Exemptions for immunizations required in school are on the rise in the U.S., leading to concerns among medical experts that diseases like measles could soon make a comeback in many states.
In November, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that exemptions for immunizations required in school is the highest ever recorded in U.S. history – increasing to an average 3.0% in the 2022-2023 school year, with 10 states now reporting exemptions exceeding 5%. This leaves both vaccinated and unvaccinated children vulnerable to disease outbreaks including measles, experts say.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, lawmakers have introduced hundreds of pieces of legislation aimed at rolling back vaccine mandates, largely COVID-19 mandates, but some changes have also impacted childhood immunization requirements.
These legislative efforts largely prevented many statewide COVID-19 vaccine mandates… As of May 2023, Tennessee law now requires written informed consent by a parent or legal guardian for any person under the age of 18 to receive any vaccine.
Critics worry this added step of written consent creates an unnecessary barrier that may prevent many kids from getting the shots they need, including some of the most vulnerable kids such as cancer patients who often need extra doses of routine vaccines to mount a full immune response.

And how does that work?
The credibility of these “experts” has been annihilated. They have nobody but themselves to blame.
And, by the way, the quoted Dr Offit isn’t some rando. He is a member of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee and is a member of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Along with his colleagues Fred Clark and Stanley Plotkin, Offit invented RotaTeq, a pentavalent rotavirus vaccine manufactured by Merck & Co. Since 2006, RotaTeq has been one of two vaccines currently used against rotavirus. Offit defines alternative medicine as quackery, had become a leading advocate of childhood immunizations. rejects any role vaccines have in causing autism (he received a death threat and received protection by an armed guard during meetings at the CDC), and finally Offit advocates for the repeal of religious exemptions to vaccine requirements, saying that such exemptions amount to medical neglect.
The guys is a ghoul.
The fault of the Democrats.
Indeed.
Defund the CDC and FDA right now!
Government abuse meets pushback.
I bet they are excluding the invaders in the counts. They probably only require it of taxpayers’ children.
Why? Ban them from public schools (or government schools). The parents can home school them or send them to a private school instead.
Who’s to say the government isn’t adding a covid vaccine in with the regular childhood immunizations.
Would YOU trust your child’s life to FedZilla?
Exactly! They really screwed the pooch with the huge overreach during COVID and them aiding the theft of the election.
This is what it looks like when governments and their lapdogs in the public health profession lose the trust of the people.
Doctors worry their cash cow will evaporate.
If my kids were still young, I would end the vaccinations. I lost complete trust. It also makes me wonder about all those Sid deaths.
This is what happens when the Federal Government lies to the public and then coerces them to not only get themselves injected with a “Vaccine” that they claim is safe and effective. When in reality its neither.
Its going to take a very long time for these corrupt Federal Health agencies to regain any form of trust.
What are going on 9,000,000 illegals bringing in?
Anyone remember the illegal Chinese bio lab in California with all sorts of diseases including ebola? Only one illegal lab? All those carriers?
7 or 8 mRNA “vaccines” and counting?
Am I getting this right?
I wonder if childhood Autism is going to go down now?
I remember receiving the sugar cube polio vaccine, back when we could trust. I have met more than a few people in the medical, health care professions that KNOW the vaxxine is not just crap, but dangerous. My latest PCP doesn’t even mention it. I was lucky to inherit a very robust immune system. Every 2-3 years my wife will get the flu, and I don’t. Sometimes she jokes about the unfairness. I just shrug and make her some chicken soup.
The idea of changing my immune system with some gene therapy is NUTS.
When I was a teacher, I believed it was a good idea for the students to have those tried-and-true vaccines. Today, I would applaud any parent who avoids them. While there are still medical professionals that do the right thing, with the health and well-being of your child, there is no way to trust-but-verify that what is in the injection is what we all received when we were young.
Never mind about the illegal immigration
When 1-day old babies are injected with a Hepatitis B vaccine, the world has gone crazy.
You get Hep B from anal sex and dirty needles.
What doctors and nurses do parents have to worry will have anal sex and share their druggie needles with their babies? If that is the concern, no one should trust that hospital!
The far greater risk is from the unfettered inflow of illegals into this country.
Foreseeable.
The boy that cried wolf.
When they pushed this Covid lunacy, they damaged the greater cause by breaking trust: lies about effectiveness of vaccine, lies about safety, lies about Covid mortality. And when they coerced folks into compliance they made it worse.
Sadly, when the big bad wolf does come...
