Miami- you sound like your more scared of the vaccine than of the illness. Don’t use data from thity years ago for safety & efficiency for today. All vaccines are relatively safe nowadays. (Nothing in this world is 100% safe) A lot of people in the frum community don’t vaccinate -you might have that legal right, but then don’t send your kids to school because you will spread the disease. “How can you spread the disease if everybodies vaccinated?” Because let’s say your unvaccinated child gets the measles and is still infectious while in school, another vaccinated child can pick it up even if he/she won’t get ill. This child can bring it home and spread it to siblings. If there is an infant at home, the baby can pick it up and get sick! We don’t vaccinate for measles till over a year of age.
