The American Academy of Pediatrics calls for end to nonmedical vaccine exemptions for school attendance

[NOLA Dude]

In a revised policy statement published today, the AAP said that it continues to support medical exemptions from immunization when granted appropriately and believes such exemptions should be available to children. But it's concerned that the growth in nonmedical vaccine exemptions, and the variation in how different states implement nonmedical exemption policies, is leading to disparities in immunization coverage and schools that are less safe.

The statement, which updates a 2016 policy that was reaffirmed in 2022, comes amid rising rates of vaccine exemptions in the United States and the worst year for measles the country has seen since the disease was declared eliminated in 2000. Of the 1,319 confirmed US measles cases so far this year, 92% have been in individuals (primarily children) who are unvaccinated or have unknown vaccination status.

AAP argues that nonmedical vaccine exemptions "erode the safety of school environments" and limit the public health value of vaccine requirements for school attendance.

"Because medically recognized contraindications for specific individuals from specific vaccines exist, there continues to be a place for legitimate medical exemptions to immunization," the team of five AAP-affiliated physicians wrote. "However, exempting children for nonmedical reasons from immunizations is problematic for medical, public health, and ethical reasons and creates unnecessary risk to both individuals and communities."

American Academy of Pediatrics wants forced vaccination. That’s not surprising considering they are a literal big pharma funded mouthpiece.

They are trying to ban all religious or philosophical objection rights

They are an evil organization.

No, the AAP wants to protect children. Your thread is just another example of MAGA NOT wanting to protect children after they are born.

The only exemptions to vaccines should be in cases of medical contraindications such as allergies. Otherwise, roll up your sleeves and take the shot, no excuses!

Good.

Feel free to not vaccinate your kids, just keep them away from my child.

 

[Gordy327]

Its a shame some kids have to suffer the negligence and stupidity of their parents by not being vaccinated. Such parents and antivaxxers in general should be admonished and publicly shamed!

 

[Peacenik]

The government should control vaccination policy. The primary purpose for vaccinations should be public safety. Policy should be science-based. Religion has nothing to do with science, so religious objections should not be considered valid reasons for objecting to public safety requirements.

Vaccination should be a requirement for school attendance. The only rational reason for an exception should be a valid medical reason, which should be very difficult to get.

This is a no-brainer. It has to do with public safety.

RFK Jr is from the strain of idiot hippie lefty that actually has common cause with maga on a host of things. He's also a product of that kind of thinking in that he comes from wealth, he and his will always have access to the best medical care. He views our children as guinea pigs for his uneducated views.

Yeah, I got a thing about RFK Jr.

One of the worst byproducts of maga is how much they hate the idea of community and working to protect each other.

Agreed. Everything should be science based when possible. Unfortunately, too many people are irrational or get emotional and go by mere feelings instead.

Maybe they should be rounded up and forced to live in a secluded compound / region. You want the freedom to avoid protecting the public safety? Fine. You can be free to do anything you want except spread whatever communicable diseases you contract among the general public.

The nation has an inherrent right to protect it's people.

I tend to think all antivaxxers are idiots. Although, idiocy is not limited to just them.

 

[ChemDevIII]

Simple solution, don't send your plague rats to public school, since you know so much, home school them.

Agreed. Never mind illegal immigrants. Anti vaxxers .aare the ones who should be deported. They represent a greater insidious threat to othlers and national health.

Just get your vaccines dude. It's just a needle. It's really not that scary, and it hurts for less than a second.

 

[Peacenik]

I know. It's so strange. They profess their patriotism so flagrantly with flags and fireworks, but when it comes to actually doing things for the good of the nation or society they are totally out to lunch. They support a draft dodger. Their 'patriotism' is a thin veneer for: 'Screw you America. I don't want to do anything for my nation. I want to enjoy everything I care about but give nothing back. I don't want to pay taxes; I don't care about the environment; and I certainly don't want to give a hoot about the safety of others. I want total and complete freedom even if it results in the deaths of others. I don't really care about anybody but me. I don't get, nor care about, the big picture.'

Do the math for me, how much is it to treat measles versus how much for one dose of the measles vaccine?

I just want to know how much evil Big Pharma is making over this particular vaccine and more about their evil plot to not sicken kids.

 

[Peacenik]

Simple solution, don't send your plague rats to public school, since you know so much, home school them.

And keep them out of public places. If they must interact with the public make them wear clinical masks boldly marked "AV".

Or maybe it should say "Cootie-Face."

So you support a wide spread out of control disease which is easily controllable.

Why?

They are an evil organization.

None other than Justice Scalia famously declared that legislatures are not required to recognize religious exemptions from laws of general applicability, otherwise the Bible would be the law of the land and every citizen who claimed a religion could pick and choose what laws to follow.

This current SCOTUS has indicated that Justice Scalia was not conservative enough for them, but has not yet overturned that precedent.

Nope. As we are fast learning the constitution may indeed be a suicide pact.

What is evil is your comment. All need to be vaccinated. We live in one society like it or not.

Wow.
I never thought I’d see a day where I agree with Justice Scalia.
