Wow. Talk about a sheep. Vaccines are a PUBLIC health matter. If my child is vaccinated for chix pox (Varicella) but 50% of the class isn't and they all come down with chix pox, it is likely that my child will have some symptoms. This is why it benefits everyone to vaccinate.

While I do agree with vaccinating against those old childhood diseases, I am vehemently opposed to the HPV vaccine and I will use any exemption available and break any law to exempt my daughters from it.

I agree with this but you might not have the choice soon. Gardasil will probably not be optional soon. You can't take the religious exemption if you choose some vaccines and not others.

Why are you opposed to the HPV vaccine. If you can give your daughters protection against something that can cause cervical cancer, why is that a problem?

Not a judgement just curious. If in the future there is a vaccination for breast or ovarian cancer, would you be opposed to that as well?

Here's proof for you.....it's DATA. Your chances of getting sick don't diminish at all just because you've been vaccinated.

And kids are dying without "cause" after being vaccinated:

And because ex-industry experts are speaking out. The are scared enough NOT to even divulge their names in the interview.

Do you really think that the largest industry in the world is going to get up in front of you on the news and tell you that it doesn't work? Healthcare is the most thriving industry out there and they would never tell you something that would jeopardize the faith in western medicine. Once the "vaccine" theory goes away, everyone will KNOW that western medicine is a complete joke.

There is no vaccine that can stop cells from aging and prevent their inability to protect themselves. In my mind, it is miss leading to say a vaccine against HPV will prevent cervical cancer when there is nothing definitive on what causes cancer. Besides, too man young girls have died after taking Gardisil (~100). Also, pediatricians have stopped recommending that the HPV vaccine be included in the standard protocol.

Part of the problem is that it is nearly impossible, it seems, to get an exemption to vaccinating on health grounds. My child was one of the unlucky ones who had a serious reaction to one of his early vaccines. It caused long-term, possibly permanent damage to his GI system. He is now unable to process food (see medical formula and feeding tube) yet even this is not considered enough to get the exemption. It is not considered 'life threatening" (as if you don't need to eat to live, right). So I will be using the religious exemption because there are no other options.

You absolutely can.

Why does DC have the HPV on their health forms and MD does not? Of course, they also provide an opt out form. Also, a dental form has to be submitted. I guess it's all for the greater good but I just wonder why MD doesn't require this.

[Anonymous]

Our DC school requires vaccination, period. If you object you don't have to attend. I'm glad that is their position. Myou have the public school option and I'm sure there are privates that accept non-vaccinated children as ell.

Does your MD private school accept the religious exemption for vaccines?

Please no flaming. I'm not interested in igniting a vaccine debate.

My kids are in at our first choice school (yea!). I didn't stop to think about the vaccine exemption because they've been in public schools where the religious exemption is accepted, no questions asked.

Does anyone have experience with a religious exemption and a MD private school?

TIA

Lady, its not the schools that require immunizations, its the various state boards of health. The school nurse just collects the forms for the Board of Health to review them. You can get the religious exemption form from the VA Board of Health. Its a board of health form. good lord.

And when she gets venereal warts in college that may or may not result in her infant getting them in his nasopharnx through birth canal exposure, your daughter and your unborn grand child will have YOU to thank. Oh and she can also get cancer.

Currently 60% of americans have contacted HPV by age 25. It is the most commonly and actively spread VD.

No one can force your child to get the HPV vaccine. While I personally will not allow it for my 12 year old, the subject may be revisited when she is older. Since it is a vaccine based solely on behavior and choices, Gardisil might want to create a vaccine for males also.

Btw, recent posters, you do know you're flaming at post from two years ago, right?

Usually parents who chose the exemption do this after much research and consideration versus following mainstream medical advise like sheep (that you are).

Impossible unless you are running vaccine trials in your basement. Reading Dr. Jenny McCarthy's propaganda does not equal research.

how did this become a vax or not vax debate? we certnainly aren't going to change anyone's mind here. can we just get back to the OP's question. can we get our DC admitted to schools in DC, VA, and MD thru religious exemptions--publc, private or charter?
