We are nearly done sharing the 11 thoughtful points we've comprised to illustrate our concerns to you, our legislator, so that you may be better informed to represent us regarding restoring parental vaccine rights in 2015. Thank you for reading and considering each. Reputable sources have been linked (hover over orange text).

As parents, we have done the work; we desire to share with you where we are coming from. Our concerns are valid. Here is why.

10. WHY is the Answer Always a Vaccine?

We are rightfully concerned that there is no end in sight. How many vaccines are too many for a given child? What was once 10 by high school graduation is now 70! How many will your future child or grandchild be mandated to receive?

Pertussis outbreaks are prompting health officials to consider a 7th dose of pertussis vaccine to the schedule. Babies already get 5 doses by age 6 and a 6th dose in 6th grade. When will we face facts that the pertussis vaccine isn’t working? If the only tool in the CDC’s kit is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail.

Businesses promote vaccination to reduce employee absenteeism. Parents who vaccinate children to avoid a few days of lost work can end up dealing with far worse, including dangerously high fevers, convulsions, severe complications, or even death.

Some people are skeptical about sequential pandemics and so-called deadly epidemics — with bizarre contamination stories and a fear-mongering press focused on human vulnerability — right before fast tracked vaccines arrive on cue to save the day.

Thank you for your time; don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns you would like us to address.

Sincerely,
Lindey Magee and MaryJo Perry
