Ban The Unvaccinated From Public.

Thank god. The state finally implementing some restrictions for these unfortunate kids with thick as muck parents.

Yes this is in Kentucky but don't fry me, chicken.

I think mine had diphtheria, tetanus, polio and whooping cough as babies. MEASLES, mumps, rubella at about 13 months and hib (meningitis) at 18 months plus a preschool lot.

All childhood infectious diseases, as far as I can remember, have an incubation period when the child is not ill but can pass the illness on to others. An immunosuppressed person or pregnant mother can contract the illness during the incubation period. I think there is a lawsuit against Disney corp in USA after a child on chemotherapy caught something from another child and possibly died. Not sure where I saw this though. I do know when I was working in NYC all children were banned from visiting patients because of a Rubella outbreak

I think all contagious infections have an incubation period....certainly flu, the common cold and norovirus do

very true calmck

I haven’t read every post but I wonder if those who say unvaccinated children should be excluded from school realise that many of them are the children of immigrants?

[Rockrose]

I was not allowed the whooping cough vaccination because of the high risk of developing Epilepsy.

[ummmm]

Cal - My dad had never had any of the childhood diseases. They said he was a carrier. He could pass it on but not get it himself.

[spathiphyllum]

being an immigrant or not, get vaccinated. this issue has nothing to do with immigration.

RR you really are one in a million aint ya babe

I stated the other day on another thread - the Anti Vaxxers are also trying to influence the young, the next generation of parents, therein lies the danger.

Ethnicity, Religion and conscience all have a part to play, scare mongering for all it is usually baseless is a powerful tool.

[Rockrose]

Please don't call me Babe, you haven't earned the right.

[spathiphyllum]

true mamny, true, but i feel the only topic immigrants can bring to the discussion is that of global health system where countries agree on certain vaccinations that are to be "global standards"

Apart from that the political aspect of immigration is moot to vaccination

[spathiphyllum]

what i meant by that RR was.. it's very rare, much like anaphylactic shock is from a vaccination. You are literally one in a million

i know that is from whooping cough and not the vacination, but i would like to know how it's different if it is

[Calicogirl]

there are medical rarities everywhere Spath, posting links to statistics doesn't change anything.

[Rockrose]

None of my siblings had the whooping cough and some other vaccines, so no I am not one in a million.
Also as previously said you are very dismissive to allergic reactions until you have a severe one and nearly lose your life perhaps you should not be.

[ummmm]

I'm allergic to bees. A little tiny bee can kill me. I'm not scared of bees though.

[spathiphyllum]

I've never been stung by a bee or wasp, so maybe one day i shall discover the severity. However, that doesn't not take away from the fact that if vaccination decline disease increases. A host can help a disease evolve potentially to the point of being stronger than vaccinations.
