As a future pediatrician (hopefully), there are few things that truly infuriate me more than those who put their children at risk like that.
Let me ask you this. We selectively don't immunize. For example, we decline the chicken pox vaccine. We will not go with the HPV vaccine when my daughters are older. We also avoid any vaccine with the WI-38 or MRC-5 developmental lines.
Does that infuriate you as well?

Dr. Sears has some good insight on the chicken pox vaccine and basically his recommendation is whether or not you as a parent want to deal with a cranky kid that has the chicken pox for a week because the kid will be fine once the virus runs its course. Chicken Pox vaccine side effects, though rare, are way more scary then if you kid actually gets the virus.
