GAITHERSBURG, Md., April 12 — A panel of federal drug advisers voted 20 to 1 Thursday to reject an application by Merck to sell its pain pill Arcoxia because of concerns that the drug could cause as many as 30,000 heart attacks annually if widely used. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/13/us/13vioxx.html?_r=0
Why would I trust a mandate using Merck vaccines? When they are only interested in profit. It's a conflict of interest to mandate their products, they are nothing more than a corporation. How can my consumerism be mandated? Merck doesn't have the cleanest safety record.
Geeze, for the past, oh, say 3 years I've been eating Advil for pain?
For our entire past we've all followed medical and scientific advice with the blessings of our doctors, and grave misinformation and mistakes have happened. That's reality. That's why mandated drugs are a big no no. Not to mention in America they are a product of capitalism. We are consumers of health products. We aren't socialists. You can't mandate our consumerism. It makes an unfair market.
Just be thankful you didn't have a heart attack or stroke.
The separate but equal doctrine of education was forced on people based solely on race. There was no choice on it.
The vaccination program is for everyone, and if they choose not to get vaccinated they can go to another school setting.
Children and adults who are not vaccinated put everyone -- not just other children -- at risk.
I was not aware that there was a specific "right to a public education" in the Constitution. But I am aware that the Constitution says that the government should promote “the general welfare”. The Constitution says NOTHING about education. The point being, don't just pick and choose which "constitutional rights" you have.
Promote it, is one thing, but vaccines a must have law, is wrong....
in this day and age, what kind of risk are you talking about?
When people started questioning (which was a good thing) that so called epidemic that was in Florida....all of a sudden you didn't hear anything else about it.....????
I'm sorry but your wrong in this...you cannot tell people how to live their lives and to think and believe as you do....just as I can't impose my beliefs on you, but what we can do, is each of us, do what we think is best....
My gosh, you have people taking sick babies out, coughing, sneezing, running fevers, but they take them to the sitters anyway....? How is that right...it's the same thing....
One of their parents could have an immune system definciency...That bothers me more then fear of not having vaccines. There are enough kids vaccinated to day, that will help avoid those illnesses....

Yes! All kids living in the United States have the right to a free public education. And the Constitution requires that all kids be given equal educational opportunity no matter what their race, ethnic background, religion, or sex, or whether they are rich or poor, citizen or non-citizen. Even if you are in this country illegally, you have the right to go to public school. The ACLU is fighting hard to make sure this right isn't taken away.
In addition to this constitutional guarantee of an equal education, many federal, state and local laws also protect students against discrimination in education based on sexual orientation or disability, including pregnancy and HIV status.
In fact, even though some kids may complain about having to go to school, the right to an equal educational opportunity is one of the most valuable rights you have. The Supreme Court said this in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case when it struck down race segregation in the public schools.
If you believe you or someone you know is being discriminated against in school, speak up! Talk to a teacher, the principal, the head of a community organization or a lawyer so they can investigate the situation and help you take legal action if necessary.

If they have a moral belief or a religious belief against vaccination or one of the mandated vaccines now they are deprived from a free public education. That is discriminatory. If any child can attend school without a vaccine including those with HIV then all children should be allowed that right. They pose no greater threat than those other children.

Promote means to encourage, not demand or mandate a law....

besides, if your kid is vaccinated, there is no danger....if you can call chicken pox or measles danger? They are not life threatening diseases...now if we were talking about ebola, then that is a whole different ball game.
Very odd. Outbreak in Disneyland produced no deaths whatsoever. It's just measles.
yet we want another holocaust where people are forced to accept vaccines and only their doctor can stop it under very narrow guidelines. Fascism is here, and just like the Holocaust, people are screaming for more of it. Then when they realize this big brother thing has gone too far, it will be too late.
What can you do? Not much
Seriously? You're comparing vaccinations being required to the Holocaust.
Do you have any idea how disgustingly offensive that is?
The Holocaust was mass genocide, it was the brutal torture and death of over 6 million innocent souls.
Comparing vaccinations to the Holocaust makes you sound nuttier than Jenny McCarthy.

The right to public education is guaranteed by each state's constitution, not the U.S. Constitution. Here is the specific wording in Article Nine, Section Two of the Colorado Constitution...
Quote:
Establishment and maintenance of public schools. The general assembly shall, as soon as practicable, provide for the establishment and maintenance of a thorough and uniform system of free public schools throughout the state, wherein all residents of the state, between the ages of six and twenty-one years, may be educated gratuitously. One or more public schools shall be maintained in each school district within the state, at least three months in each year; any school district failing to have such school shall not be entitled to receive any portion of the school fund for that year.
You'll find something similar in all fifty state constitutions.
