If the other kids are vaccinated then how are they endangered by an unvaccinated kid? Surely these miracle vaccinations work!

0bama walks over to you and your child with a needle.

he says you must allow him to inject whatever’s in the needle into your kid.

I never understood why “conservatives” trust their gov’t here with this topic blindly.

Yes...I’m a “vaxer”.

Vaccines make it less likely that you’ll get infected but they’re not a guarantee. ‘Herd immunity’ serves to protect us from having a disease spread around enough to find out who’s immune system isn’t going to protect them- the elderly, the sick, infants, the plain unlucky.

Yeah, we can’t have unvaccinated children giving diseases to the vaccinated ones.

On the other hand; we can't have vaccinated children giving diseases to the unvaccinated ones...

Your graphic doesn’t account for the ‘immunized and sick’...

“Parental rights do not extend to endangering other people’s children”

If other people’s children are vaccinated how are they endangered by unvaccinated children?

Unvaccinated children, assuming that the unvacccinated status results from parental worry about the health of their children, whether wise or misguided, should be homeschooled, anyway, as should all other children about whom the parents actually give a damn. For some private or church school should be an option. Sending your child to public school is a strong indication that one does not care anything at all about one’s children beyond the embarrassment of having them die of malnutrition or be taken by CPS.

No, they shouldn’t be forced to stay home, since the only ones they are endangering is themselves. If a parent is stupid enough to prevent their child from being vaccinated, at least it’s only they who suffer.

Why anyone would leave their child susceptible to measles, tetanus, diphtheria, and rubella is beyond me. Horrible diseases...

Before you have your child vaccinated, check with your doctor to see if your child is healthy and his immune system has developed to the point he can withstand the vaccination. All children are not the same. Some have health issues that need to be considered. If the doctor says it’s OK, then ask him to sign a guarantee that your child will not become ill, permanently disabled, or die from the procedure. And likewise that your child will be guaranteed immunization against the disease and all its variants. Then, if all goes right you will not have to worry about your child contracting that disease from those other unvaccinated children. Couldn’t be simpler, right.

I will guarantee no doctor in his right mind will put his signature on the dotted line. If he will, then get the hell out of there as fast as you can. If he won’t, get him to explain why. Ask him if his children have been vaccinated. Skip the math and statistics. It’s always a small percentage who suffered the possible side effects. But get the facts and know what kind of side-effects to expect when things go wrong. Then you make the call, not the government or some community activist group, and decide what’s best for your child. The child’s welfare is your responsibility.

Of course, if you’re willing to throw caution to the wind or don’t want to be bothered with the facts, this won’t be necessary. Then proceed. Big government and your local community organizer will be there to help if things go wrong. I guarantee.

-— If a parent is stupid enough to prevent their child from being vaccinated, at least it’s only they who suffer. -—

If he’s not vaccinated he could be carrying disease, at least while he’s pre-symptomatic.

Unvaccinated children should be kept out of school as a matter of public health.

Similarly, parents should be able to keep their kids out of school as a matter of mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health.

If you are allowing unvaccinated children in school, I’m giong to guess yours won’t be the only ones. The danger is chiefly to other unvaccinated children.
