if their unvaccinated child could be proved to have infected another person. If there childen were proved to have caused sickeness in another person, they would be subject to fines and open for damages in lawsuits.

Yes, it would be almost impossible to prove, but still I wish there could be significant financial consequence imposed by the government or injured parties.
