(AP) - Hundreds of grumbling parents facing a threat of jail lined up at a courthouse Saturday to either prove that their school-age kids already had their required vaccinations or see that the youngsters submitted to the needle. The get-tough policy in the Washington suburbs of Prince George's County was one of the strongest efforts made by any U.S. school system to ensure its youngsters receive their required immunizations. Two months into the school year, school officials realized that more than 2,000 students in the county still didn't have the vaccinations they were supposed to have before attending class. So Circuit Court Judge C. Philip Nichols ordered parents in a letter to appear at the courthouse Saturday and either get their children vaccinated on the spot or risk up to 10 days in jail. They could also provide proof of vaccination or an explanation why their kids didn't have them. By about 8:30 a.m., the line of parents stretched outside the courthouse in the county on the east side of Washington. Many of them complained that their children already were properly immunized but the school system had misplaced the records. They said efforts to get the paperwork straightened out had been futile. "It was very intimidating," Territa Wooden of Largo said of the letter. She said she presented the paperwork at the courthouse Saturday and resolved the matter. <CLICK LINK FOR FULL STORY> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twa Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 The schools are getting rediculous about immunizations. There are public health issues,but they are too inflexible in many cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a little FYI for you...males are more likely to be damaged from the neuro toxins in the vaccines. I would do some serious research into what is in the vaccines and what they have been linked to before you go defending throwing parents in jail for exercising their 4th amendment right.

I think it sucks that my child has to be exposed to illness just because some rednecks out there are either too lazy or too paranoid to get their children's vaccined. (vacined, is that a word?)

Look, vaccinations are not good for you, nor do they actually work. Take a look at the Sarkozy thread where I listed the ingredients in them. I want you to tell me which of those ingredients you think I should want in my kids body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think you might consider the policies that expose your kid to illness first before you address vaccinations....but I guess that ain't popular.

Well, since you vaccinate, you should be fine. It is quite humorous to me that it is actually the opposite that your vaccinated kid, who emits the virus from his/her pores, exposes my kid to things that she would otherwise not come in contact with. I know, it is immunity by commnunity, perhaps the dumbest thing i've ever heard of. As long as it makes sense to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPwr44 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 exposes my kid to things that she would otherwise not come in contact with. And you know this how? While you're at it hotshot, work up the winning lotto numbers for me? BTW, how do you think the spread of smallpox,measles,polio got stopped? Was it immunizing the population or did the government decide we'd suffered enough and quit implanting diseases in the food and water?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosperity Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 may be harsh, but the vaccinations must happen unless there are religious reasons (or med reasons) apathy, laziness, and extreme paranoia are not excuses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curlinga Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 While I think Ken generally goes overboard with the whole conspiracy theory thing, I do feel for some of these parents. I'm a SLP and I work with children with autism. Several of my students' parents refuse to vaccinate their other children because they believe the vaccines caused their child's autism. CDC and other medical researchers have not found a definite link between vaccines & autism; however, that doesn't mean that vaccinations are safe for everyone. I heard a doctor explain it this way...some people cannot take penicillian because they have major negative reactions to it. Why is it so far fetched to think that some children will react negatively to vaccinations? More research is clearly needed. I will be interested to see how the PG county courts/school system deals with the parents in this situation. I do believe in vaccinations (both my boys are up to date on their shots), but I don't expect parents to blindly follow vaccination protocols after seeing their child (or children) regress after receiving the shots. I guess the question is...does a parents' reservation about vaccines & autism constitute a valid medical reason for a waiver? I think it does, but it will be interesting to see if PG county agrees.

Prosperity Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 "CDC and other medical researchers have not found a definite link between vaccines & autism; however, that doesn't mean that vaccinations are safe for everyone." there is no correlation between vaccination and autism, the idea simply has no solid basis. Maybe not everyone will be perfectly unaffected by negative symptoms, but probably 99.9+% of the population, unless you have good reason to believe you are part of that <0.01% then you are being irrational by ignoring the vaccine. I heard a doctor explain it this way...some people cannot take penicillian because they have major negative reactions to it. Why is it so far fetched to think that some children will react negatively to vaccinations? More research is clearly needed. research takes time, what makes you think we haven't done enough.

Larry Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I would do some serious research into what is in the vaccines and what they have been linked to before you go defending throwing parents in jail for exercising their 4th amendment right. Uh, my copy of the 4th amendment seems to be missing the part that mentions the right to send disease carriers into a room where society forces other people to send their children.
