Hello, New Member!
I do know some chiropractors who have sent
letters to private pre-schools stating that a child should be exempt from
vaccines due to a sensitivity to specific ingredients in the vaccine. The
pre-schools accepted it. The college may not accept a letter from a
chiropractor, but if you explain that this is your doctor of choice and that
you have met their requirements by presenting said letter from a doctor, they
might back down. Most schools have an RN who handles these issues.
You might want to keep it between you and the nurse if at all possible and see
if you can not make to big an issue of it.
If that doesn’t work, I would
suggest looking for a good lawyer instead of a cooperative MD. Most MDs,
even if you find one to agree with you, are not likely to write such a letter
and set themselves up for harassment. Dr. Mercola has an amazing website
where you can search for articles on many topics. He has a list of
suggestions about how to handle these situations. Above all, maintain a
cordial and respectful, perhaps even humble, posture and attitude. Be very
patient, but continue to ask about who you might talk with so you can learn who
your lawyer should contact regarding who will sign a statement on behalf of the
college which accepts responsibility for any adverse reactions that might occur
by requiring a perfectly healthy young person to expose him/herself to the
risks posed by the toxic ingredients in the vaccines. It really is a good
idea to have a lawyer write a letter stating that, if the institution wishes to
impose this risk they must be willing to take responsibility for it and enclose
a statement for them to sign which accepts full responsibility for all medical
expenses, compensation for pain and suffering, as well as loss of income or
potential income resulting from damages cause by adverse reactions to any
vaccine required to attend classes.
If the college refuses to sign the letter
AND still refuses to allow you to attend without vaccines, you might want to get
the lawyer’s permission to publish the letter in the local newspaper and
disperse copies throughout the student body so that all students might understand
that they are being exposed to unnecessary risks for which the school will take
no responsibility.
I suppose it is just what many might call
anecdotal, but I’ve never heard of anyone dying of ‘spinal meningitis’
who was not a freshman in high school or college and had just received
vaccines. I have always had my doubts about these diagnoses since the
meningial bacteria can be found in a spinal tap in about 80% of the healthy
population who are not suffering the symp
Best wishes for getting a safe education.
Hope you can get the school of your choice to be reasonable.

vaccination exemptions - applicable to private insitution?
Hello, new member here.
I am currently applying at a private college in
My questions are:
a.) Is it really lawful for them to discriminate against my religious
convictions because they are a private insitution?
I have searched
b.) If they CAN legally reject my religious exemption claim, how do I go about
getting a medical exemption? I was told that the doctor that submits the letter
would be held liable, which is probably not very desirable.
I would greatly appreciate any input or assistance!
