SEATTLE (Reuters) - A Washington state school district pulled 143 students who lacked documentation proving they had received required immunizations from classrooms on Monday, in a first-in-the-state clamp-down triggered by a recent measles epidemic. The Spokane Public Schools, the state's second-largest district, made the decision after a measles epidemic in which more than 150 people fell ill across the United States, and a whooping cough outbreak in the state's eastern city. "(The students) stay out of school until they show compliance," district spokesman Kevin Morrison said. He said the district was the first in the state to take such action. All U.S. states require certain vaccines for students for diseases such as mumps, rubella, tetanus or polio, but school immunization laws grant exemptions to children for medical reasons, including an inhibited immune system. Almost all states also grant religious exemptions against immunizations, with 20 states also allowing philosophical exemptions, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Parents who want to opt out of school shots on philosophical, religious or medical grounds in Washington state, which saw measles cases in the recent epidemic, though none in Spokane public schools, must file a state-mandated waiver with the district, Morrison said. About 500 of the district's 30,000 students lack the waivers, down from some 5,000 students flagged in November as having missing or unclear immunization status, Morrison said. In February, officials started instructing parents that their children needed vaccinations or waivers and held a series of health clinics across the region, though the efforts have been complicated by school transfers and old record-keeping. "It's a lot of hand-holding, it's labor intensive," Morrison said.

I wonder how many kids were affected by the "measles epidemic" and how many of them had taken the vaccines? Somehow this information is never brought forth.
From looking over news clips and documented historical evidence, it's almost a certainty that ALL of the afflicted have been 100% vaccinated. Now if vaccines actually WORKED, why would they be worried if a small percentage of students were not immunized? The REST of the students would be fully protected against those diseases, and there would be no cause to exclude non-vaccinated children from school.
Are those the same news clips and historical evidence that made you incorrectly *think* that the central core of the WTC was the main support...? The preliminary investigation in to the outbreak showed that 57 people had 0 MMR vaccinations... www.californiahealthline....low-vaccination-rates-to- blame-for-disneyland-measles-outbreak
Is your inability to comprehend what you read the cause of your failure to understand basic fundamental facts?
Well...let's see...does 100% mean something other than *all* *everything* *without exception*?
Does over HALF of the afflicted children being FULLY vaccinated indicate the vaccine is next to useless, or TOTALLY useless? From GRAPHICAL EVIDENCE SHOWS VACCINES DIDN'T SAVE US GRAPHICAL EVIDENCE SHOWS VACCINES DIDN'T SAVE US The above graphs, based on the official death numbers as recorded in the Official Year Books of the Commonwealth of Australia, are taken from Greg Beattie's excellent book "Vaccination A Parent's Dilemma" and represent the decline in death rates from infectious disease in Australia. They clearly show that vaccines had nothing to do with the decline in death rates. (Note: Graphical evidence on the decline in death rates from infectious disease for USA, England, New Zealand and many other countries shows the exact same scenario as above). So what were the true reasons for this decline? From his book 'Health and Healing' Dr Andrew Weil best answers it with this statement; "Scientific medicine has taken credit it does not deserve for some advances in health. Most people believe that victory over the infectious diseases of the last century came with the invention of immunisations. In fact, cholera, typhoid, tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough, etc, were in decline before vaccines for them became available - the result of better methods of sanitation, sewage disposal, and distribution of food and water."
Could you please answer my question? Thanks.
Ok, so I guessed incorrectly, it wasn't 100% of the afflicted children who were vaccinated, it was OVER HALF of them. So now answer MY questions. IF vaccines actually WORKED, why would they be worried if a small percentage of students were not immunized? Does over HALF of the afflicted children being FULLY vaccinated indicate the vaccine is next to useless, or TOTALLY useless?
...which fully spikes your premise. Are all vaccines 100% effective...the answer has always been no. Are they effective in curbing, diminishing or stopping massive outbreaks and epidemics. Yes they are. Small pox, polio, even measles...
Yes they are. Small pox, polio, even measles... Go ahead and find me ANY actual evidence that vaccines had any effectiveness whatsoever in preventing disease. Historical facts prove otherwise... From HISTORICAL FACTS EXPOSING THE DANGERS AND INEFFECTIVENESS OF VACCINES - In 1871-2, England, with 98% of the population aged between 2 and 50 vaccinated against smallpox, it experienced its worst ever smallpox outbreak with 45,000 deaths. During the same period in Germany, with a vaccination rate of 96%, there were over 125,000 deaths from smallpox. ( The Hadwen Documents) - In Germany, compulsory mass vaccination against diphtheria commenced in 1940 and by 1945 diphtheria cases were up from 40,000 to 250,000. (Don't Get Stuck, Hannah Allen) - In the USA in 1960, two virologists discovered that both polio vaccines were contaminated with the SV 40 virus which causes cancer in animals as well as changes in human cell tissue cultures. Millions of children had been injected with these vaccines. (Med Jnl of Australia 17/3/1973 p555) - In 1967, Ghana was declared measles free by the World Health Organisation after 96% of its population was vaccinated. In 1972, Ghana experienced one of its worst measles outbreaks with its highest ever mortality rate. (Dr H Albonico, MMR Vaccine Campaign in Switzerland, March 1990) - In the UK between 1970 and 1990, over 200,000 cases of whooping cough occurred in fully vaccinated children. (Community Disease Surveillance Centre, UK) - In the 1970's a tuberculosis vaccine trial in India involving 260,000 people revealed that more cases of TB occurred in the vaccinated than the unvaccinated. (The Lancet 12/1/80 p73) - In 1977, Dr Jonas Salk who developed the first polio vaccine, testified along with other scientists, that mass inoculation against polio was the cause of most polio cases throughout the USA since 1961. (Science 4/4/77 "Abstracts" ) - In 1978, a survey of 30 States in the US revealed that more than half of the children who contracted measles had been adequately vaccinated. (The People's Doctor, Dr R Mendelsohn) - In 1979, Sweden abandoned the whooping cough vaccine due to its ineffectiveness. Out of 5,140 cases in 1978, it was found that 84% had been vaccinated three times! (BMJ 283:696- 697, 1981) -The February 1981 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 90% of obstetricians and 66% of pediatricians refused to take the rubella vaccine. - In the USA, the cost of a single DPT shot had risen from 11 cents in 1982 to $11.40 in 1987. The manufacturers of the vaccine were putting aside $8 per shot to cover legal costs and damages they were paying out to parents of brain damaged children and children who died after vaccination. (The Vine, Issue 7, January 1994, Nambour, Qld) - In Oman between 1988 and 1989, a polio outbreak occurred amongst thousands of fully vaccinated children. The region with the highest attack rate had the highest vaccine coverage. The region with the lowest attack rate had the lowest vaccine coverage. (The Lancet, 21/9/91) - In 1990, a UK survey involving 598 doctors revealed that over 50% of them refused to have the Hepatitis B vaccine despite belonging to the high risk group urged to be vaccinated. (British Med Jnl, 27/1/1990) - In 1990, the Journal of the American Medical Association had an article on measles which stated " Although more than 95% of school-aged children in the US are vaccinated against measles, large measles outbreaks continue to occur in schools and most cases in this setting occur among previously vaccinated children." (JAMA, 21/11/90) - In the USA, from July 1990 to November 1993, the US Food and Drug Administration counted a total of 54,072 adverse reactions following vaccination. The FDA admitted that this number represented only 10% of the real total, because most doctors were refusing to report vaccine injuries. In other words, adverse reactions for this period exceeded half a million! (National Vaccine Information Centre, March 2, 1994) - In the New England Journal of Medicine July 1994 issue a study found that over 80% of children under 5 years of age who had contracted whooping cough had been fully vaccinated. - On November 2nd, 2000, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) announced that its members voted at their 57th annual meeting in St Louis to pass a resolution calling for an end to mandatory childhood vaccines. The resolution passed without a single "no" vote. (Report by Michael Devitt)
This is the group that Rand Paul belonged to...it doesn't believe that HIV causes AIDS... In 1977, Dr Jonas Salk who developed the first polio vaccine, testified along with other scientists, that mass inoculation against polio was the cause of most polio cases throughout the USA since 1961. Prior to 1961, what was the main cause? Also, this tidbit appears to make Salk appear anti-vaccination...he wasn't...quite the opposite...
From Medical News Today Polio is caused by the poliovirus, a highly contagious virus specific to humans. The virus usually enters the environment in the feces of someone who is infected. In areas with poor sanitation, the virus easily spreads through the fecal-oral route, via contaminated water or food. In addition, direct contact with a person infected with the virus can cause polio. Fecal to oral tranmission can occur via swimming pools (this is why public pools are now clorinated), and via unsanitary practices of migrant workers (pooping in the lettuce patch and not washing their hands after), and failure to rinse off the contaminated produce in the kitchen. With improved sanitation, polio went away on its own. Polio and Swimming Pools: Historical Connections
Polio started trending down because Mothers kept their children from playing with other children. Pools and other public places where children congregated were virtually abandoned in the early 1950's... And that X is misplaced...MASSIVE trials of Salk's vaccine began in 1952 and was declared effective not long thereafter...Sabin's trials began in 1957... Why is it that you continually have to move the goalposts in to heaping piles of bullshit? You cannot conflate contraceptive measures as being as effective as inoculative measures.
And when the kids stopped going to the pools, the rate of polio infections dropped significantly, and that was PRIOR to the advent of the polio vaccine.
And AFTER the vaccine, kids could again congregate in public areas or in larger groups and not have to worry about transmission. DUH...
DUH... Uh, no. After they CLORINATED the water in the pools, people could safely swim in them again. Double DUH.
