If you choose to vaccinate your child(ren) then you shouldn’t worry about your them going to school with unvaccinated children, right? I personally think this is the right decision. People seem to willing to give up their freedom (as in your choice to do or not do something) and let the government decide for them. It is a slippery slope.

Vaccine requirements in schools aren’t about politics, they’re about protecting children, especially those who are most vulnerable. We should be following sound medical evidence and public-health expertise, not turning basic protections for kids into a political issue. This is a deeply troubling decision.

All because of performative “freedom” politics and widespread podcast bro misinformation which preys on vulnerable parents. Are seatbelt laws and traffic laws slavery? No, they are a necessary part of a functioning and healthy society that allows for reasonable, safe freedom of movement without reckless endangerment of lives. Vaccines represent freedom as well! Freedom from debilitating disease and crippling medical bills that often can go with severe illness. Our healthcare system is also NOT equipped to handle outbreaks and increased burden of disease. Ladapo isn’t going to be holding ANY parent’s hand at an ICU bedside, either. Absolute lunacy!

They should be scaling back all these vaccines that are required instead of being left up to the actual parent. Doesn’t mean you can’t get the vaccine for your child anyway.

I must say as a kid years ago we only had a couple immunizations prior to starting school. Most people have no idea that the top 10 drug companies profited over $535 billion dollars last year.

I had Chicken Pox and Measles and Mumps and lived through those diseases as a child. Wasn't pleasant but affected me a week. I was vaccinated one item at a time. It's all compounded currently. More vaccines in One super injection. Why? Ease of less trips to the doctor. Parents pay less doctor visits. Swimming against the current of public opinion, I advised my granddaughter to insist on only ONE vaccine at a time for my great grandson.
