Many thanks to all of you who have written your comments above. I was largely ignorant about vaccines but now I'm learning how insidious they really are, thanks to those of you who have written about it. Keep it coming,

Here is a link to vaclib.org website that has the laws for exemptions listed for every state as they are a little bit different for some states...vaclib.org/exemption.htm

Most states have medical and religious exemptions and some even philosophical exemptions.  Remember not to go into too much detail about religious exemptions and you do not have to specify any church that you belong to, all you have to state us "personal religious beliefs".  There are also keywords that they look for in the exemption.  I know there's a website that has some of those listed but I can't find it at the monent.  

...However, my daughter is 21 months old, has never received a vaccination, never will, and is still not talking.  She is advanced in everything else and understands everything we say, she's just a late talker...there is an excellent group called natural late talkers (not autistic or autism spectrum disordered children) that has excellent support and advice if you need it...

I received the polio vaccine on that cute little sugar cube and proceeded to get polio in my neck from it. I was told NEVER, NEVER get another vaccine for anything. And that was in the 50's, so obviously they knew the dangers then. But as I got older I forgot what had happened (Because I wasn't actually told it was Polio, - I figured that out later) and I was getting ready to go on a trip to Europe and my doctor said, OK, I won't make you get any vaccines this time. (You had to have a health card back then to travel). I guess he lied on it or something because they let me go. Well, the next year when I was getting ready to go to South America he said I had to get the small pox vaccine or I couldn't go, so, stupidly I got it. Well, a few weeks later I wound up with thrombophlebitis in my left leg. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks, one of them, flat on my back. My leg swelled up twice the size of what it had been and hasn't been the same since. My daughter got Myasthenia Gravis from her vaccines and my grandson got the measles and a horrible skin condition from the MMR. The skin condition lasted at least 6 months. He has dyslexia, hmm... I wonder if there is a connection? Needless to say, our family does not vaccinate anyone anymore and my grandaughter has never had any vaccines and almost never gets sick. (She's 4) If you think you have to have the vaccines to go to school, you don't. There is a waiver you can sign.

Would like to see an updated study although I'm sure much of the above is still relevant in 2008.  Per the FDA, thimerosol (49.6% ethyl mercury) does not need to be listed on the insert label for vaccines if it falls below a certain threshold.  So basically, those that think they're getting a 'mercury' or 'preservative' free vaccine are misled.  Miniscule to large amounts of mercury are still in vaccines that are supposedly 'thimerosol' free.  Thimerosol is used in the vaccine production process in the beginning stages and cannot be filtered out entirely due to the protein antigens binding to ethyl mercury akin to separating water from koolaid.  

Boys are 4x more likely to suffer the effects of vaccines via ADHD, autism, diabetes, allergies,asthma, etc. due to testosterone and glutathione levels.  Estrogen in girls is much more protective, however, girls still contract these disorders as vaccines compromise the immune system.

As a 53 year old woman, I have dealt w/allergies and asthma since I was in 1st grade after reacting to a set of shots, including the polio vaccine (via sugar cubes in the early 60's), from which I almost died.  

Vaccines have never been proven safe and studies on non-vaccinated individuals are not conducted by drug cos. as this would reveal that by and large, non-vaccinated people are much healthier.
