Concerned Mother says:

I guess this goes back to public safety. So, if a parent chooses not to vaccinate their child, and their choice leads to their child being the vessel of disease that gets my child ill — then do I have the right to sue the parent who put their child and my child and our community at risk for a disease that is vaccine preventable. Since they make an overt choice putting others clearly at risk there should be a venue for legal consequences under US federal tort claim law. Maybe that is how this should be managed, we will sue them into poverty if their poor choice puts us all at risk. Enough of the conspiracy theories. Your freedom never over rides others safety. I believe the Supreme court already ruled on this the corner stone case is Jacobson. good reading.
