More Wyoming parents are choosing to seek exemptions for their children for vaccinations, according to health officials.

About 225 Wyoming students didn't receive the required vaccinations in 2007 because of religious exemptions and 38 didn't because of medical exemptions, according to Wyoming Department of Health data.

As of July 3, 81 religious exemptions and eight medical exemptions had been submitted for this year. The numbers were expected to increase as children began school.

Students in Wyoming are required by law to have certain vaccines before they reach certain ages.

However, parents can apply for a religious or medical exemption and their children don't have to be vaccinated.

In 2001, the Wyoming Supreme Court decided the health department, which oversees the exemptions, couldn't look into parents' religious beliefs and had to grant the religious exemption no matter what.

"You just fill out the form, get it notarized and have it signed by a public health official," said Dr. Brent Sherard, director of the Wyoming Department of Health. "It's a done deal. That's it."

Before 2001, the number of exemptions was much less. In 2000, there were only 82 religious exemptions. The number has increased almost every year, except one, since 2001.

Suzey Delger, head school nurse for Natrona County School District, said some parents seek exemptions because they fear vaccines can harm their children. She said vaccines are safe.

Delger said exemptions for personal reasons hurt other children in the school system who can't be immunized for legitimate medical reasons.

"If they could get shots, these parents would get them the shots," Delger said. "The more children not being immunized for religious reasons, the higher risk you put other children at."

Vaccine are not safe. That is the biggest lie ever told.

Do you really think that Besides thimerosal, other preservatives in vaccines concern many parents. They include ethyleneglycol (antifreeze), monosodium glutamate (MSG), phenol (disinfectant, dye), formaldhyde, aluminum, aspartame, sorbitol, ammonia sulfate, chick embryonic fluid, and washed sheep red blood cells.
Do you think that sounds safe to pump into our babies.
It is time for Wyoming and the rest of the world to demand a toxic free vaccine. It is time for parents to say "no, no more toxins in our babies"
There is no safe level of any of these toxins. NEVER.

IN THE PAST 25 years, the number of American children with learning disabilities, asthma, diabetes and autism has more than tripled — as has the number of doses of vaccines given to children under the age of 6.

In the 1980s, children received 10 vaccines by the age of 5. Today, they receive 36.

Vaccines have never been tested in combination, meaning that adverse events that may happen from receiving too many vaccines at once are unknown.

Know Your Rights

You can choose how your child receives vaccines --you do not have to follow the Center’s For Disease Control’s schedule. It is a recommended schedule, not a mandatory schedule.

It is your child, your choice.
No vaccine is Safe.
Go ahead, ask your dr any dr to sign a wavier guaranteeing that the toxic full vaccine they are about to pump into your baby is safe and will not cause harm. They will not sign it. vaccine are not safe. They do not work.
During epidemics, measles has been known to attack nearly 100% vaccinated populations.
The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a national database that collects reports of adverse post-vaccination events. It is co-sponsored by the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration.

Since 1990, VAERS has received more than 123,000 reports of adverse reactions. Approximately 30,000 additional reports are filed annually.
And only 10% of all reactions ever get reported.

Why is it OK.
Why are we allowing the CDC to pump these toxins into our babies.
It is time to ask for a toxic free vaccines. It is time to demand it.
There is no safe vaccine. Stop lying to your self. Stop harming our babies. "

" Too often unknowing parents are intimidated into vaccinating their children by local and state officials. There was recently an incident in Sheridan where the county health official refused to sign a religious waiver because he didn't believe in them. He does not have to believe in them but he does have to follow the law like everyone else "

" "Vaccines are safe" is a totally incorrect statement. I should know. I am the mother of a vaccine damaged child.
Your life is never the same after your child is damaged from a childhood vaccination. Never! I have suffered so much grief, pain, and regret for getting my child vaccinated. The pain of watching this child grow up handicapped and "different" from the other children because of a vaccination has been horrible!!
The schools and state intimidate you into believing that you have to vaccinate your children. YOU DON'T! You can exempt them. Protect your children, do your own research and decide what you think is best for them. You are in charge of their well-being not the doctors, the schools, or the state. "

" Let's take measles, a disease that supposedly affected 4 million during its highest year.

Out of those 4 million that used to come down with measles how many died? How many of those that died had secondary issues, such as asthma, diabetes, heart conditions, and immune issues?

I have two vaccine injured children, and neither are autistic. One almost died in the ER after her vaccines and one developed Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) and I can and have linked that directly to her MMR shot. In fact, if you search for MMR insert, then get to one, scroll to "warnings" you'll see arthritis listed right there.

My third child is totally unvaccinated and the healthiest and most progressive (and a boy) child I've had. I said no way to the Rhogram (sp) shots during his incubation period and I said no way to the foot long needle they wanted to stick in my belly. Having a child is not a medical emergency!

There are so many things to point out about the marketing that is the vaccine movement. Have you ever wondered why measles was deemed a killer disease in the first place? When it only actually killed a very small number of children per year? Have you ever wondered how many vaccines will be enough to get your child into school?

Right now that is number is 36-48 vaccines (remember, there are 2-4 different vaccines in one shot at times - and depending on the shots required in your state) so you need to count the real number they are shooting your child up with. Why so many? Why so much?

With the increase in vaccines we have seen a sharp increase in asthma, diabetes, JRA, ADD, learning disabilities, attention disabilities, integration sensory disorder, and even childhood death from these conditions which are often brought on by the assault of toxins and vaccines on our immune system.

Start following the money. Stop following the herd. Realize that this is propaganda (sp) plain and simple. This is marketing to your fear. This is marketing for your money, nothing more nothing less.

Could your child get measles? Yes, but if you are feeding your child good food (not McD's) but fresh, good food, good sleep, no underlying conditions and all other things being considered, it's my contention they will fare better with measles than the toxic cocktail that makes up our vaccines nowadays.

Do your research.

A few great books to start you out on the marketing scam that is vaccines:

What the drug companies won’t tell you
What your doctor won’t tell you about childhood vaccinations
Vaccinations: a thoughtful parents guide
Polio: An American Story ( a pro vaccine book that really shows you the marketing behind the polio shot)
And after you’ve discovered the marketing that went into it, read: The Virus and the Vaccine – to discover where SV40 came from and how it made it into the human population (hint: via infected monkey kidneys that they grew our polio shots in- then if you have the stomach do some research on cancer and the SHARP increase since vaccines became “mandatory”) "

" To C Marshall, Terri L Timmons and Mary, thank you for posting your outstanding comments. It should be noted that our constitution grats us civil rights. It is each parents responsibility to determine what is right and what is wrong for their children, not a state health department and not a school. The only reason they are so worried about the number of unvaccinated children increasing is because vaccines are not effectice, as is evidenced by the number of fully vaccinated individuals that still contact the diseases is which they were vaccinated against. Vaccination and Immunization mean two different things. If they believed their vaccinations would protect them from the disease, then what are they so worried about? So they are receiving highly toxic and dangerous vaccines to not even be protected from diseases that rarely kill anyway!! Wow, that really makes sense!! Also note that as far as religious exemptions go, do those that are so opposed to them know that some vaccines are cultured in aborted fetus tissues? Have they read the ingredient labels on some vaccines that indicate that they contain foreign DNA and RNA. When this enters your body it forms hybrid cells which the bible says we should not do!! Before anyone has the right to be a critic of those of us who choose not to vaccinate or to ridicule us, they must first do as much research as we have and not be a sheep in the herd and believe everything the money and politically driven system has told them.
