In a county at the epicentre of New York’s worst measles outbreak in decades, a group of parents is pushing to get their kids back in school. The problem? The children aren’t vaccinated.
Months later, the parents of more than 40 banned children at Green Meadow Waldorf School sued the Rockland County health department, asking a federal judge to allow the students to return to class. This week, U.S. District Court Judge Vincent Briccetti denied their request, ruling that it wasn’t in “public interest” to allow the children to go back to school
Green Meadow is a private Waldorf school that, like others around the country, promotes spiritual development. There haven’t been any cases of measles confirmed there, the New York Times reported. After Lindenberger’s appearance, Facebook announced its plan for combating anti-vax propaganda and false information on its platform. Google and Amazon have taken similar steps.States have also taken measures to ensure minors have access to vaccinations. In South Carolina, Oregon and elsewhere, patients under 18 are allowed to ask for vaccinations without parental approval.
As a polio survivor, I cannot fathom people who don’t vaccinate their children. In my opinion, their failure to do so is nothing short of child abuse.
no means no. why should they spread disease to other kids.
Finally someone with some common sense.
Good!
Anti-vax parents just don't seem to care about the health of others. Glad to see that a NY judge does.
GOOD cuz my son got vaccind and said to teacher NOT to to do it, but then teacher went and did it anyway. This is a good choice by anew york jug. ANTI vax are bad for pepple
Lol the rule is simple: kids need to keep up with the vaccination schedule to attend
