They, and school districts.

No coverage.
No school.

I bet the kids get the shots PDQ.

If they go this route I assume the insurance companies and government will be glad to jump in and cover the millions of dollars of care and medical expenses for families when a child has an adverse reaction to a vaccine that permanently disables them?

Again, I'm not anti-vaccine but there is a debate that needs to be had. Unfortunately people aren't level headed enough to have it.

Dumbest anti-vac argument ever.

What about newborns or those with compromised immune systems?

So that policy is in place?

Thus, they acknowledge there can be severe life threatening and/ord life altering side effects of vaccines on what had been perfectly healthy children?

yeah, who do you think pays for medical care for severely disabled children, regardless of what caused it? Medicaid.

So you are ok sitting in a doctor's waiting room with your 9 month old knowing that some of the kids there were not vaccinated?


You realize how contagious measles is? Or that you could have just a sniffle and not the rash yet and be highly contagious? Or that the vaccine doesn't 100% mean you won't get it? Or that people with weakened immune systems(like those with cancer) can't get vaccines and depend on herd immunity so they don't get these diseases and die?


Also...if you were born before 1990...do you even know if YOU have adequate immunity? Some people need a booster MMR shot when they are adults to give them better immunity. I know this because I'm one of them. Had to have a bunch of bloodwork done when I became a nurse and it showed my measles titer was low(basically that I didn't have a strong immunity against it)....so I had to get another MMR shot.
