Isn’t it ironic that the school nurse can’t give my kid an aspirin without my permission, but major vaccinations are the purvue of the government school?

Oh… and who’s paying for all the forced vaccinations? And… who’s benefiting from the payment of all the vaccinations? The drug companies selling the vaccinations? Follow the money… and it starts to smell a bit fishy.

BTW. My kids attend a private Lutheran grade school. We don’t have to deal with these kinds of threats from the government school system.

So if a kid isn’t vaccinated and gets the measels, how is that a threat to the school district where the vast majority of kids are vaccinated?

White said the school system, with about 132,000 students, has been trying for two years to get parents to comply with state law. That law allows children to skip vaccines if they have a medical or religious exemption. It was unclear how many medical or religious exemptions were involved.

One of my questions is how does lack of vaccination constitute a truancy charge. Another is when did it seem reasonable to throw the parent in jail for 10 days if a kid is truant? How is the parent supposed to make the kid go to school when he’s in jail?

But again, the main point seems to be that vaccinations have risks that need re-examining, and the state wants to throw people in jail before those risks are re-examining and force parents to buy vaccines where they may not feel comfortable with them.

I am not familiar with Maryland law, so I could be wrong on this point, but depending on how his ruling is worded it could be thrown out. Most states do make exemptions for religious reasons and if he didn’t allow for that exemption his ruling will be tossed.
