Current Events > Child abusers upset that New York has banned unvaccinated kids from school.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Furious anti-vax parents in New York this week are posting memes and images of sad children and have shown up in person to protest the governor because a new law prohibiting unvaccinated children from attending school went into effect.

The mandate, enacted in June, prohibits a school from permitting any child to be admitted to such school, or to attend such school, in excess of 14 days without sufficient evidence that the child has received all age appropriate required vaccinations, according an official publication from the New York Department of Health, Office of Children and Family Services, and the State Education Department.

Those 14-day grace periods started expiring this week, which meant school officials barred students from going to class or began removing them from schools, to be picked up by their parents. (To be clear, the students could return to school if their parents had them vaccinated.)

State health officials told BuzzFeed News that 26,217 unvaccinated New York children in public schools, private schools, parochial schools, daycare centers, and prekindergarten programs claimed religious exemptions during the 201718 school year. New York ended religious exemptions for vaccines in June, following the worst measles outbreaks the state had seen in decades.

There is rampant misinformation about vaccines that in part influences anti-vax parents. There is an overwhelming amount of scientific evidence that shows vaccines work and do not cause disorders such as autism a claim that has been repeatedly debunked. The claims continue to frustrate many autistic people, as people spread vaccine misinformation to play on fears and prejudices.

They need to have their kids either taken away or forcibly vaccinated.
---

The parents should be lucky we arent throwing them in prison. Get your children vaccinated.
---

There are many reasons to not vaccinate the average child. And they're all stupid and should cost you custody.

A lot of very smart replies ITT

Imagine purposely trying to bring back fatal diseases to children and sending them to public school with zero disregard to the health of anyone else.

What kind of miserable, selfish fuck of a "parent" does this?

Good

Can these parents provide a single peer reviewed study in the entire recorded history of science that links childhood vaccinations to autism? They can't? None exist? Oh.

I thought there was already a ban

Why are these bioterrorists still allowed their children? The children should have been rescued already and the parents thrown in prison where they belong
