It depends on which state you live though. One or two state sonly allow for medical exemptions and require a doctors note. Other states allow for a combo of religious, medical, and philosophical, or all 3. Yes, Danielle. It depends on which state you live though.

I'm trying to figure out how to follow you, I don't want to miss anything. Maybe I will subscribe? Anyway, can they do this? That seems over the line - what happened to our freedom? I sure wouldn't want to go to jail, but I would probably move if I could. I sure wouldn't put the toxins in my kids! Thanks for the post! Have a great week :) Hi… new reader here.

While your kids may remain healthy and even get over some of these infectious diseases, they can harm those who are not as lucky. The goal of most vaccines is what is known as a herd immunity, while your kids may not die if exposed to Measles, Mumps, Rubella, or whatever you refuse to vaccinate against, there are many immunocompromised individuals that can die if exposed to your child who is carrying the disease, even if that immunocompromised child has been vaccinated. There are many individuals that are highly at risk for catching and dying from these diseases, and these laws are meant to protect them. Plus, there is no empirical data to support a connection of thimerosal use and any type of autism or brain damage. Plus, vaccinations do not even contain thimerosal or any mercury derivative for that matter any more. Be careful with this level of propaganda.

The chances of vaccinations harming your kid are about the same as the chances of them catching highly contagious and potentially fatal illnesses. I've had all my shots, my children have had all theirs, and none of us have any brain damage or toxic levels of mercury (we even eat fish!). Still, it should be up to the parents. It's a risky choice, but one a parent is entitled to make. I don’t know.
