kevbone Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 hmmmm, that's why the little rat bastard at the pacific science center bit my daughter last month, because his helicopter mommy didn't pay enough attention to her perfect little prince  The problem with this statement is in bold.

tvashtarkatena Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Yeah, TV isn't soley responsible for messing kids up. Give our public schools a little credit! Â But...I only taught her how to draw a butt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_b Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Kids at school make it that it's very difficult to avoid commercial mass culture but, schools? there isn't much schools can do when so many institutions are failing at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-spotter Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 The correlation between non-vaccinated and homeschooled seems pretty high, anecdotally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Conway Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 The correlation between non-vaccinated and homeschooled seems pretty high, anecdotally. Â as many public schools require vaccination this is not surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 actually, public schools do NOT require it. You jsut ahve to sign a waiver saying you disagree with vaccinations for moral or religious reasons. At least in WA state, no kid will be kept out of public school for not being vaccinated, as long as you sign one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvashtarkatena Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Am I the only one here who wishes that people a) without kids in school or b) who teach in schools should kindly STFU about what's wrong with our school system? Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â why should teachers not talk about what is wrong with schools? Would seem that ideas and opinions from the source would be valuable. or is it that is all they talk about?

At least in WA state, no kid will be kept out of public school for not being vaccinated, as long as you sign one of these.  http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/laws/state-reqs.htm  You will note a general difference between the West (home to batshit fucking 'tards like boner) and the east, where, yes many states do require it. Amazingly people can opt out of requirements sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 weird. In WA, if you turn the vaccination form over, there is just a place to sign to opt-out for personal reasons. Vaccination forms are so specific (dates, etc) and goddamned complicated that sometimes it's easier just to opt-out, even when your kids HAVE been vaccinated. I know a lot of parents that did that, because it's such a drag to get forms faxed from the DR., etc. Â What happens if you don't vaccinate your kid in a state where it is required? No school?

Kimmo Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) what childhood vaccines did i get that i need boosters for now, and why does this never come up during my yearly physicals?

ivan Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 adult vaccine schedule,  non-snarky reply by this document, i'm all good - i manage to get stiches often enough, i've probably doubled n' tripled up on the tetatnus vaccine every damn decade for awhile now  i didn't see much else on that list that needed boosters? i don't tend to get the flu vaccine most years, largely out of laziness (and no real fear of the consequences), and my understanding is the science ain't real good for that anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â As opposed to some well-reasoned, but nebulous gray area that you seem incapable of describing? Your condescension oozes thick as pus. If only the rest of us could intuit the true answers in life though some higher state of deep thought and perhaps an open mind obtained through yoga and colon cleanses.

Kimmo Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 by this document, i'm all good - i manage to get stiches often enough, i've probably doubled n' tripled up on the tetatnus vaccine every damn decade for awhile now  here's some more stuff:  According to the National Immunization Survey, conducted last summer with responses from 7,000 Americans, the flu shot is the only recommended adult vaccine that most Americans could name. Only 3% to 18% could name each of the others, which include pneumococcal disease; hepatitis A; hepatits B; tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis; meningococcal disease; and shingles. Less than 10% of respondents remembered that hepatitis vaccines were recommended, and less than 5% mentioned the new shingles vaccine.
