People who refuse shots, usually refuse government education, too.

I went to public school, I don't really know how my parents got away with it. I think there was some exemption you could claim back then on religious grounds. You know I didnt even finish school because I got married when I was 16. So I really don't know how all that worked. I just know I never saw a doctor or had shots until i got married.

It is only within the last several years that they have cracked down and refuse the child admissions to school. I don't know when you attended, but children are required to have all vaccinations, now. Times do change.
 
Must have been somewhere in the 90's they started cracking down.
 
In CO you can still get your child in the schools without the stuff, but you have to get an exception.

In some states it is simply, do it or don't come here...

You're assuming that only one person in the institution would have refused the shots. If one does it there may be several, who then would be exposed. The risk to public health is unacceptable.

This is wrong, you do NOT restrict people's freedom based on non-violent hypothetical threats. The guy who gets sick a fair amount and gets colds would probably be better to stay home as he COULD infect me, yet he has a right to go out and support himself and there are hundreds of people I am going to come into non-physical contact with each day and little certainty that none have colds or even symptoms or even signs as it has not yet been known to them but they could still be infectious.

This is very dangerous ground to be entering...

ok, it is dangerous ground

does the right of an individual to spread disease override an individuals right to a relatively disease free environment

if a person is contagious, then they should take precautions not to spread their disease (mask/gloves etc.)

or do you think that it should be ok for contagious adults to spread their disease to the disease vulnerable (the young, old and anyone recovering from a disease)

some religions don't believe in contagion, so they come from the stand point of there religious freedom to practice there belief.
 
I am only telling you that some metaphysical religions do not believe in disease as a reality. That is there religious belief. So based on the Constitution do religions have a right to practice that belief or not. I didnt advocate it. I just asked the question.:rolleyes:

Well do christian scientists sleep around and spread aids to people?
 
This guy I know grew up on a compound and he doesn't believe in getting shots, he says the vaccinations are unsafe, he also is against the FDA and says I should grow my own food and can it, he says the government puts a lot of unsafe chemicals & hormones in food and I should be very wary. He is very religious but anti-government. I suppose he could be arrested for not going to doctors and not getting shots. He is also against paying taxes, Im not sure how that fits into his religious beliefs...he he:rolleyes:

He would not be arrested under any laws that I have seen in any state for not getting the shots. His kids, in some states (very few actually), wouldn't be able to attend the public schools without the shots and he'd have to find some other educational experience. But it seems to me that somebody that against the government probably already has.
