About those vaccinations...just saw a Facebook inquiry from one of the town pages,

and person was asking for referrals to doctors who are flexible about vaccinations.

They were given referrals to at least five doctors in the area that allow parents to make those decisions for themselves.

I'm sure the public schools are adamant about receiving vaccination confirmation, but are the private schools requiring them?

And, I assume that home school is a haven for anti-vax parents, since they don't have any organization to answer to.

Anyone want to provide info? Certainly wouldn't mind being refuted.

When you make it mandatory. Next it will forced on adults... then? I know doctors that refuse to vax their children, that wont change. If you cant reach 95% of the public current on ALL vaccinations then the herd concept if unattainable, period! If less than 50% do now then it is an impossibility. Unless it's done by using handcuffs. Do you really want to go down that road?

Especially if they attend public school. If private schools want to dick around with anti-vaxxers, then let the free market work itself out, as conscientious parents chose private schools that require the vaccines.

And she has a hard time with the on-line support groups because they are infested with anti-vaxxers. She also has a teaching degree as well as a child with autism so she had zero patience for those fuckers
