You can believe the unknowns associated with the new chicken pox vaccine aren't worth the well-known and manageable hassle of having the chicken pox, without also believing crazy things about vaccines causing autism or sending infections through the mail.

Exactly.

Inviting around other local kids to interact with each other to overcome the much heavier risks of the adult version of this disease or to go on frequent field trips to farms and rural areas while young so that kids bodies are no strangers to naturally occurring organisms and strengthen their immune system is VERY different from sending around contagions in the mail!

Risking affecting others without them knowing is very much a red line most sensible people would never cross.
