Many people, more and more all the time, are choosing not to vaccinate these days.
I don't know where you live but you most likely still have a choice to say no to vaccines for your children. My 3 children, ages 13, 9 and 6 have never had a single vaccine and they are MUCH healthier than most other children who do get their vaccines.
We do not go to doctors or need their advice unless the children get hurt or are very sick, which is hardly ever.

That is bold decision definitely. And luckily your kids haven't encountered any of those illness which are preventable by available vaccination. Unfortunately, If, I hope that day won't come, anytime in future, it would have been found out that any illness is due to "not vaccinated", will you regret? (sorry of bad English).
Some vaccination is really helpful. Should we put all in same category and make ourselves prone to some serious infections?
You misunderstand. My children have had chickenpox and they even played several times with a (vaccinated) friend who had whooping cough (pertussis). The chickenpox was no big deal -- just a rash and fever. And they only got the mildest of coughs from whooping cough while their vaccinated friend had a bad case of whooping cough that needed medical attention. I would not have even known that it was whooping cough if their friend had not been diagnosed.
I myself am 48 years old and so I had measles, mumps and rubella as a child, and I can tell you that none of my childhood friends or relatives were injured from those either. It would not worry me at all if my children were exposed to those.
