Since it was introduced in 2017, thousands have collected their “Vaccine Education Certificate,” then continued to duck the shots for their children

Parents in Ontario who want to send their kids to school unvaccinated must now first attend a class of their own.

With the resurgence of dreaded, entirely preventable illnesses like measles and whooping cough, there are renewed calls for compulsory shots, not only for school-aged children but for babies and toddlers as well, with no waivers or opt-outs except for medical reasons. But Ontario’s chief medical officer of health, Dr. David Williams, says the goal isn’t to scare, berate or coerce parents. It’s to make sure those who object to one or more designated shots are fully informed of what they’re risking. “We’re trying to give them what they need to know so they can make a good decision,” he said — the good decision, of course, being to vaccinate their children.

At the Huron County Health Unit, “It has been our experience that generally parents who attend the vaccine education session continue to seek an exemption afterwards,” said spokeswoman Rita Marsh. The video itself certainly covers vaccine basics — what’s in them and how they work. It explains how vaccines beat both smallpox and polio . It makes clear that homeopathic vaccines, or “nosodes,” watery, massively diluted solutions that have never been proven to prevent infection, are no substitute for real vaccines, no matter how they’re marketed. And it refutes the autism myth perpetrated by Wakefield’s since-retracted paper.

“Parents stated that they have already extensively researched the topic of vaccine safety and effectiveness and that they found it insulting to have the government force them to be ‘re-educated,’” says vice-president Ted Kuntz, who, at the request of the Post, put out a question to parents on the organization’s social media platforms.

In the U.S., three states — Mississippi, West Virginia and California — have done away with religious and personal belief exemptions for public school students. In Mississippi, the state or deputy state epidemiologist reviews even medical exemptions. Today, the state has the highest vaccination rate in the U.S.

“All you need is one province to take the lead, and, if the vaccination rate starts to improve, others may follow. Imagine if all the money wasted on this education program in Ontario was used to enforce a mandatory policy?”

Why is it that you use these platforms as weaponized slams about ppl who have so many questions on Vaccine Safety when simultaneously refuse to public debate this issue? So many lies in this pc of propaganda VICP VAERS NoMandates IndependentSafetyCommissionNow

Vaccines are one of the biggest scams.

Forcing things backfires. Parents of unvaccinated kids ask what I think of vaccines. I tell them of growing up in Pakistan & what I saw e.g. bulbar polio. I mention what they are doing is bad for their kids but will reduce overpopulation. The kids get vaccinated afterwards.

Contrary to this article, homeoprophylaxis has been used by gov’ts in Brazil, Cuba, India, and Colombia with success. Apparently, parents who refuse vaccinations are well educated, indeed.

Nazism, communism, socialism all have same thing in common, mandatory health initiatives.

Who the f__k has the right to tell anyone what they should put in their body! Wake the f__k up Canada

Before we force vaccinations, can we please try the showing dying babies approach first? If it works then no need to bring in draconian laws! However I think if your child doesn't get the vaccine for a disease there should be no OHIP coverage if they catch the disease.

you can't fix stupid

No vaccine, no school🤷🏼‍♀️simple.

You choose to not vaccinate your child (unless there’s a medical reason)? Fine. You can educate your child at home because they’re not allowed to attend school. Simple.

No vaccines, no monetary child benefits.

Proves the old adage “you can’t fix stupid”

1984 attempt. Absolutely pathetic.

free riding isn't just bad for our economy, it's also bad for our society and wellbeing. obviously antivaxers do not care for the wellbeing of others, why should we be forced to care about their obnoxious opinion.

How about we just make vaccines mandatory for kids to attend school. And while we're at it, fine parents who don't protect their children against preventable and sometimes deadly diseases. antivax
