I have the "choice" to gun down a dozen strangers when I go to the mall, but if I exercise it, there are legal penalties because I've just ****ing killed people.
This should work the exact same way, because it is potentially just as deadly.

Why is it so wrong to drive drunk?

People also choose not to vaccinate. Both can end with piles of dead children. That doesn't make either of them okay.

I'm aware you didn't say it was, but I'm assuming that it is based off the fact there are HUGE penalties that the US government enforces to those that do. So I'll ask again: Why is it so bad to drive drunk?

Then should drunk driving also be a choice without consequence?

I refer to my earlier statement about the number of people affected by non-vaccinated individuals. Both of your examples cause way more deaths than non-vaccinated people do. To my knowledge the Disney Land thing is the first major issue in a while of this kind while both of those things run rampant in the U.S. even with the laws against them.
It seems like making it a choice is working out for the most part. We had one issue in an area that is filled with anti-vaxxers. Do we know how many of those affected were vaccinated? I haven't really looked into that part but it'd be interesting to know.
Steam, your last few posts have seemed to be a hyperbole (if I'm using that term correctly, which I think I am). There's a far stretch from not vaccinating to being a comic book villain or gunning inoccents down. I agree with getting vaccinated but I disagree with villifying anti-vaxxers.

When you have to shepherd three kids, an aunt, and two grandparents through a world where (to them) even a common cold could be fatal, and then see people willingly forgo vaccines that keep more serious threats from rising again, we'll agree to re-evaluate my position on villification.
In the meantime, I'm going to post a link here for anyone who agrees that vaccination is actually healthy (y'know, in accordance with literally all the studies ever done on it), where they can donate immunizations through Unicef .

It is a right to choose..
Many intelligent caring people make this choice, they are not idiots, they DO there research and base their choice on that.
Just because it doesn't fall in line with what you believe doesn't make it wrong!!!
