Vaccinate your kids- Or Else!

So let me understand this....If we don't vaccinate our children, we may go to jail up to 7 days. Did I get that right? And what purpose does this serve by incarcerating parents, taking them away from their children? Can someone explain this to me like a six year old?
A Maryland school district wants to vaccinate children from kindergarten to high school for chicken pox and Hepatitis B.

Should parents be fined or jailed for refusing to vaccinate their children? Hundreds of parents may face both if they don't show up at court to have their children vaccinated this weekend. A Maryland school district has ordered the parents of 2,300 students to court Saturday for missing the September immunization deadline.

Hepatitis B...btw, a liver disease transmitted through drug use of needles or sexual intercourse. And chickenpox...well perhaps I'm just 'old school', but I never found chickenpox to be a life threatening virus to the point of needing to be vaccinated for it. My children had it. My generation had it. My mother's generation had it. No such vaccine. And we're all just fine thank you.

5) Chickenpox is not smallpox and hepatitis B is not polio. Hepatitis B is not an infection that can be transmitted in the school setting and chickenpox is mild for most children. These diseases do not fit the model of highly contagious diseases with a high rate of complications leading to permanent injury and death that have led to state vaccine requirements in the past.
6) Although Maryland and other states may allow medical and religious exemptions, they are very difficult for parents to obtain. Doctors cannot easily write medical exemptions that are not second-guessed by public health officials, who require strict adherence to narrow contraindications blessed by the CDC. Often parents, who attempt to file religious exemptions, are thrown into rooms and grilled about the sincerity of the religious beliefs.

Maybe its time parents take back our right to raise our children in the way we see best for them. Whether they want to vaccinate or they choose not to for whatever their beliefs.

8) The vaccine safety and informed consent debate is becoming more intense because more parents are reporting that their children are regressing into poor health after receiving many vaccines. Vaccines carry risks of seizures, brain inflammation and even death and often high risk children are not screened out of the program.
9) It is time for the people to take back the power - through their elected representatives - to decide which vaccines their children should have to take to go to school. In the past few decades, legislatures have given up their power to vote on which new vaccines will be mandated and have handed that power over to public health officials who have never met a vaccine they did not want to mandate.

It needs to be *our* choice.
