First of all, it isn't that simple and second, it isn't even close to the truth!
Thanks to social network I have been suffering through many, many, far too many discussions about whether to vaccinate children or not.
It feels like there is a huge group of self-appointed "vaccination rebels" who spend their days patting each-other on the shoulder

You know what really concerns me? People who vaccinate their children with live viruses and don't understand how shedding occurs and spreads diseases when they don't keep these kids away from other children.
I'm not pro-vax or anti-vax and I'm honestly not trying to troll. I've been trying to search for the answer myself and these are just questions I have for parents who say things like unvaccinated children spread disease. (I've seen articles stating vaccinated children being the ones who get infected and spreading the disease.)

I used the word "could" since there is always the risk of getting someone else sick when you are not vaccinated. Anexample: Babies/kids can't be vaccinated against Measels before their 11. months, meaning if they get in touch with a kid that is sick, the effect can be life threatening. My twin boys were born far too early and had to face some issues in the beginning. If they had gotten Measels, I don't even wanna think about how it could have ended.
Of course, it doesn't mean that all un-vaccinated kids are getting these sicknesses but there IS the risk that the parents could eliminate by vaccinating.
"People who vaccinate their children with live viruses" - do you mean people that bring their kids to so called "chicken pox parties"? Yes, you are right. I also don't understand why anyone would do that, if an infection could be avoided to begin with.
I hope I was able to answer your questions. :)
