Parents Resist Flu Shot Requirements for Preschoolers

The New Jersey Public Health Council is considering making flu shots obligatory for preschoolers. But there is increasing resistance from parents concerned about government intrusion and potential health hazards from the vaccine.

The State Health Department and Governor Jon Corzine have already approved the requirements, so it is likely that the Council will do so as well.

But several parents have argued that there is no compelling evidence that the vaccines are effective and safe. And unlike most common vaccines, flu shots contain mercury.

Parents don't see the insanity but I think parents should go on strike until they ban requirement for vaccines.  This would work great in school districts if the students don't show they don't get the money.......

As I have said elsewhere on the Web: this has escalated from medical fascism to despotism.
Let the Revolution begin!

I'm serious. If I still had young children, in order to vaccinate them, they would have to pry them out of my cold dead hands.

It is my hope that the flu shot will not become a requirement for pre-schoolers.  I recently convinced my daughter-in-law not to have my 12 month old twin grandsons vaccinated with the flu shot.  Their little systems are already being overwhelmed with the many vaccines that they have been given  When will we see a stop to this insanity?

The one time I ever got the flu shot is the one time that I ended up in the hospital...for a week with the worse case of the flu I have ever encountered.  Since then (some time in the early 80s) I have never received the shot nor have I ever gotten the flu again.

It's unbelievable how many people say the same thing. I know at least 10 others who've ended up either extremely ill or hospitalised with flu or similar after a flu jab. My mother had severe pleurisy after one. The only time I ever took a Big Pharma-created 'flu preventative' medicine I ended up extremely ill with influenza.

Yet they ignore the stories and the blinding evidence to the contrary and just keep on lining up and rolling up...

Baaaaa.

The government needs to stop mandating to parents what kind of health care they provide.  The ONLY time I ever received a flu shot I became totally paralyzed in that (my left) arm.  The doctors said that it was not an "allergy" but was definitely a reaction to the medication in the injection.  At the time, they did not know if it would be permanent or not.  Fortunately, the problem went away in about 30 days and the use of my arm returned.

I have never had a flu shot since (over 20 years now), and I have never had the flu.

This reminded me of the situation I find myself in with my young dog. I want to compete in obedience competition with her and the local obedience club insist on seeing a current vaccination certificate before they will accept her in a class. Although most of the training will be done outside of the club she does need that exposure to learn to do the exercises properly in the presence of other people and dogs. Fortunately I have found a vaccine for only distemper and parvo without an adjuvant and a vet who stocks it and will sign it off for three years. (The club do not check what they have been vaccinated for, only that they have been vaccinated). Once those three years are up it will no longer be an issue as the critical part of the training will be done.

I had an extremely allergic dog who lost his fur on various occasions including after getting his rabies shot.  I tried traditional veterinary treatment for his allergies (antibiotics, antihistamines and steriods) and did not feel that these toxic treatments were much help, I took him off treatments and decided not to vaccinate him again.  Because he bit someone he was brought to the attention of the town Dog Officer and I was charged with animal cruelty because of his lack of vaccination and fur.  They made me vaccinate him (truly the only cruel thing  that I did)  They also made me treat him but did give me the option of using alternate veterinary treatments.  However after 6 months of his being treated by a licensed veterinarian with accupucture, they made me bring the dog into court and decided that the treatments were not working (he had just started to turn a corner in his healing and in his fur growth)   They actually took the dog away from me, treated him with their drugs and put him up for adoption.  Two months later, I read in the paper a story about his adoption and it was noted that he had to wear a sweater because he still didn't have much fur.The Dog Officer even had the gall to state that his loss of fur was probably related to flea bites.  The medical mafia is alive and well even in our pet care industries
