"AUSTIN -- The Austin Regional Clinic takes the lead in Central Texas when it comes to vaccines after the clinic announced they will no longer accept children as patients if the child isn't vaccinated starting Wednesday.

...

ARC reports that most of its 400,000 patients -- adults and children -- have their vaccinations. But Ziari said the number of non-vaccinated patients continues to rise. She said she does not have an exact number.

My wife's best friend from ABI, who now lives in IA, was refused health care a few months ago for her baby because he wasn't vaccinated.

She had fed her son some Beech Nut brand food, and the next day there was blood in his stool. Came to find out that Beech Nut had just ordered a recall on the very item because glass had gotten into the ingredients.

And the hospital refused them because they didn't vaccinate their children.

They chose a vaccine over a possible life and death situation. I guess the Hippocratic Oath means nothing to some of the ones who take it.

About thirty years ago, they would not allow children in school w/o vaccinations.

So they are starting to play a little hardball. The next step would be denying children nutrition!

How about non vaccinated children who have no been vaccinated for religious reasons?

I knew this was coming about 10 years ago. Call me a prophet. I talked about this very thing with someone about 10 years ago. It was be nationwide within a couple of years.

Now all these churches who don't believe in vaccinating their children, what do you do now? Obey the law of the land? Or never take your child to a hospital again?

Soon you won't be able to get in school without being vaccinated. A religious exemption will not work anymore. The medical field is not playing anymore.

Let's not and say we did

Religious objections aren't the main reason for people not vaccinating their children anymore. Parents are questioning the side effects of more and more vaccines as autism rates and auto-immune diseases greatly increase. The mandatory vaccine laws are being pushed by the pharmaceutical companies who profit from vaccines and are exempt from liability.

I totally understand that, but what about those who have gotten their religious exemptions?

You mean those parents who don't want government mandated healthcare, but send their children off for government mandated education?

You eat at the king's hall, you follow the king's etiquette.

As for those who think this is a security issue, that's funny right there. If an unvaccinated child comes in contact with vaccinated children, how is the unvaccinated child a security threat to the others? Answer: they aren't.

Soon, it will just be flat out illegal to be anything but a drone in the hive.

I just want to add. If you feel like you should have the right to be exempted because of your religious beliefs then think about it. People that believe in gay marriage and abortion can make that same argument.

If the religious right fights this in court, they will be opening the door for legal arguments for abortion and gay marriage.

This particular issue (vaccinating children) is a security issue. A child from another country can come here with smallpox and affect other children in school and cause an epidemic. That is just one example.
