After rarely crossing the 1 percent mark, some private schools suddenly reported 5, 10 or 20 percent of students claiming medical exceptions for a school vaccine policy

around 1,000 exemptions in the years after non-medical exemptions were removed in what the state called “gross negligence.”

“It’s the groups of unvaccinated people that will start and propagate outbreaks,” Shaw said. “That’s ideal, fertile soil for starting an outbreak, which will then spread like wildfire.” While one childhood case of monkeypox was detected in New York, medical experts state the risks of it spreading in K-12 classroom settings remain low.Lawmakers in Albany eliminated non-medical exemptions in 2019, after New York became the epicenter of the nation’s measles outbreak. That year, nearly 1,300 cases were confirmed across the country, the most reported in the U.S. since 1992, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“There’s still a demand for parents to seek exemptions for their children from vaccines due to the misinformation that’s been perpetrated on social media and elsewhere,” Hoylman said. “The major concern is that parents who make this decision are not just endangering the lives of their own children, but the lives of others, including classmates and teachers and staff — some of whom may not be protected by vaccines because of a legitimate medical condition.

A spokesperson for the state’s health department said physicians who participate in fraud related to a child’s immunization record will be referred to the Board for Professional Medical Conduct for possible disciplinary action. “DOHMH audits a subset of schools annually to ensure compliance,” he said. “Data from the NYS self-reported survey helps to inform sites selected for audit.”surfaced this year for the first time in the U.S. in nearly a decade, officials are working to ensure compliance.

Probably because the vaccines for covid are far more dangerous for kids than the virus itself.

They're concerned

Religion is dangerous! Always has been!

and Ford is OK with that? Or we should ask Mr. Lecce?

Voluntarily thinning the herd to avoid diluting the concentration of wealth and power during estate transfers.

Sounds like they don’t want to be suckers like the Guinea pigs who got it.

If the only way to avoid injecting children with an experimental drug with a poor risk profile is fraud... well says far more about the system

BS

Extremely predictable

'Gaming' bodily autonomy.
