Our country has being run by idiots for the past 40 years, who "we the people" voted into office. Congress make the laws and right now Congress is breaking too many of them

Everyone FAKES religion. Religions are NOT real.

Ya don''t need vaccinations when ya got JEEsus!

Go ahead & let these parents opt out. It will be natural selection in action. These kids may eventually be killed or rendered infertile by infectious disease, then they will not be able to pass their families%u2019 irrational fears onto the next generation.

You need to visit a country in the "3rd" world out there that doesn''t have vaccines for diddley-squat and then remember how it was when polio was rampant in America.

Rachel Magni, a 35-year-old stay-at-home mother in Newton, Mass., said she is afraid vaccines could harm her children and %u201Coverwhelm their bodies.%u201D Even though she attends a Protestant church that allows vaccinations, Magni pursued a religious exemption so her 4-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son, who have never been vaccinated, could attend preschool.

Keep these non vaccinated kids at home if you are so worried about their health...don''t endanger other kids.
SusanHelit...good point. Maybe these parents should walk through an "old" cemetery and see all the headstones of children that died before age 4...there are many many of them!

"Religious exemptions" to vaccinations? Funny. What next? I never heard of that when I was in school.

I guess it''s ok to have your unvaccinated kid at school in contact with other kids.

"..Christian Scientists and certain fundamentalists, for example - have genuine religious objections to medicine.."

Woah. That makes sense. Christian Scientists are way out there. Kids don''t have any choice of course.

My grandmother lived in those times. She knows what it''s like before vaccines. Sad, sad, scary times. So many dead children. We''ve forgotten, and we''re letting the boogeyman scare us without remembering what horrors vaccines prevent.

I had a chiropractor who survived childhood polio. He was lucky - he lived. He walks twisted up, all kinds of pain - but he lived.

Here''s a sad story too, Susan. A family''s child had a reaction to the dirty DPT and ended up with cerebral palsy so of course they didn''t vaccinate the next child and they were stationed in another country and the unvaccinated child contracted pertussis as an infant and died. Tragic story. It''s scary to vaccinate kids but it''s even scarier not to.
