16. Florida Public Schools allow Religious Exemption
Mon Jan 12, 2015, 04:26 PM
Jan 2015

I worked in public schools from 2007 to 2011. Many parents told me they used that exemption for philosphical reasons, including the unvaccinated 5 year old I worked with 1:1. I was told that many potential employees refused to work with unvaccinated children. Sad. Unvaccinated ME did not care. The school district never even asked me if I was vaccinated myself. Probaby because I was born before 1957 and had all those childhood diseases myself? They never asked about boosters I might have needed over 50+ years for the few vax I had as a child.

Anyway, this is State of Florida policy. I am sure there are a lot of unvaccinated Florida children (resident discounts) walking around Disney World too, including their unvaccinated or not up to date on boosers parents and grandparents. ONLY children? Will achieving 100% childhood immunity create Herd Immunity? All adults are fully vaccinated and recevied all boosters? I know all of the parents said they themselves were not fully vaccinated or had boosters. Only unvaccinated children spread disease? Adults can't?

Papers, Citizen? I never thought this was a Liberal vs. Conservative issue, but trolling that other site and speaking with parents themselves, it seems to be Liberals more so who want to take away individual rights all in the name of greater good. For who? Big Parms? Big Health Care? I will depart company with you on this one as an adult and a Senior.
