Because he didn't get a tetanus vaccine. Government of Ontario forcing kids to get vaccines now. Him and 148 other kids got suspended with more supposedly supposed to be suspended there were just too many to suspend all at once. I assume this will be on the news soon when parents start complaining because everybody just found out today.

 

He was suspended and isn't allowed to attend school until he gets its because he was a danger to "Public Health" for not getting a vaccine for a non contagious disease. Let that soak into your head for a minute.

 

Don't you just love the way this world is progressing?

Depends on his age. If he's young, then I retract my insult. If he's high school age or above, I stick by calling him stupid

They're forcing vaccines for diseases that aren't even contagious. Does that not seem a little strange to you? Calling someone a "Danger to Public Health" because they didn't get a vaccine for a non contagious disease?

What if he's driving, tetanus hits and he crashes into a pedestrian or another driver? That's a danger to public health.

Not saying that's a good excuse, but it could be a possible valid one.

I don't know why your brother wouldn't want the vaccine anyways...

I had to get a tetanus vaccine (maybe it was a tetanus booster) before going into high school. Because I wasn't a big crybaby I actually went and got the tetanus vaccine. It's not a big deal.

The vaccine isn't just for tetanus. It also vaccinates you against diphtheria and pertussis, which are contagious. So why doesn't your stupid brother just get the vaccine?

Leaving out that this vaccine is for Diptheria, Polio and whooping cough as well as tetanus. While tetanus isn't contagious the others are extremely contagious. Unless you think the vaccine is some evil mind control agent I don't see why you'd turn it down since all the things it vaccinates against f*cking suck to get.

Ok first of all he's not a crybaby he didn't even know, the law just came into effect today and 148 other kids in his school alone got suspended too. The whole point of this discussion was to point out how ridiculous it is that Government would force this especially for something non contagious.

 

Yes the act of getting a tetanus shot is not bad at all, I got one after I cut myself on some rusty piece of metal. But the point is it shouldn't be forced onto people.

Vaccines are evil and a way for the government to control our minds. Didn't you know?

We should be refusing all vaccines, like polio, pertussis, tetanus, Hep B, because they all do more harm than good. Chemicals and biology are evil.

It may actually be possible to sue a school if a child gets infected with tetanus, one could claim that the school failed to give proper medical attention. Considering that, it's completely just to make such vaccines mandatory.

Okay. If the law really just went into effect today with no warning whatsoever and the kids were immediately suspended, then yeah, your brother has a real gripe. I kind-of doubt that though. Otherwise this thread just reminds me of people who want to protest motorcycle helmet laws. What are you trying to prove, exactly? "I'll show you by...needlessly putting my health at risk!"

Again, the vaccine covers several diseases which are contagious and can be serious.

"If the Health Unit does not have a complete record, you will receive a phone call and/or letter about the missing information. This will give you an opportunity to update your childs record or to find the missing information and return a copy of it to the Health Unit with a given amount of time. If the Health Unit does not receive this information in the given time, you will receive a notice of suspension until the appropriate documentation and/or immunizations are received. Note: The law also states that parents of children who refuse to have their children immunized or legally exempted are liable for a fine of up to $1,000." " What can I do if I do not want my child immunized? Even though immunization is mandatory in Ontario, some children may be exempted under the following special circumstances: appropriate medical reasons religious or conscience belief" So you're lying. This is from 1990 and the last amendment was 2010, this isn't a new law.

It's probably a liability issue more than anything. The school doesn't want to be blamed if he manages to hurt himself and contract tetanus on school grounds.

It's actually in his benefit to get it. While I don't think he should be suspended, if he contracts it then the school isn't going to want to be blamed by the parents so maybe they are doing it to cover themselves from possible lawsuits. In which case it's not their fault, it's society and the "sue everyone" mentality instead of doing the right thing and just protecting yourself by getting the dam vaccine in the first place.

Yes it should be forced onto people. I am going to assume that this is a public school system that is government run, correct?

The high school that I attended had almost 2000 students. Could you imagine how fast some of the other diseases that are included in the vaccine could spread from just one unvaccinated and infected person? I have 2 kids, a 16 yr old and a 14 yr old. I sure as hell do not want them going to school with thousands of other students if some of them are not vaccinated against communicable diseases.

I understand that Tetanus is not contagious, but the others are. So I do see your point but you should also see ours. Tell you what. Like it or not, no matter how much you complain, your brother is NOT going to go back to school and finish his education until he gets that vaccine.

Let me ask you this: Does your brother's right to NOT be forced to be vaccinated trump other students right to attend a safe, disease free school environment?

I don't have the answers to all of this. I just hope he does the right thing. But in this case, what is the right thing? Protect his civil liberties or violate that of others?

Agreed. Your brother needs to be arrested and tried for treason, and all of his emails and phone logs searched to see if he's linked to Al Qaeda. Canada might need a dosage of DEMOCRACY soon...[QUOTE="HoolaHoopMan"] Dat Autism.

Lol did you know last year's flu vaccine was only helpful in 60% of cases? That's right, the major one that everyone gets, fails to help at all 4/10 times. Vaccinations are just another ploy for job creation (nurses) and $$$.

No, there is no direct link. The fear of vaccines comes from a debunked study out of England from more than a decade ago. I can understand it though. Parents of autistic children often want to find a reason for the diagnosis, a chemical, an illness, something, so they latch onto something, even if it's tenuous.

The chemical in question was thiomersal, which contains a mercury atom in the molecule, though the compound in generally save as a preservative, in small quantities. You have more mercury in the fish you eat and in your fillings.

Yeah our world is so terrible when your government makes it mandatory for you take a shot that saves lives. A shot that billions around the world don't have access too.

Such a damn shame if you ask me.

There's no solid evidence that suggests the shot does anything. And much like last year's flu shot, there's a chance that even if he got the shot, there's a huge chance it would do nothing. >Spend $100 to get an inoculation that might do nothing except make you feel safe. >Save $100 and deal with the slightly higher chance of sickness afterwards.

Or the flu vaccine is developed before the flu hits and it's a predictive cocktail of different kinds of the virus that are expected to be the most similar to the current strain that year?

Yep only slightly higher if you dont get the vaccine... The DTaP vaccine is 95% effective in preventing all three diseases that it immunizes againstdiphtheria, tetanus and pertussis.

Time = Money. Lineups are terrible at these places where they give out free shots. Plus there was that time where sanitation wasn't the best.

No go one, refute this one, I'm actually enjoying watching you come up with completely asinine excuses.

Yeah our world is so terrible when your government makes it mandatory for you take a shot that saves lives. A shot that billions around the world don't have access too.

Such a damn shame if you ask me.

There's no solid evidence that suggests the shot does anything. And much like last year's flu shot, there's a chance that even if he got the shot, there's a huge chance it would do nothing. >Spend $100 to get an inoculation that might do nothing except make you feel safe. >Save $100 and deal with the slightly higher chance of sickness afterwards.

Save money? It's in Ontario, it's probably free. 

Yup, free. They probably get the nurses to come to school for it and everything. That's what happened here when we got our vaccinations. Practically schadenfreude day with how many previously thought of tough guys breaking down in tears after being poked with a tiny needle.

I feel like reminding you that this is the guy who said Dorner was totally justified in murdering that innocent couple because they were "harboring a criminal."

[QUOTE="JML897"] I had to get a tetanus vaccine (maybe it was a tetanus booster) before going into high school. Because I wasn't a big crybaby I actually went and got the tetanus vaccine. It's not a big deal. JML897

 

Ok first of all he's not a crybaby he didn't even know, the law just came into effect today and 148 other kids in his school alone got suspended too. The whole point of this discussion was to point out how ridiculous it is that Government would force this especially for something non contagious.

 

Yes the act of getting a tetanus shot is not bad at all, I got one after I cut myself on some rusty piece of metal. But the point is it shouldn't be forced onto people.

Okay. If the law really just went into effect today with no warning whatsoever and the kids were immediately suspended, then yeah, your brother has a real gripe. I kind-of doubt that though. Otherwise this thread just reminds me of people who want to protest motorcycle helmet laws. What are you trying to prove, exactly? "I'll show you by...needlessly putting my health at risk!"

it should be your right to choose....the government shouldnt try and protect people from themself...

Yep only slightly higher if you dont get the vaccine... The DTaP vaccine is 95% effective in preventing all three diseases that it immunizes againstdiphtheria, tetanus and pertussis.

Hmm, Google shows no research with it saying 95% effective.

I read a few things about how the effectveness decreases after a few immunizations.

And this site saying that although DTaP vaccinations have increased between 1991-2008, pertussis infections have increased.

Except vaccines aren't like that. When people don't get vaccinated against diseases, they don't just put themselves at risk - they put other people at risk. There was a case a few years ago where a family came back from vacation but they didn't get shots, so their kid got sick and passed it on to a bunch of other kids.

And does the kid have the disease yet? no. he is not yet a "risk to society".

Huh? >Family goes on vacation. >Family doesn't get sick >Kid doesn't show symptoms, but is supposedly "sick" >Random other kids get sick. >???? >Blame family for going on vacation. Yeah that's not the best reasoning...
