Guest guest Posted January 16, 2002 Report Share Posted January 16, 2002 I am under the assumption that it is (chicken pox vaccine) recommended in Colorado, but not a law yet. Yes, the illness is worse as an adult. I have a 2 year old son that we have chosen not to vaccinate, once he reaches school age we can, in Colorado, claim a philosophical exemption to vaccinations and he cannot be withheld from any school. Most states have medical and religious exemptions, only a few have philosophical so you might want to check out if North Carolina is one of those states. Jennie Last night on the news they announced that it is now NC law to give all 1-year olds the chicken pox vaccine! I guess a couple lost their baby to chicken pox and has fought to make the vaccine a law. Has anyone else in other states had this happen? From what I understand, giving a baby this vaccination only increases their chances of getting the chicken pox when they are older, when they will probably end up in the hospital from it. in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's shifting the disease into an older age bracket, when it's much more serious. Only naturally-acquired immunity is lifelong (i.e. the immunity acquired from actually having the disease once), the vaccine will wear off and we'll have adults and especially the elderly, who were vaccinated as children and whose immune systems were not allowd to do their jobs, getting seriously ill or dying from a disease that should be a routine rite of passage during childhood. They don't talk now about needing boosters in adulthood, but they wouldn't want to scare people away from the shot, now would they? They used to say the measles vax was lifelong, too, but now recommend all adults get boosters (since the disease has been appearing in more serious form in adult populations who were vaccinated as children, just like the chicken pox situation). They say vaccines provide the same protection as natural immunity, but that's obviously not true. As for children dying from chicken pox, we cannot guarantee that every human born will have a disease-free life by shooting them up as babies (on the contrary, I believe over-vaccination sets people up for a lifetime of chronic dosease). And case studies I've read of people who died of " chicken pox " show they actually died because of medical mis-management of their condition, especially with frequent doses of tylenol or other drugs to reduce fever putting great strain on the body to detox the drugs, not leaving anything to fight the disease (fever is a necessary function of healing, and should not be suppressed unless it gets to a dangerous level). I guess you pushed my button here. All states have exemptions, they can't force you to give this shot to your child.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2002 Report Share Posted January 17, 2002 Also--don't rely on the school for accurate information-- Our school has a poster listed the vaccinations that are " required by CA law to enter school " but no where do they tell you about the philosophical exemption. When the school was spot " inspected " regarding the children's health records I received a notice that my child had to have the chicken pox vaccine by a certain date (2 days after I got the notice) or she would not be allowed to attend school. EVEN though I had signed the philosophical exemption on the back of the form! I simply went to the Kindergarten director and said " As you know, CA has a philosophical exemption. I've already signed the form. won't be getting the vaccine. " End of story. Sometimes you have to be pushy regarding these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2002 Report Share Posted January 17, 2002 Thank you all for your responses on the chicken pox vaccination! Our state (NC) has a religious exemption only. I wish we had the philosophical exemption, but at least we have an exemption! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2002 Report Share Posted January 31, 2002 I know that this is a little late, but messed up some of my groups (no surprise there :-/ ) in the move, and I wondered why this list was so quiet, only to find that it hasn't been quiet at all! So anyway, I am just now catching up. Anyway . . . there are exemptions to all vaccines in every state. All states but West Virginia and Mississippi have a religious exemption, and this is as easy as " I believe my body is a temple and that it would be a sin to defile it by injecting toxins into it " (and if you have ever seen a list of vaccine ingredients, they are FULL of toxins " . Also, the chickenpox vaccine is made using a cell line from an aborted baby, which will help with a lot of religious exemptions also. Speaking from personal experience here (I have a child with vaccine induced autism), STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM VACCINES AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN!!!!!!!!!!! rochester@... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Click here for the best diet and nutrition information you will ever find! www.westonaprice.org ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* " As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression.
