Religious Exemption Only

January 27, 2008

I would think that philosophical would have the same legal weight until or unless they take away the philosophical exemption. It is written in the state law. Granted, religious freedom goes beyond the state but still unless ME changes it's laws on vaccine exemption she is surely well within her legal rights to decline the MMR without penalty other than being excluded from classed for 18 days during incubation period should there be a case on her campus. The Maine CDC only recommends the shots and the law has not changed so I don't think that the University has the legal right to mandate them. Though, they sure are trying to look as if they do.

I think the only true way to not have to get a vaccine is RELIGIOUS exemption. Would the University of Maine tell a Muslim they cannot pray on a mat or Catholic they cannot go to mass if they attend UM?? Well the can still come but have to not practice their religion?? It is discrimination--and would be since UM is a public Univ. against church and state.In the same vein if you have a religion that does not allow for the body to be violated the Univ. cannot take the right away from you to practice your religion. Your philosophy is a different matter--I do not think that has legal protection.Who's never won? Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.

I agree. The philosophical exemption is currently written into law in

the state of ME. This means it should hold it's weight in court,

period. I REALLY would get an attorney involved in your daughter's

plight, as soon as possible. Most attorneys offer free consultation,

and you might even get them to go after the University to cover your

attorney costs, if that is an issue. They SHOULD be responsible for

your costs, as they are trying to force your daughter to do something

against her will and to forgo a right by which she is protected under

law. Who knows, you could start what could stir a bigger pot, and a

class action suit could follow.

I constantly shake my head at what is going in this country regarding

forced vax, especially after the incident in MD. I say out loud that

I wonder what is going on to make this happen, but I know... BigParma

is lining the pockets of these schools and universities because they

are panicked that the public is becoming wise to their lies, and they

are trying to scare us in to backing down now. I'd like to know WHICH

companies are preying on which schools....
