Maybe ask him to tell the whole story before being so ****ing judgmental.

I know a girl who has rheumatoid arthritis and Reynaud's disease. They're using steroids and chemotherapy to combat her sickness so she can actually walk, use her hands, dress herself, and do other things that she, at one point, couldn't do.
The chemo is destroying her immune system while effectively destroying the malformed cells that are making her sick; the steroids are lessening the inflammation caused by Reynaud's.
Despite the fact that her immune system is compromised, she still takes her medicine and trusts that a medical professional is doing all they can do to make her well again. Did she still get vaccinated as a child? Yes, of course.
Just because you think your kid is some kind of ~special snowflake~ doesn't mean you have any right to open a bigass can of infectious disease on humanity after we've spent hundreds of years finding medical solutions to these deadly ailments.
