Those recommendations (to vaccinate) have by and large have gone unheeded by the parents of Asheville Waldorf's 152 students — 110 of whom have not received the chickenpox vaccine, which was made available in the United States in 1995.
North Carolina's Department of Health and Human Services tracks the rate of kindergartners whose parents have claimed a religious exemption, allowing them to forego vaccination.
During the 2017-2018 school year, the last for which data were available, Asheville Waldorf had a higher rate of religious exemptions for vaccination than all but two other schools in the state.
Of the 28 kindergartners who enrolled that year, 19 had an exemption to at least one vaccination required by the state for school entry.
Is anyone else alarmed that the Federal Govt has this kind of detail at their fingertips?
The BBC is running a variation of the same article, so it’s a full court press. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has paid out more than $4 billion in damages to kids injured by vaccines. It would be many, many billions more if congress didn’t carve out special protection to vaccine makers. So, vaccines aren’t safe for all kids. I know this first hand as my g’son still has MMR titers many hundreds of times higher than normal 5 years after his one and only vaccination. It’s related to a defect in his MTHFR gene, a problem that can be detected at birth with a simple test that costs about $100. I pray to god that new parents listen to people learning on the fly rather than buying the government line.
It appears to be a hippie school
