Of contracting or bringing home the diseases we are supposed to vax against. In short, are unvaxed kids at risk if siblings are in school or if they attend school?

No. Children are meant to get sick and fight infection.

Unvaxed kids will usually do a better job than the vaxed kids fighting off all the infections which have no vaccines, too.

I have two completely unvaxed children in school, aged 11 and 9 and I don't think they are at greater risk at all, quite the opposite. Frankly, they are way more healthy than their vaxed friends. BTW, I am in CO also, and with our exemptions, having a non-vax or selectively vaxed kid in school is very easy.

Our kids are partially vaxxed (we stopped) and go to public school. Are they in more danger of being exposed to VPD's? Not really. Are they more likely to get the VPD's? For most of them, well, I hope so but I doubt it.

We don't vaccinate, and our kids are in a part-time school setting. I don't worry at all. They're healthy, so why should I?

Have you looked at what VPDs are like for most kids? They get a little sick, they fight it off, and move on with a big boost to their immune system.

I don't think dd is at an increased risk because she is not vaxed. I know she will get sick, that's just a part of life. I think her body is well equipped to fight off illness, like it's supposed to.
