    We can deal with that bridge when we cross it, but until then I’m all ears on a better option for the current issue

      It’s easy:

      Your kid doesn’t get to participate in any public services (school, for instance) if they are not vaccinated - no non-medical exceptions. And it is illegal to refuse to educate your kid.

          That used to be a thing in a lot of states - admittedly, there were some more exceptions, but generally school districts were reasonably strict about it, as a matter of public and community health. But the antivax movement took a lot of the teeth out of those mandates - so much so that many places in the US have lost their herd immunity as a result of so many idiot parents “doing their own research”.

            I was in school when those requirements were mandatory. Truly a shame how far the us has fallen since then
