... being sick? Are their parents not getting the needed time off to get them to the doctor?

... or are these percentages not much different than they were ten years ago?

From the OP:

That's a pretty big difference for just four years.

Most of those people apparently are not "ani-vaccers", either.

Don't get me started.

Did you hear about the 800 plus people infected with measles in San Diego a year or so ago?
A couple and their young son coming home from a vacation in Switzerland caused it.

Should have been criminal charges pressed imho.

Yet we treat vaccines like burdens instead of blessings.

Maybe we are too stupid to survive long-term as a species.

and how many people this year didn't get a flu shot?

The thing about vaccines is how it puts a ring around it, and leaves the illness with no place to grow and expand.

anyone not getting the vaccine is a clear and present danger to everyone else.

I would make it mandatory for everyone who is not allergic(and there are alternatives for those that are anyhow) to have all vaccines prior to school each year,

and somehow make the parents liable for $$$$$ others who then get sick incur.

are no longer mandatory for everyone prior to a school year?

There wasn't a single school I attended from a daycare to multiple elementary, middle, and finally a public high school where proof of vaccination was not required before attendance. This continued through college and through several graduate degrees.

Have the anti-vaxers so perverted the system that now this is not the case?!

They have blood on their hands IMO.

The school nurse was able to give him his shots in the meantime.

Not sure if that is just our town or state or if it is available nationwide. Alot of times its hard, especially for low wage workers, to get any time off work.

And too often!! My daughter was always so sick after hers, and I always did what the dr said. At age nine, went into DKA! Is now Type Diabetic!
Her younger brothers, have only had a couple rounds of shots, at our asking. Given very slowly, not pounding their immune system with it all, they are the healthiest 5 & 6 yr olds in their school!!!
Compounding the immune system with all the viruses that the shots give dead parts of, just weakens it more. I believe in time to let the body heal to vaccinate. Not compound it with several diseases that it needs to fight! It'll just kill itself!!!

Daughter's pediatrian had retired and her records were with her "somewhere in Florida". We had lost her immunization records during our move and she needed the records to start school. So, not thinking her doctor would suggest anything harmful, I went with his advice and got her "caught up" on all her shots over a six month period. Within another six months, she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. I am fairly certain there was a genetic predisposition for the disease, but the barage of immunizations triggered it.

Please provide the link to one medical study that establishes a link between vaccinations and Type 1 diabetes.

advanced medicine that saves so much suffering and so many lives. Stupid? Crazy? Mean? Neglect? Gawd help us.
