Hundreds Of CA Children Sent Home On First Day Of School Due To New Vaccination Law [Rev 18]
CBS SF Bay Area ^ | 8/22/2016 | Staff

Posted on 08/23/2016 3:08:28 PM PDT by Jan_Sobieski

OAKLAND (KPIX 5) — Scores of California students may be sent home on their first day of school because of a new vaccine law that took effect this year. The new state law took effect July 1. Now, parents can no longer use personal or religious beliefs as a reason not to have their kids immunized. This school year, kindergartners and seventh graders must show proof of immunizations.

Monday WAS the first day of school for kids in Oakland. Hundreds of them were expected to be sent home.

"There could be a few hundred kids that are not immunized and so we'll be encouraging them as quickly as possible to get out there," said Oakland Unified School District John Sasaki. "Their parents may try to drop them off and we'll have to turn them away."

Young children who got their personal belief exemptions approved before January 2016, will be grandfathered in. According to the new law, they still must get immunized when they reach seventh grade...

Democrats hurt children.

A child no longer has a right to his own body.

Vaccinated children are infecting healthy children.

Democrats love enabling their sick dependency.

Shame on you Jack for over simplifying the issue, ie: Polio shots in the 1950’s outbreak, versus current aggressive vaccination practices in USA.
Many of us health conscious people have well founded concerns about the efficacy, side-effects, ingredient safety and aggressive dosage schedule.

Pharma-Med-Gov continue to lie in order to preserve the Multi-Billion dollar industry that today’s vaccination regiment has become.
Any admission that the efficacy, safety and aggressive childhood vaccination schedule is suspect for causing autism in 1 out of 32 US male children, would wreck havoc to the whole system, not to mention open up liability in the Tens of Billions.
Think that’s exaggeration?
Look up the government run Vaccine Injury Fund.
It was established in 1986 at the demand of Pharma in order to insulate them from vaccine injury liability.

They judge the injury evidence harshly, and have thus far awarded Two Billion dollars to thousands of vaccine injury victims.

It’s not just a binary matter of vaccinate or not to vaccinate.
We need full disclosure and development of vaccines that have safer ingredients, and a far more responsible conservative vaccination schedule like what European and Asian countries have in place in order to reduce child vaccine injury.

Period.

RE: When I was in 3rd grade in the 50s, I remember the school closing because of an outbreak of polio. Several weeks later they opened the schools again. 5 or 6 kids in the school did not return. One died and the others could no longer walk suffering from infantile paralysis. That’s a lot of reality for a third grader to absorb. Two or three years later they had the Salk vaccine and we lined up gladly to receive it.

People mow fear the vaccine. The diseases they prevent are far worse.

I also remember the polio outbreaks of the 50’s.
Our whole damn town shut down in late 54.
Remember getting my shot in the 6th grade in 55.
If it had come one year earlier, my sister would not have paralyzed on her left side for the rest of her life.
To all those who give every stupid excuse (autism) to not get vaccinated; come back and talk to me when it happens to somebody in YOUR family.

What the heck does polio have to do with the flu??

They are entirely unrelated.

Allowing total strangers to inject unknown junk into one’s child is beyond irresponsible. Most parents never exercise or understand diet. Most parents do not grasp that 50% of all drug studies are fraud. That is sick behavior.

If a child accidentally grows up smart, they should trash their parents for gross neglect and possible permanent harm. It is a definate deal breaker.

Parents are comfortably fine because children are naive and ignorant. But if they crossed an intelligent, well read adult, the parents would whine, run and hide. It is easy to abuse children but adults speak back.

Forced injections is gross child abuse.
Vaccinated children are ill.

Shame on you mom for conflating essential points deliberately obfuscating important distinctions, such as:

The fact that Injecting a child Directly Into the Blood stream with Aluminum, preservatives, adjuvant and particles of viruses Has a Far More Severe Impact on an infant’s immunological and neurological system than the bacteria and viruses that child would normally ingest through typical oral and nasal contact.

Get off the Doctor Kildare modern-medicine-can-do-no-wrong TV land programming and look at vaccine schedules, and autism rates of peer countries.
The US adopted increasingly aggressive vaccine schedules in the late eighties, ie: US 36 doses by age 5, vs 15 doses by age 5 in European and Asian first world nations.
Incidentally the US vaccine schedule used to be 17 doses prior to 1983, and our autism rate was four times less than what it currently is.
That’s where the problem lies.

And interestingly enough, Trump stated that quite correctly and clearly a number of months ago when the media tried to gotcha him.
Many higher educated / income parents and their pediatricians are erring on the side of caution by spreading out vaccinations over the course of a child’s first six years.

The fact that Injecting a child Directly Into the Blood stream with Aluminum, preservatives, adjuvant and particles of viruses Has a Far More Severe Impact on an infant’s immunological and neurological system than the bacteria and viruses that child would normally ingest through typical oral and nasal contact.

First, vaccines are not injected directly into the blood. Most of them are injected into muscle, but some of them can be injected into the skin. Some vaccines can be administered orally or nasally.

Second, dead viruses or fragments of virus or bacterial proteins do NOT have a more severe impact on a child's immune system than living pathogens. Living bacteria literally eat flesh, regardless of whether they are called "flesh-eating" or not. If a child does not have an adequate and appropriate immune response to bacteria, that child can become seriously ill and even die. Active viruses literally enter cells and take them over, forcing them to make more virus particles while preventing them from performing their natural functions. Once again, if a child does not have an adequate and appropriate immune response to viruses, that child can become seriously ill and even die. Some bacterial or viral infections can leave a child permanently damaged. Ever see pictures of polio victims?

I fail to see how the real risk of serious illness and potentially death is somehow more dangerous than an injection into muscle of dead viruses or bacteria, which are completely broken down into their component amino acids, lipids, and sugars by the body within days.

These days, people take for granted the freedom from disease that vaccines have given us. And since they have never seen massive numbers of children dying from infectious disease, or the kids permanently crippled from diseases like polio, or kids born with birth defects because of diseases like rubella--because they have never seen these horrors which were so common as little as 100 years ago--anti vaxxers always find people gullible enough to believe their lies.

The claim that the MMR vaccine causes autism was a complete fabrication by a shady "doctor" who was looking to make money dishonestly. First, he wanted to make money by selling a measles vaccine in which he had a financial interest. People don't want to give their kids three separate shots when one will do; thus, there is little market for a measles-only vaccine. Also, he was partnered with a lawyer. Together, they planned to sue vaccine manufacturers--the fraudulent article purporting to show a link between MMR vaccine and autism would have been published proof of the "expert testimony" the "doctor" would have provided on behalf of the lawyer's lawsuits. The Lancet made a mistake publishing that article. It was retracted years ago, and the dishonest "doctor" had his license to practice pulled.

The reason for the supposed increase in autism has nothing to do with any real increase in the number of cases, but in diagnosis and in changed definitions. In the past, most autistic kids were considered mentally retarded. But now they are more precisely diagnosed, so that the number of mentally retarded children has dropped and of autistic children has increased. In addition, researchers are beginning to uncover the real causes of autism. Characteristics of autism indicate that it has a strong genetic component. There also seems to be some indication that mothers who have high fevers during pregnancy have a greater chance of having an autistic child. I look forward to the day when all of the causes of autism are finally understood. That is the day when anti-vaxxers will have to find another way to hoodwink people.

Think about it. Vaccines are responsible for saving more lives than any other medical invention in history. Anti-vaxxers--those who push anti-vax kookery, like Barbara Loe Fisher--know this perfectly well. Yet they go around trying to convince people to be more afraid of vaccinating their children than they are of having their children die from preventable diseases. That is, the anti-vaxxers want children to die. Why do you even listen to them?

FYI, I am a medical researcher, and I happen to know a LOT about vaccines and infectious disease. Don't bother trying to snow me with anti-vax propaganda. Others have tried, and gotten nowhere. I feel very strongly about protecting children's health, so of all the medical nonsense out there, this is the one I routinely choose to debunk.

I decided to find out

Here is a link to the California Ed web site that deals with it

http://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/he/hn/cefimmunization.asp

Most disturbing is if foster child or refugee or undocumented then they have to be allowed in even if no immunization so.

The standard childhood diseases are what they asking for

Cancer rates are 1 in 2 in the generation of people that were vaccinated with the Polio vaccine. Cancer is communicable, and the vaccines were contaminated with cancer from the monkeys used to make the vaccines. Choose your poison, death of 2% from Polio, or death from cancer of 50%, but later in life. It has to be a choice.

RE: “I feel very strongly”
And that dear freeper lady along with pharma-medi religious dogma that makes you emotionally incapable and tone deaf to consider failability of your field. Doubling vaccine dosages in infants since 1983 just “may” be the cause of quadrupling autism in male toddlers.

I’m sure many a “medical researchers” who “felt” they knew a lot about microbiology & biochemistry sure had a hard time coping with fact that their pharma-medi god deliberately rushed deadly medications to market and obfuscated inconvenient negative results, sacrificing payients on the altar of profits.

Your blind faith in insistently believing the pharma-medi syndicate is not only ill founded based on ethics findings below.
Big pharma-medi syndicate continues to needlessly kill people.

Vioxx, Fosamax, are just two BIG disasters that come to mind which provide ample reason to question the ethics of pharma-medi god you unquestionably bow before.

http://ethics.harvard.edu/blog/new-prescription-drugs-major-health-risk-few-offsetting-advantages

“New FDA policies to get more drugs reviewed faster so that they can reach patients sooner in fact mean that drugs are approved with less evidence of being safe or effective. A systematic study of shortened reviews found that each 10-month reduction results in an 18 percent increase in serious adverse reactions, an 11 percent increase in hospitalizations, and a 7.2 percent increase in deaths. The risk of serious adverse reactions occurring after approval increases from 1 in 5, to 1 in 3—a huge risk that nobody is telling the public about.

In response to drug disasters like Vioxx, which experts say caused about 120,000 traumatic cardiovascular events and 40,000 deaths, Congress and the FDA have set up monitoring and safety systems. But a review of results so far found little evidence they are identifying serious risks or altering prescribing practices.”

“In a recent decade, between 2002 and 2011, independent reviews by clinical expert teams in France, Canada, and the Netherlands have concluded that only 8 percent of 946 new products were clinically superior, down from 11 to 15 percent in previous decades (see Figure, below). Only 2 were breakthroughs and another 13 represented a real therapeutic advance.”

That is Absolutely correct.
The CDC admitted not too long ago that the government and pharma KNOWINGLY allowed SV40 (simian monkey virus) to be present in a over a decade’s supply of Polio vaccine.
That was because it was more expensive for the manufacturer to produce a polio vaccine filtered free of SV40 that was derived from Rhesus monkey kidney culture.
It’s know admitted that any of the many MILLIONS of recipients of contaminated vaccine have been shown to intact a significantly higher incident of a host of different cancers up to thirty years after receiving the contaminated polio shot.

Nice ethical profit vs patient safety decision, huh..
No wonder pharma bribed congress to pass the vaccine injury liability exemption in the eighties.
It completely held them harmless of any financial damages when they MORE THAN DOUBLED the child vaccine dose schedule during that same time.

Wickedly brilliant.

You hurt children.

You “know” facts to be true in areas of unknowable uncertainty. Vaccines will never be a certain science. Ever. It is innate.

The doctor had his license revoked. The effect is if you research vaccines, then one’s life will be destroyed. Instead, your license should be pulled for an arrogance harmful to children.

Fallacy of Authority. I know PhD medical researchers. They could not organise a thought outside of biology. They are whack job liberals sucking on Govt OPM.

You “feel” for the children. So others should harm their children over your feelings. The problem with science is you are not allowed a single error. And you just had your fallacy.

As a researcher you are either dependent on Govt money or on pharmacy patents. No compassion, you are the most dangerous kind, coercion to your twisted viewpoints.

Society needs more courageous adults who protect children by understanding freedom. Freedom creates alternatives and solutions. Speak up to Vaxers and their constant non-sequiturs.

People enter my field because they feel strongly about human health--not because they are emotionally driven nitwits who couldn't logically think their way out of a cardboard box.

In order for something to cause something else, there has to be a clear mechanism. For example, measles causes brain damage because viruses enter brain cells. The infected brain cells no longer function as brain cells and the immune system kills them. The more brain cells that are destroyed in this manner, the more severely the brain is damaged. That is a mechanism. On the other hand, dead viruses injected into an arm muscle are nowhere near the brain, are incapable of entering cells, and are completely destroyed within a few days. There is no mechanism to tie them to any brain function. Imagining that vaccines are somehow capable of causing autism is like imagining that filling your car tires with air is somehow going to cause the air intake filter to become dirty.

I’m sure many a “medical researchers” who “felt” they knew a lot about microbiology & biochemistry sure had a hard time coping with fact that their pharma-medi god deliberately rushed deadly medications to market and obfuscated inconvenient negative results, sacrificing payients on the altar of profits.

This statement shows that you clearly have no clue about the medical research world or the regulatory process. First of all, researchers don't "feel" they know a lot about microbiology, biochemistry, immunology, chemistry, molecular biology, pharmacology, etc. They know their expertise, and they are very cognizant of the limits of their knowledge. Being a biochemist, I have a very good understanding of how the biomolecules that make up living organisms function, and how their functions are disrupted by pathogens. On the other hand, if you asked me about kidney function, I would have to consult the medical literature before giving you an answer.

The process to bring a drug from discovery stage to regulatory approval is very long and drawn out. Unlike in your fantasy world where it seems you imagine that each time a chemist mixes up a new compound, he then rushes off to the FDA to get permission to make it into pills and sell it, in the real world, chemists mix up hundreds of compounds that are then painstakingly screened before the most promising among them is selected for further testing. This discovery process takes years. Once the most promising drug candidates are selected, they undergo several more years of testing--first, on cells, then on animals, and only then on humans in phase 1 trials. Fewer than 1% of all prototype drugs (including vaccines) make it past phase 1 trials. In the rare cases where a drug prototype does not get nixed, the journey from discovery to regulatory approval can theoretically take ten years--but only if all the stars line up. In reality, the process takes 15 or 20 years (or more). Furthermore, a drug cannot be used in a specific group of people unless it has been tested in that group. So, for example, if a vaccine is tested in adults between ages 18 and 65, it can only be administered to that group, and not to anyone who is not within that age range. In addition, most countries have a requirement that drugs have to be tested on their own citizens before they will license those drugs for sale in their countries.

Anti-vax fearmongers like Barbara Loe Fisher and her ilk do not want people to be educated about the processes of FDA regulation, medical research, how drugs and vaccines work, etc. etc. Once again, try to apply some logical thought here. The anti-vax movement is a leftist idea. Radical leftists love for people to die--their ideal world does not contain humans. And they are trying to scare you into not protecting your children against diseases that are responsible for countless millions of deaths throughout history. Why on earth do you feel that they have your children's best interests at heart?

You hurt children.

Really? Do you have evidence that would stand up in a court of law that I have ever harmed a child? Do not go around accusing people of crimes when you have no evidence that said crimes took place.

You “know” facts to be true in areas of unknowable uncertainty. Vaccines will never be a certain science. Ever. It is innate.

I do not think even you understand what you are trying to say. I'm not going to try to interpret it.

The doctor had his license revoked. The effect is if you research vaccines, then one’s life will be destroyed. Instead, your license should be pulled for an arrogance harmful to children.

Wakefield was not trying to research vaccines. He subjected a few children to dangerous invasive medical procedures. He was not using an approved research protocol. He never consulted an ethics board prior to that "research." The dangerous procedures he inflicted on those children had nothing to do with the testing of vaccine safety, and no child participating in a real vaccine safety trial would ever be subjected to such abusive treatment. His license to practice medicine was pulled for very good cause. I don't know about you, but there is no way I would trust a psychopathic "doctor" who is willing to perform unapproved unethical and dangerous experiments on *my* children.

Fallacy of Authority. I know PhD medical researchers. They could not organise a thought outside of biology. They are whack job liberals sucking on Govt OPM.

Yeah, right. It is a favorite tactic of those trying to argue against science to fall back on claims of logical fallacies when they cannot actually refute any facts. When a bona fide expert makes a statement based on his/her knowledge and experience within their field of expertise, he or she is not, in fact, committing a logical fallacy. Your claim of knowing PhD medical researchers is irrelevant--just because I know veterinarians does not make me an expert in animal health. And your claim that Ph.D. researchers are clueless outside of biology has a rather false ring to it. Stupid people are not accepted into PhD programs. It is also an assumption that most people who work for government are liberal. I have not done a study to determine the breakdown of liberal vs. conservative in government, but I do see plenty of other conservatives every day when I come to work at my government job.

You “feel” for the children. So others should harm their children over your feelings. The problem with science is you are not allowed a single error. And you just had your fallacy.

There is nothing wrong with being motivated by a strong feeling that children should not suffer and die from preventable diseases. And your statement that "science is... not allowed a single error" only shows how profoundly you do not understand the scientific method. Humans are fallible--hence, the effort to incorporate very robust systems of checks and balances into the scientific method. Also, I have no clue what "fallacy" you are going on about--so I must conclude that the "fallacy" is the standard fall-back position of those who cannot refute an argument based on facts.

And since you cannot present any facts to refute the assertion that vaccines save lives, I think there is not much reason to spend more time on this.

Do not take that last statement as an invitation to flood this thread with anti-vax nonsense. Because I feel very strongly that anti-vaxxers are a direct threat to children, I will continue to refute anti-vax propaganda.

Abstract

Universal hepatitis B vaccination was recommended for U.S. newborns in 1991; however, safety findings are mixed. The association between hepatitis B vaccination of male neonates and parental report of autism diagnosis was determined. This cross-sectional study used weighted probability samples obtained from National Health Interview Survey 1997-2002 data sets. Vaccination status was determined from the vaccination record. Logistic regression was used to estimate the odds for autism diagnosis associated with neonatal hepatitis B vaccination among boys age 3-17 years, born before 1999, adjusted for race, maternal education, and two-parent household. Boys vaccinated as neonates had threefold greater odds for autism diagnosis compared to boys never vaccinated or vaccinated after the first month of life. Non-Hispanic white boys were 64% less likely to have autism diagnosis relative to nonwhite boys. Findings suggest that U.S. male neonates vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine prior to 1999 (from vaccination record) had a threefold higher risk for parental report of autism diagnosis compared to boys not vaccinated as neonates during that same time period. Nonwhite boys bore a greater risk.

Cancer risk associated with simian virus 40 contaminated polio vaccine. - PubMed - NCBI

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10472327

Anticancer Res. 1999 May-Jun;19(3B):2173-80.
Cancer risk associated with simian virus 40 contaminated polio vaccine.
Fisher SG1, Weber L, Carbone M.
Author information
Abstract
BACKGROUND:

The presence of SV40 in monkey cell cultures used in the preparation of the polio vaccine from 1955 through 1961 is well documented. Investigations have consistently demonstrated the oncogenic behavior of SV40 in animal models. Early epidemiologic studies were inadequate in demonstrating an increase in cancer incidence associated with contaminated vaccine. Recently, investigators have provided persuasive evidence that SV40 is present in human ependymomas, choroid plexus tumors, bone tumors, and mesotheliomas, however, the etiologic role of the virus in tumorigenesis has not been established.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Using data from SEER, we analyzed the incidence of brain tumors, bone tumors, and mesotheliomas from 1973-1993 and the possible relationship of these tumors with the administration of the SV40 contaminated vaccine.
RESULTS:

Our analysis indicates increased rates of ependymomas (37%), osteogenic sarcomas (26%), other bone tumors (34%) and mesothelioma (90%) among those in the exposed as compared to the unexposed birth cohort.
CONCLUSIONS:

These data suggest that there may be an increased incidence of certain cancers among the 98 million persons exposed to contaminated polio vaccine in the U.S.; further investigations are clearly justified.
