I agree Fallon, also it puts all of us at risk as well. Without the cp virus going around it increases our risks of getting shingles as adults.
jtee, well religiously, some Christians (others as well maybe) believe that God is all the protection our bodies need. There are also aborted fetus tissue in many vaccine, so pro-lifers and others as well believe this is morally wrong to inject into our children. I know Christian Scientists are one group for the God protextion only, Catholics are big with the fetuses. When you get a religious waiver though, you do not need to state your religion or have it signed by a pastor or priest verifying your religion.
They make it hard though, to get these waivers you must complete the process every year your child attends public or private schools, and college as well.
Medical are also yearly unless your doctor specifically states it is a lifetime waiver. Most docs will not do this though since they get money from vaccine comapanies.
We will not be able to get a medical waiver for Nichole even though she had a severe reaction to the vaccines. We were told that yes she had a reaction, yes it was severe, but if they give her the vaccine at a hospital they are comfortable if she has an anaphylactic shock episode including throat swelling and closing or seizures.
I am so glad they are comfortable with my child having seizures and not being able to breathe, aren't you?
