IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT I HAVE TO SAY, THEN WHY ARE YOU HERE?
Go play in someone else's playground. I don't share my toys here, your comments are spammed and I never see them, and you need to get a hobby.

Please understand this:  Every state has philisophical, medical, or religous exemptions (or a combination of all three) that permits your child to attend public schools without his or her vaccinations! 

It’s a myth, it’s a lie – it’s NOT TRUE.

Please check your state’s laws here:  http://www.vaccinetruth.net/

I reside in Ohio, so all I needed to do was write a simple letter: 

Vaccine Refusal Form We, (your names here), give notice to (your city here) City Schools (located in your city/state here) stating that we have chosen not to vaccinate our child, (CHILD’S NAME HERE), because we are philosophically opposed to the concept of vaccines.

 We maintain this is a responsible and ethically justifiable position for the following reasons: 

  • vaccination is a medical intervention performed on a healthy child that has the ability to result in injury or death of that child;
  • the fact that there can be no guarantee that the deliberate introduction of killed or live microorganisms into the body of a healthy child will not compromise the health or cause the death of that child, either immediately or in the future;
  • no predictors have been identified by medical science that can give advance warning that injury or death may occur in any individual child;
  • there are no guarantees that the vaccine will indeed protect the child from contracting a disease; and
  • there is an absence of adequate scientific knowledge regarding the way vaccines singly, or in combination, act in the human body at the cellular and molecular level.  

Therefore, we believe that vaccination is a medical procedure that could reasonably be termed as experimental each time it is performed on a healthy child. 

Our state law makes provisions for non-vaccination of children whose parents object to vaccines for religious or philosophical reasons. 

§3313.671 – Required Immunizations; Exceptions
B.4 A pupil who presents a written statement of the pupil’s parent or guardian in which the parent or guardian objects to the immunization for good cause, including religious convictions, is not required to be immunized. *see attached

 We accept full responsibility for the health of our child, and because of philosophical conviction, do not wish our child vaccinated. In the event of any infectious condition, our child would of course remain at home. We further understand that during the course of an outbreak of any so-called “vaccine preventable disease” would occur at your facility, our child is subject to exclusion from your facility for the duration of the outbreak.

Here is the state law that shows it is acceptable (see item #4 under section B):

  1. You are a great resource here! I’m so glad my boys are beyond this – however, I stand by my view that the H1N1 was indeed a trumped up non-event like you mentioned. Keep up the rant, you hard working mom!
