Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 I live in NY and have not heard about this case. I'm assuming that the judge was just ignorant and played the outcome by her words. As far as I know , it is illegal for anyone to question what religion you are and just as long as you fill out the religious exception form- your children are able to go to public school without any problems.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 As I said in my prior post - NY is strict but my girlfrieds that have not vaccinated at all with an 11 , 14 and 16 year old all in public school have never had problems.. I did however have to change my pediatritian and thank God found a pediatritian that works indepentently and never brings up vaccines to me - she respects my decision to not vaccinate. I don't think its a NY problem- I think it has to do with each individual doctor, lawyer, judge... all people have their views so we just have to try to dodge the idiots lol .

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Wow. That court just ate her alive didn't they. I'm curious of what would've happened if the mother brought medical journals showing what vaccinations are made from (and how they're made) and then broke out scriptures from the bible on how our bodies should be treated as temples and we should do no harm to them. (Don't have my bible with me at this moment so I didn't quote them). I hope for other New Yorkers that more people aren't going to be questioned. Lawyers can be really tough on this issue.-K.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 How do they equate taking Motrin to relieve a symptom with a "preventive" (and not guaranteed)medical procedure? And these are professionals?? Absolutely not ever moving to NY. It's time to help them with a philosophical exemption.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 I think it all depends on the school or school district. If they are cool about it, you are in luck. If not, and you have to appeal the decision or go to court, you will most likely lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 She was doomed when she mentioned the autism/vax connection. Right there, she would not get the religious exemption and shame on her lawyer for not making sure she never discussed ANYTHING of a philosophical or scientific nature in a court of NY law and now for making a precedent for other families, making it that much harder on the rest who go after her. For shame on her lawyer. The mother can send her child to the Waldorf School in Garden City, a private school that isn't exceedingly pricey for preschool. They would welcome her there. - arlynn > > I think it all depends on the school or school district. If they are cool about it, you are in luck.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 In court, under penalty of perjury, she was asked whether she had read about the vaccine/autism connection. She said she had, but did not necessarily believe it. If she said she hadn't heard about the controversy, that would have looked suspicious, since most people have heard about it. " She also acknowledged that she had read articles about the possible link between vaccinations and autism but had not decided if the claim had any scientific basis. " One day I read an article about, yes, you should immunize; and then the next day I read an article about, no, you shouldn't immunize, " she told the court. " Ultimately, all I can go back to is if I believe in that we are divine in our design, immunizations are not necessary. " I think she did a really good job showing that it was a religious decision. Maybe she could have lied about taking Motrin for headaches, unless there was proof that she did. But Motrin for headaches doesn't actually have anything to do with her religious basis for not vaccinating. Clearly the judge had his mind made up ahead of time, and had to use stupid excuses such as Motrin and pierced ears. > > She was doomed when she mentioned the autism/vax connection.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 That is an absolute no no in New York. Anyone who does that is said to have a philosophical objection to the ingredients. In New York, the religious beliefs have to be against " the practice of vaccination " not based on anything specific about the vaccines themselves. > > I'm curious of what would've happened if the mother brought medical journals showing what vaccinations are made from (and how they're made) and then broke out scriptures from the bible on how our bodies should be treated as temples and we should do no harm to them.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 It's a New York problem because the way the law is written gives these people the power to do intrusive questioning and deny religious exemptions, if they so choose. They shouldn't have that power. For example, Indiana law specifically says that for a religious exemption, there is no requirement of proof. I don't think its a NY problem- I think it has to do with each individual doctor, lawyer, judge... all people have their views so we just have to try to dodge the idiots lol . > Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I don't want to argue, but, that really isn't true in that our NY School District did honor our religious objection to the poison ingredients of vaccines being injected into the holy temple of the body as against our religious beliefs that command to keep the human body a pure and holy temple, the vessel of God's spirit. This had everything to do with the poisons of the vaccines and the fact that they are being injected into the holy body. I do know that the minute someone starts talking scientifically about vaccines that immediately rules out a sincere and genuine religious belief in the school's mind. But, honestly, you need to know what is IN the vaccines and what they do with them in order to understand if they go against your religious beliefs or not, so there is a bit of a catch-22 there. You just cannot discuss them in a scientific way but **only** how they relate to your religious beliefs, b/c NY does not at this time have Philosophical Exemption provision. > > > > I'm curious of what would've happened if the mother brought medical journals showing what vaccinations are made from (and how they're made) and then broke out scriptures from the bible on how our bodies should be treated as temples and we should do no harm to them. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
