Fear against inoculation has its intended effect

Based on the three responses to Wednesday's question about childhood inoculation, it would seem that the medical establishment's fear mongering about inoculation against childhood diseases has had its intended terrorizing effect.
Those respondents who would “isolate” a child from “the rest of us” clearly don't get the point. If parents decide to place their children “at risk” for any number of childhood diseases, why should those who do allow such serum poisons in their bodies feel the need to be “protected” from the non-inoculated, given that it is the latter whom are supposedly in the “risk” category?
Hey, folks, you're already among the “protected.” Why worry about exposure to children with the potential to contact such diseases if you've already taken the hemlock yourself?
