Maybe if people (physicians) can track down the patient zero child of a given outbreak, have downstream parents of affected children turn and sue the negligent parent(s) for tort, if it's proven they denied vaccination to their child(ren), then maybe this unfounded practice can be eradicated.

Just slightly more than wishful thinking. Some legal thinkers have posited that it's not that far-fetched of an idea, given that epidemiologists can track down a patient zero.[1,2]
