>> If you don't want to vaccinate your child, don't send them to public school. Rules should be for all not some.
@SenseOfHumor: I agree completely - it's each parent's right to choose to vaccinate or not. It also doesn't bother me if parents electing "no" to vaccination send their kids to public schools, as my kids are vaccinated and won't pick up whatever is floating around. As long as public assistance is not being used to pay for your kids' medical care when they pick up, say, the measles, I'm cool with it. How many low-income folks will show up at hospitals with sick kids, and use public money to treat what could have been prevented with free vaccinations? I don't know what that answer is, and probably don't really want to know.
@buffaloglenn:
Public money pays for vaccinations. Medicaid pushes parents to get them, like herding mindless sheep. Most people who refuse vaccinations are anti-establishment.
@Mahm: That is certainly true, that public money does cover a lot of the vaccinations, which are far, far cheaper than hospital stays. Again, as I stated, go for it - do what you want with your own kids health; it's your right as a parent. Just don't come later (and I don't mean you personally, as I know you are a responsible parent) and dial 911 when they have the measles, or flu, etc.
