Congratulations anti-Vaxxer!


NP and damn right. I wear this as a badge of honor.



This is a forum for private and independent schools in DC, not clown colleges.

Polio and small pox vax worked and were needed. Do you really think six year old needed a vax and three boosters? 😳 if so good for you most parents don’t agree with you.

And yes i got vaccinated and boosted and am not anti-vax. I am anti-vax for covid and covid boosters for kids and young adults. It sucks being part of the statistics that did have a side effects.


That's very unfortunate for your son, but the fact is that these reactions are rare in the general population. Every vaccine has negative side effects, though there numbers are usually statistically insignificant. Imagine if people refused to take the polio or small pox vax last century because some of the nasty side effects experienced by a small percentage of the population?

Generally, people who don't want the vaccine may be vocal, but the vast majority get it and don't see a need to discuss it any more than other vaccinations.


It was required at Anselms.

That's not up to them. Maybe they'd do it anyway, but DC Health requires it for all students in that age range, including at private and parochial schools.

I posted above about wondering how schools are going to continue requiring it when new families come in from really anywhere else in the world that didn't require it and younger kids who weren't eligible become so and there is less availability- like you can't even get the original vaccine series anymore. It seems like the school would spend an unbalanced amount of time dealing with all of that versus you know, teaching.


Teachers teach. The admin or school nurse who has to deal with the paperwork DC requires will be fine process the few exceptions that may come up.

You people are just sheep falling for the fear-mongering by pharma companies. In 30 years we will finally know if there is long-term harm from the Covid vaccine. You know it was the first vaccine developed in this manner, yes? Or did you miss that part?

We are a new Beauvoir family and are really disappointed by this decision. We are very glad our child is fully vaxxed though!


Why? This is a very anti-science view.


Sorry, meant to quote this poster.

You know what anti-science is? Anti-science is denying that in 30 years we will finally know if there is long-term harm from the Covid vaccine. You know it was the first vaccine developed in this manner, yes? Or did you miss that part, you pro-science person?
