More Than 4 in 10 Republicans and a Third of Parents Now Oppose Schools Requiring Children to Get Vaccinated for Measles and Other Illness, Up Since the COVID-19 Pandemic Began
KFF ^ | December 16, 2022 | N/A

Posted on 02/01/2023 9:40:57 PM PST by DoodleBob

Amid controversies around the COVID-19 vaccine and growing distrust of public health authorities, more than four in ten Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, and a third of parents, now say they oppose requiring children in public schools to receive some childhood vaccines, up since 2019, a new KFF COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor survey finds.

Overall, nearly three in ten adults (28%) nationally now say that parents should be able to decide not to vaccinate their children for measles, mumps, and rubella rather than those vaccinations being required to attend public schools, up from 16% in a 2019 Pew Research Center poll conducted before the COVID-19 pandemic. Among parents, opposition to requiring those childhood vaccines now stands at 35%, up from 23% in 2019.

While most of the public still say that healthy children should be required to get those vaccines to attend public schools (71%), that share is down from 82% in 2019.

The growing opposition stems largely from shifts among people who identify as Republican or lean Republican, with 44% now saying parents should be able to opt out of those childhood vaccines, up from 20% in 2019. In contrast, the vast majority of Democrats and those who lean Democratic support requiring the vaccines for public school students (88%), little changed from 2019 (86%)

They want to put that crap into everything. If I had small children, no way I would allow them to be vaxxed

Not doubtful. They want to put mRNA into everything. There would be no way that would go into my kid

i could actually kick myself for being pushed by a doctor into letting my daughter get the merck gardasil vaccine a few years back (before wuhan) without researching it thoroughly first.

had i done my due diligence, i would have found out that the pharma, big med suppressed side effects of it were potentially horrific, and refused it.

fortunately, in this case, God didn’t let me (and her) suffer the consequences of my ignorance, at least so far.

Sorry, but if you are trusting your Medical Professionals or the Government after the Covid fiasco, you're not too smart.

As for me and my family, not more "Vaccines", no more Flu shots.

I trust them to put COVID "Vaccines" in Flu shots or Vaccines going forward.

if it’s true that 44% of Reps would forego measles, mumps and rubella vaccines, I’d say the dems and commies have done one hell of a job brainwashing those 44.

Mumps, rubella and measles can all cause miscarriages, still births and pretty severe birth defects in the unborn such as deafness, blindness, cerebral palsy, encephalitis, sterility and panencephalitis (that kills kids when they reach 9yo). What an evil way to intentionally wipe out a population.

How do you protect your children from carriers bringing measles up from our southern border?

You may noticed that I’ve often referred to the medical community as a cult. And I’ve said that as one who is not excessively smart.

Historically (prior to the vax), parents were generally not reluctant to get the vaccination series — vaccines that have been subject to decades of use and acceptance. Notwithstanding the recent distrust, the article conflates recent vax concerns to the otherwise accepted vaccines prior to 2019

considering i’ve seen articles saying they’re going to include the covid jab in with the other vaccines, i wouldn’t get anywhere near those people

they’re literally trying to kill off as many people as they can under the guise of ‘healthcare’

The position of a Free Republican on this topic is easy. Of course, the vaccines should NOT be required.

If they work, the vaxxed have nothing to fear from the unvaxxed.

Dr Naomi Wolf: Children Under 12 Received Unlawful mRNA Vaccine (Jan 31, 2023)

Pfizer lost 43 Billion $ (15% drop) in stock value during January.

Between Project Veritas and the recent book exposing the data they were forced to release it was a BAD MONTH.

The number of "required" childhood vaccines these days is nothing like what you remember with your kids, let alone yourself.

With what I think I know now about Big Parma, Big Public Health, and Big Medicine after Covid, all this stuff should be questioned.

“What an evil way to intentionally wipe out a population.”

Yes, exactly. The mRNA vaccine does far more damage than any of those diseases. If I had young children, after the mandatory JAB, I’d do the same thing.

Tell them to put the Jab in their own ass.

We just witnessed the worst medical mass crime against humanity in the history of mankind.

You think you know everything about so-called vaccines, huh?

Oh well, people now have been reading a lot. 

All so-called vaccines nor shots, Covid-19 jabs and boosters, flu shot, HPV shot, Hepatitis B shot, etc., etc., etc., are all not proven unnecessary nor can help boost the immune system.  They are all biological weapons full of toxins.

Dr. Stefan Lanka: also claims viruses as pathogens are false including SARS-CoV-2.

https://greatreject.org/dr-stefan-lanka-claims-about-viruses-are-false/

In 2015, German microbiologist Dr. Stefan Lanka, Ph.D., put out a €100,000 show me proof if measle virus exist.  Then young Dr. David Bardens, MD, who first won per initially won per ruling by district court of Ravensburg, award was overturned by the Higher Regional Court (Oberlandesgericht) Stuttgart in 2016.

Read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bardens

Dr. Stefan Lanka. Ph.D., proven that measle virus don't exist.

If measle, mums and rubella viruses are not pathogens, why even injection your children with MMR shot?  What are in it?

The annual flu vaccine that’s been around for decades has conditioned the public that vaccines are okay... any vaccine is “good for you.”

”So roll up your sleeve... you’ll feel a pinch.”

You have obviously drank the antivax koolaid.
The biggest reason we do not have the sky high infant/child mortality rates anymore is, in large part, due to vaccines.
Measles is one of the most contagious viruses around. It is a real virus. The disease has side effects that can cripple or kill the person that gets it.
Rubella (German measles, aka 3 day measles) can cause birth defects or kill an unborn baby.
Mumps is a real virus, if not recognized, can cause sterility in the victim.
Hib (hemophilias b influenza) (sp) virus causes meningitis in infants and children and kills them.
Tetanus, a real bacteria, causes muscle spasms so hard that it breaks bones and stops a person from breathing and they die a horrible, painful death.
Diphtheria, causes swelling, open sores and restrictions in the respiratory tract that chokes its victim to death.
I could go on, but I won’t as these are a few of the real viruses and bacteria that we know that causes disability, and death in children.
Tell the mother in the Seattle area (2010-2012) that lost her one month old child to pertussis because the infant was too young to start the DTaP series, that vaccines don’t help.
Real vaccines do, in fact, save lives.
So if you choose not to have your children vaccinated, they run the real risk of becoming disabled or die from one of the very real viruses or bacteria that we’ve been vaccinating for, for decades.
This experimental dna cocktail that was pushed is not a vaccine, not in practice or in the real definition of a vaccine. It is a crime against humanity pushed by the government.

This is because the medical community lost ALL creditability.

I do not trust them at all and do not want any vaccine inserted into my children.
