Yes, well that's the usual response post. Angry flame, emotional, non-substantive, must be true, it's obvious isn't it, blah blah...
Nice.
You bought the pharma PR hook line and sinker, well done.
Now take a deep breath, open your mind and go do some research.
I'll give you a hint....
Why do you assume vaccines 'all but wiped out' polio and smallpox? Who told you that?
When's the last time you saw hospital wards full of scarlet fever cases? Do you think vaccines wiped out that disease too? Go look up info on SF vaccines and let us know what you find.
To date, the last known case of smallpox occurred in Somalia in the Merca District.

Did anyone actually read the OP's news article? It is completely biased. Doesn't anyone want to hear the other side? I thought most people on this website usually don't believe everything is black and white. Here's a news source that gives both sides:
Md. Schools Get Tough on Vaccinations
Prince George's County school officials and prosecutors said parents have been duly warned about the need for vaccinations over the past year. They said the goal isn't to throw parents in jail but to protect public health and get kids who have been barred from school back to class.
"How can you in good conscience allow your child to miss school and their education for no particular reason?" said John White, spokesman for the 132,000-student school system.
Please visit the link provided for the complete story.
In a paper to be published soon in the scientific journal Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, the two academics focus on recent US actions that have served to undermine the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention. In a move that stunned the international community last July, the US blocked an attempt to give the convention some teeth with inspections, so that member countries could check if others were keeping the agreement.
Mr Dando believes Washington's motive for torpedoing the deal, which had the support of its allies, was to maintain secrecy over US research work on biological weapons. He said that work includes:
· CIA efforts to copy a Soviet cluster bomb designed to disperse biological weapons
· A project by the Pentagon to build a bio-weapon plant from commercially available materials to prove that terrorists could do the same thing

Down to 1872 Leicester was one of the most completely vaccinated towns in the kingdom, the number of vaccinations, owing to alarm after epidemics, several times exceeding the number of births. Yet in 1871, at the very height of its good vaccination record, it was attacked by the epidemic with extreme severity, its small-pox deaths during that year being more than 3,500 per million of the population, or about a thousand per million more than the mortality in London during the same epidemic. If ever a test experiment existed it is this of Leicester, where an almost completely vaccinated community suffered more than unvaccinated and terribly insanitary London, on the average of the last forty years of the eighteenth century.
But even more conclusive evidence is to come....

Now then, did you actually read this article?
Kids are being banned from school because parents are rightly suspicious of a certain toxic cocktail the authorities are eager to inject into the children (though not their own children according to the DAG)
Then they print an article suggesting parents are being irresponsible for keeping the kids away! HELLO. WAKE UP!
Mr John White thinks it is for 'No reason whatsoever'. Well good for him. Others don't agree and think it is for a damn good reason - i.e. the health of their kids.

When they start forcing little girls to get shot up with Gardasil, that's when I'll be convinced something nefarious is afoot.
Has anyone else seen the commercials for Gardasil, the HPV vaccine? They make it out to be like getting vaccinated makes you part of a really awesome club, and encourage parents to vaccinate their children. Truly terrifying considering all the dangers surrounding the vaccine.
Have to wonder if Merck is the primary vaccine source in Maryland. They've probably worked out the math... are the total profits greater than the likely settlement in the class-action lawsuit when their drugs start to kill people... again.

If you want to tell me to "WAKE UP" because I want to show both sides of a story, then that's your prerogative.
However, I believe you have completely displayed your ignorance to everyone on ATS by completely ignoring the other side of this debate. That's my opinion anyway.

Well, I don't believe there's any real scientific evidence supporting this claim. However, you're entitled to your opinion
Well he is entitled to his opinion as well. And I believe he has scientific evidence to back up his opinion.

if vaccines were so powerful, why would it matter if a unvaccinated person carried a contagious disease in class? the vaccinated kids can't really catch it anyways, right?
"The message is get your kids vaccinated or get an exemption," said Prince George's County State's Attorney Glenn Ivey. "You can't just sit on the fence."
School officials said that it is not clear why parents are not complying, but that some may have religious or medical objections, while others may have failed to turn in the paperwork, or their kids' addresses were outdated.
What are the Colorado school immunization requirements?
The State Board of Health decides which shots are required for school and day care. You can find the shots currently required at www.cdphe.state.co.us... A parent or guardian may exempt their child from any or all required shots based on personal or religious beliefs by signing an exemption form. A child may also be exempt from required shots for medical reasons.
