There's not much reason to believe that getting infected is statistically safer for children than vaccination though.
Even among young males (12-17), ACIP found that severe illness from infection had a higher incidence than myocarditis.

So people doing what is best for their children shouldn't be getting angry about vaccination.
Dismissing careful evaluation of evidence and showing up raging at a public meeting is antisocial.
Put it this way: if for arguments sake it was better for kids to simply become infected to gain immunity and the trade off is that adults might be more likely to be exposed, I think that the correct choice for a parent is what’s best for their child, not the group.
This is the natural response of parents who’s paramount concern is their children. Treating that concern as antisocial is how we end up with raging lunatics at school board meetings.
