It needs to.be required to put kids in school. Can't be endangering other kids. If you don't want to vaccinate, home school them.
And especially daycares, where you have infants unable to receive certain vaccinations due to age.

Private schools can always do what they want on the vaccine question. So problem solved without segregation.
Also, people who don't vaccinate their children are willfully ignorant buffoons who risk the health and well being of others. They should be sued if their kid gets others who can't be vaccinated (at least for shite like Measles, Mumps, and the like).

Non-vaccies will be welcome at my international educational empire - once I get it up and running.
But I don't like interacting with kids I'm not tutoring so i don't care about the vaccinations

Is that even confirmed at this point?
It's irrelevant either way. It doesn't spread like this without morons not vaccinating their kids.

Its funny what some people are comfortable forcing other people to do (through gov't proxy). Personally, I'm very reluctant to tell anyone else what to do with their children. They don't wanna vaccinate them? Fine. frick em.

It's not illegal aliens. It's these wilfully ignorant soccer mom types who think that some study who showed correlation between vaccines and autism diagnosis means that the vaccines caused the autism.
Blame Jenny McCarthy, not Jose.

I'm not when it directly endangers other children, especially those that depend upon herd immunity to not contract and die from diseases like measles that had been eradicated.
As I said though, if they don't want to. Fine. But then you should forfeit your "right" to a public education because you don't give two fricks about the safety of anyone else's children.

Pretty much my thoughts - hard to figure out where the line is drawn in regards to what people should have to do with their children, but I don't think vaccinations cross it.
- particularly when the argument made isn't about the health of the unvaccinated child

Infants under 12 months of age and those with autoimmune disorders cannot be vaccinated for things like measles. Antivaxers are putting those children at risk with their bullshite.
Your rights end where my begin should apply here. Unvaccinated children who can be vaccinated should not be able to put those who can't be vaccinated at risk.

Not vaccinating is like giving kids a loaded gun to play with. Those who oppose it are haters of the 2nd amendment, while kids accidentally shoot kids without guns and parents wonder why.

Exactly. It's been easy for the anti-vaccine people to preach about their freedoms while being protected by herd immunity, but I doubt they would have been preaching the same thing back in the days of the polio epidemic. And I doubt they think about how many people were killed by measles before a vaccine was invented.
And I totally get people not wanting to get the flu vaccine. I'm fine with that, because it's a crap shoot on whether it protects against the current strain or not, but diseases like measles and polio are a different beast.

They're gonna love it when measles is no longer eradicated and because they chose not to vaccinate their kids they'll have to sit at home with them. We've already been briefed that children with waivers or who are not complaint will not be allowed to come to school if our district has an outbreak.

I thought I was on the Poli Board reading this thread and was shocked nobody had yet blamed this on illegal immigrants, then I saw I'm on the OT Board.

It bothers me that this was thought to be eradicated in 2000, but then these asshats have to mess it up.

Spleen, look up. There's one poster who thinks it's illegal aliens.

You do realize a <1 year old can't just come down with the measles, right? They'd have to be exposed to someone with it, most likely another kid in the daycare above the age of 1 that did not get vaccinated.

Even in the days of the polio epidemic, vaccinations were not mandatory.
Look, I am all for local school districts, pediatricians, day care centers, etc. all requiring vaccinations for attendees. But the principle of this is the federal government should not be telling parents how to raise their kids, including things like vaccinations.
I know some on here believe 'it takes a village' and whatnot, and that's fine. But I'm a parent, and I'll be damned if you get to tell me how to raise my kid. You didn't sit up all night with a screaming child, you don't get to tell me I'm not patient enough. etc etc.
If the government can say what my kid gets as far as vaccinations, then the government gets to say what I can feed my child. And as we can all see from a certain school lunch program, that's asking for stupid.
