Vaccination exemptions are rising

[Guest guest]

There is a certain irony here. Every government in the world which has studied vaccines have discovered there is no link to autism. Every independent entity which has studdied vaccines has concluded there is no link between vaccines and autism except in a few limited cases where the researchers involved were being paid by lawyers for results or when the study was grossly flawed.

Parents, refusing to believe evidence by 137 scientists in 50 locations in 9 countries around the world that autism is genetic in origin, and refusing to believe governments which have peer reviewed this research and approved it, instead think for some odd reason that they know more than the world's most preeminent researchers.

Parents now risk their kids getting crippled by poloi.

Parents now risk their boys becoming sterile with mumps.

Parents now risk their daughters becoming sterile with chicken pox.

Parents now risk their daughters getting HPV and cancer.

Parents now risk their kids dying of measles.

Because these kids pose a danger to society, a time will come when they will be quarantined, or made to be home schooled and kept away from their peers.

Ironically, it is as though the kids will be made to behave like autistics for fear of them becoming autistic.

The most irnoic thing of all, however, is that when these unvaccinated kids start dying before they are able to reproduce, it will mean more autistics in the population and less non-autistics.

So parents work against themselves by not vaccinating their kids.

I suspect such parents will someday be charged with child endangerment and attempt to conspiracy to commit murder. Such parents are fools. Ignorant fools. And they deserve whatever is thrown at them to the fullest extent of the law.

Vaccination exemptions are rising

A growing number of California parents are choosing not to give their children routine vaccinations before they start kindergarten, increasing the risk of childhood disease outbreaks at hundreds of elementary schools, according to a published report. Much of the increase is coming from parents who send their children to schools in affluent areas and fear vaccinations can contribute to autism, according to a Los Angeles Times story published Saturday. Such a concern has been discounted by medical research. The newspaper found that vaccine exemptions, which allow children to attend schools without taking state- mandated shots, have more than doubled since 1997. Last fall, more than 10,000 kindergartners started school with vaccine exemptions, up from about 8,300 the previous school year. A decade earlier, the number was 4,318. Less than 2 percent of kindergartners at traditional public schools and Catholic schools had exemptions last fall - a figure that is much higher at other types of schools. More than 4 percent of kindergartners at other private schools and nearly 10 percent of those enrolling in charter schools were exempted. "(Parents) question traditional knowledge and feel empowered to make their own decisions for their families, not deferring to traditional wisdom," said Kristy Mack-Fett, assistant director of Ocean Charter School in Del Rey, near Marina del Rey, where nearly 40 percent of kindergartners entering the school were exempted from vaccines.

The Times found 1 in 11 elementary schools statewide may be at risk of an outbreak of an infectious disease. Still, it's a risk parents seem willing to take. "As a parent, I'd rather deal with my kid dealing with measles or mumps and sit with them in a hospital ... than taking your chances on a shot and having irreversible effects," Kim Hart, a mother of two in San Clemente, told the Times. A 7-year-old boy last year triggered a measles outbreak in San Diego when he came back from a family trip to Switzerland carrying the disease. Neither he nor his siblings had been vaccinated. Public health officials said the virus spread quickly because an unusually large percentage of students at the boy's school had not been vaccinated. Nearly 10 percent of the school's 376 students had personal-belief exemptions for vaccines. The debate over vaccination has played out in the media, with actress McCarthy saying she believes vaccines trigger autism. Her views are at odds with those of actress Peet, a spokeswoman for Every Child by Two, which promotes vaccinations. A special federal court last month ruled that the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine and vaccines that contained a mercury-based preservative were not connected to the autism that developed in three children. Public health experts say vaccination is crucial to the continued suppression of infectious diseases once prevalent through the U.S.
