    Beginning Sept. 1, the state’s Department of Health will require students to receive a complete series of immunizations for measles-mumps-rubella, polio and tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis before starting school. Students who have received initial doses of the vaccines may attend school only if parents can show they have scheduled appointments for the final doses.

    Previously, children could wait until age 6 to receive final doses.

    The new policy reflects recommendations from an advisory panel to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    Health Commissioner Howard Zucker says the changes will give children “the best protection” from “devastating diseases.”

    Time has come!! That the enforce this law at 100% it’s sick how you have these morons who don’t give immunization to their children in the name of cautious parents. The only thing there doing is bringing back in to the society all sicknesses that were long since gone and are doing more damage to the world than josef stalin did!!!! As long these animals won’t try it on their own blood and have one family member sick with polio etc. They won’t learn. May hashem watch on all of us that we should be safe and healthy all our lives.

    NY should follow the example of California and outlaw religious exemptions. Schools have a responsibility to keep every child and staff safe. These parents who don’t inoculate assume everyone else does so their children will not get these diseases. Let them home school their kids.

    Drug companies hid the dangers of vaccines.

    Ten double-blind studies involving 2,252 subjects showed no significant difference in the frequency or severity of adverse experiences between ENGERIX-B and plasma-derived vaccines. In thirty-six clinical studies, a total of 13,495 doses of ENGERIX-B were administered to 5,071 healthy adults and children who were initially seronegative for hepatitis B markers and healthy neonates. All subjects were monitored for four days post-administration. (1)

    What the pharmaceutical company should have done is inject one group with the vaccine and the other group with a non-vaccine placebo (i.e., saline). What the pharmaceutical company did, instead, was inject one group with the hepatitis B vaccine, and the other group with a different vaccine. Then they monitored both groups and found that the recipients of their vaccine had “no significant difference in the frequency or severity of adverse experiences” as compared to the recipients of other vaccines. Which tells us nothing, really. Imagine McDonald’s touting their Big Macs as being “no more lethal than the Whopper.”

    The U.S. government has a massive conflicts of interest where it concerns policies related to the vaccine industry.

    Before you make a potential life-changing decision for you or your children by agreeing to be vaccinated, do your own research. The government cannot be trusted on vaccine matters, and the mainstream media and many doctors are also not doing their own research related to the vaccine industry. Be informed and educated regarding vaccines, before you become a statistic among the vaccine injured and dead.

    Did you know that:

    THE US GOVERNMENT HAS PAID OUT $3 BILLION TO VACCINE-INJURED AMERICANS SINCE 1989

    If vaccines did not cause death and injury, the Government wouldn’t be using your tax dollar to pay for all the death and injury cause by vaccines.

    The only reason the number is “only” 3 Billion instead of 300 Trillion dollars, is only because most Americans are not even aware that this Government funded official, ‘Vaccine Court’, even exists and most Americans trust their doctor who is not aware either.

    The blind leading the blind.

    Yeah….let’s see how THAT will be enforced when you have these tree-hugging leftists who believe in parental choice screaming at everyone they can. And the nutcases who demand religious exemption. What about OUR choice NOT to have our kids exposed to these potentially fatal illnesses? And vaxed kids can carry the goodies home to the immune-deficient or babies or even elderly. It’s a farce, it will never be carried out. Once upon a time smallpox was eradicated. Now it’s back.

    Until the Religious Exemptions are eradicated this will have no effect on us. I was talking to my sons’ school administrator just this past Thursday. She told me that those kids who have religious exemptions also have the understanding that if there is an outbreak they can not come to school until the outbreak is over. When the Mumps outbreak occurred, and parents were called that they would have to keep their kids home for at least two months until it was all over, suddenly all these anti vaccine mishugoyim vaccinated their boys. I asked her why we cant have a special class for the non vaccinated kids,, her answer? That would violate their privacy,, what a farce. But this is the law.

    I find it to be quite ironic that same leftists that would allow the killing of babies up until birth via late term abortion – these are suddenly the same passionate people that are pushing to protect our babies and force vaccination on us.

    I vaccinated my kids – but I hate the fact that the government is forcing me to do so and not letting me do my own research as a parent.

    Anything that the government needs to use force to explain a benefit is problematic.

    What is the right approach? Simple… a doctor needs to educate the parents and let the merits speak for itself. There are still many truths that are concealed about these vaccinations.

    Why would my child need a Hep C shot? But you can’t decline it in NY.

    The terms nutcases and crazies used here and also by Obama show a lack of understanding and just trying to use mob rule.
    There may be issues with vaccines. All this talk about polio is moot, most parents object to the MMR which does not include polio. It basically includes childhood diseases many older people had naturally.
    Remember, if your child is harmed by the MMR, it will be for life. It will affect your life and that of all siblings. If you think there are courts for this, try fighting Obama appointed monkey court rules as applied in the vaccine court.

    Sick!! I DO immunize my kids, but I strongly believe that the MMR should not be given before age 6 and all others not before age 3-4. I had a long conversation with my pediatrician about this and she believes in this too. Kids under age 4’s bodies are too young and fragile to handle all that’s in a shot. if this law goes into effect we will have more autistic students than not. Yes! I have one child on the spectrum and happens to be he got the MMR before age 4. With my subsequent ones I waited till after age 6.

    Those who want to run the USA like a communist country, where our health care choices, are forced upon us, they, try to give the false impression, that immunizations are, effective and it’s safety is “proven” and then they have the audacity to put the burden of proof on those who want free choice, in health care, that they, must prove the danger by saying, “show me a qualified study” or “show me a double blind study which proves that immunization is dangerous.

    They have it all wrong and up-side down

    First of all there currently exists absolute ZERO qualified “double blind study” to prove that any immunization (never mind so many of them) – that even ONE of them, is proven safe and effective in even ONE, double blind study!

    No such double blind study was ever done period

    The burden of proof is NOT on those who want to have their freedom of choice.

    The burden of proof is on those who want to force others to immunize.

    The burden of proof on them, is not only if they want to FORCE immunization but even for them to be PERMITTED to immunize anyone at all, ever

    I repeat there exists absolute ZERO, not even ONE study and that even on ONE of them, is safe or effective!

    I gave all my kids all their vaccines. But I NEVER gave the combined MMR. I asked, and got, separate injections – yes it hurt more, but there wasn’t the fear trhat the triple would cause harm. I suggest everyone who is anti-vax ask for this method instead. Or do you just want to win?

    My son’s immune system is compromised due to chemo treatment that he is is getting. I do not think it is fair to him or anyone else that has issues that he should have to worry about any other diseases out there because of autism from the MMR shot that was already proven to be 100 percent false.
