Why is it OK for an unhealthy (immunocompromised etc) unvaxxed child to be at school potentially spreading diseases to everyone else themselves, yet a healthy unvaxxed child attending school is seen as abhorrent?!
Because the immunocompromised child is the one we should, as a group, be doing what we can to protect if they can't be vaccinated by surrounding them with people who have been vaccinated and can help to keep them safe. Because it's right that we should care about protecting the most vulnerable.
Besides, an immunocompromised child is highly unlikely to be waltzing off to school while infected with one of the diseases we vaccinate against... because of the whole being immunocompromised thing.
I’ve had one vaccine in my life and almost didn’t live to tell the tale.
im sorry to hear that, do you know what the issue was?
I was kept home from school with any typical childhood disease, not sent in to infect immunocompromised children (of whom there were none in my class, ever, through all my 14 years of schooling).
How lucky. I had several children in my school with various illnesses that compromised their immune systems, including a girl with cancer who died of a lung infection.
My own child is completely unvaxxed. She has never had any typical childhood diseases apart from chickenpox which she caught from a child in paediatric A&E at 6 months old!
Goodness, I wonder what could have contributed to her avoiding all those diseases that were almost unavoidable before mass vaccination....
