So if other children have been vaccinated, these unvaccinated kids pose no risk except to themselves & if they and their parents are willig to assume that risk, what's the problem?

If parents refuse to inject their children with a vaccine produced with aborted fetal cells that they object to on moral or religious grounds, I guess the state feels it can bully them into compliance. Another example of out of control government.

Yes, but I wonder how many times these students were told and reminded they needed to turn in their vaccination records?

Is the district willing to return every federal dime they recieved for these students butt’s being in seats throughout their education? I didn’t think so.

This article is very poorly written (big surprise, I know). It leaves out a very critical piece of information - how did this become an issue for the school right now? Obviously, these kids have gone through 13 years of school without being vaccinated, and it never stopped them from attending school or school activities before, so why now?

I suspect that the school has had a recent outbreak of chicken pox. That would explain why the author referenced the 21 day incubation period. Unfortunately, because few journalists these days actually learn how to write these days, we are left uncertain as to the reason for this action by the school.

Children of God for Life just this month published their updated list of vaccines with aborted fetal cells: http://www.cogforlife.org/vaccineListOrigFormat.pdf

Can't they just put it off for a week? It seems logical, but punishing the kids for something they cannot control isn't going to fly.

Why can't this be done from adult stem cells....? The PER C6 line was taken from the retina of an unborn child. Or if they do take it, why couldn't it be from a child that died in childbirth, or early on (not by intentional abortion)? It's too bad the drug companies don't work on non-aborted sources, I'm sure they would find a market (many states and hospitals might even mandate such sources if they were available).

I guess I was never vaccinated against chicken pox since I contracted the disease from a roommate while I was in the Army.........

Oh the craziness brings back memories. When my oldest was a Senior in HS right near the end of the year she ran a fever with very swollen glands. The ER doctor said she had MUMPS, though no case of mumps had been diagnosed in the US for many years and she had not been out of the country. The CDC got involved, the school said she could not finish the year and graduate. The reason I was given that she could not attend school was that many parents for religious reasons did not have their children vaccinated! My daughter was vaccinated and I was skeptical she had mumps. I took her to our doctor, he took lab samples (I think blood if I remember right) sent them to a lab in California and had them fax him results. Not mumps, just some garden variety illness and her glands swelled more than usual. This whole deal took a week to sort out and I ended up mad at most involved- it was nonsense.

Separate school and state, before it’s too late.
