getting their kids vaccinated.

    No, I'm saying the opposite actually. If a child has a condition that prevents them from being vaccinated, or has wiped out their immunity (say, cancer, for example) then the likelihood of their vaccinated classmates transmitting it to that child, is non existent.

    Your son could contract it, and with his luckily robust immune system could fight it easily, but pass it onto the classmate who relies on the herd immunity and kill that child.
