Required Immunizations Bad Idea

It is all over the news these days about the growing number of parents fed up with their local school districts dress code where students are required to wear uniforms. While I agree with these parents that school districts have no right under the laws of any state to require students to wear uniforms I believe, a much more important issue faces students and parents in all states of this country, which is the requirement that students in the elementary level be vaccinated before they can attend classes. This may not be so in some states or local districts but it is becoming a national quest by both the Federal and State governments everywhere in America to make sure that children are caught up in their vaccinations before they can attend school. This is a classic example of big brother telling us how to raise our children.
Now a child can have as many as 35 immunizations before they reach the age of two, depending on which state you live in. Most of these vaccinations are unnecessary in the fact that the disease that they require the immunization for is not prevalent, or is nonexistent here in the U.S.

Most of these vaccinations cause periods of high fever, that may last for hours after the vaccination. It is this high fever lasting for prolonged periods of time that is responsible for the associated illnesses and afflictions like Autism and Downs Syndrome. The young constitutions of some infants are incapable of handling such high fevers for such a long time.

It is a bad call by Federal and State Governments to require such a huge list of vaccinations to be given to a child under the age of two.

It is also bad parenting for families to allow their child to have to be exposed to these types of immunizations before they are developed enough to be able to handle them better.

It is time for families across the U.S. to start questioning their Governments decision to require something that may be harmful to their children. There are too many cases where the child became Autistic or had some other adverse reaction to their immunizations.

We cannot afford to take all advice we get from the American Medical Association, Federal, and State Governments as gospel. The fact that the Federal Government has passed a law, which makes it impossible for anyone to sue the Government, drug companies, and physicians regarding the issue of damage from vaccinations, is proof of their uncertainty of the risks involved with immunizations.

The United States is supposed to be a free country, but there is not anything free about a Government requiring all children to be vaccinated without a 100% guarantee of any side effects.


We were supposed to believe the Government some 50 years ago when we let thousands of citizens be sterilized by requirement because we were told that the mental background of those individuals was unacceptable for them to reproduce.

The case of required immunizations is no different in the sense that the Government will be proven wrong once again
