Hi, here is the Florida philosophical bill info from myflorida.com:

Authorizes a parent or guardian to object to immunizing a minor on

philosophical grounds. Requires that the parent or guardian sign a form in

order to refuse to vaccinate the minor. Provides requirements for the form.

Requires that the parent or guardian periodically sign a new form in order to

continue the exemption. EFFECTIVE DATE: 07/01/2009. 03/02/09 SENATE Filed

Even though " religion " is in itself a personal " philosophy " , states without the

law written this way are trying to make parents " prove " the " religious

exemption " . No one has challenged us as of yet, as the law in Georgia still

reads " religious exemption " for the vaccination waiver.

P.S. Just the record, I do not recommend ANY vaccines.

Hi! I was answeing your other post about articulation disorders when the

stupid computer shutdown for updates and the message dissapeared so here goes:

our school tod us that our son could have a simple articulation disorder and

80% of there cases are just that. Articulation disorders are common and kids

often grow out of them and correct their own speech so the school offers the

parents 15 minutes of speech therapy a week. I refused to sign the iep so then

they increased it to 30 minutes so I would sign and they act like I am

getting a good deal. Josh did not have an articulation disorder because he also

could not eat or swallow food. He could not drink from a bottle. The

developmental pediatrician did not see any delays in gross motor skills because

he could

walk and sit and crawl all within the normal age range. Josh could not

breath on his own when he was born because he swallowed myconium. Instead of

having an o2 saturation rate 0f 92% or more he had a rate of 20%. He was on

oxygen

for 7 hours. The ob- gyn who delivered him made a smart ___ remark in front

of his student at the time about c-sections 'Give me my c-section' that was

what he said. He is known in the medical profession here as being rather

crass. He knew his stuff but was arrogant. I made the decision to get the

c-section.

I have a duty to the 20% of the kids who do not have an articulation

disorder and need more than 15 minutes a week of speech therapy to advocate for

them. Kids like Josh. Kids with apraxia.
