I mean, I don't think they are... kinda. I'm the type of person to read the terms and conditions which included the student guidelines, and I recall that all the ones I read explicitly said not to come to school when you are sick. Of course, you don't have to have any symptoms to be carrying the disease. So yea, go vaccinate your kids.

I'm just saying...if you vaccinate your kids then why are you afraid of the diseases that said kid is vaccinated against?

One big part of herd immunity is that it prevents the mutation of diseases. As a diseases passes from person to person, there's a greater chance of it mutating into a form that could be unaffected by the current vaccine. Really, the fewer people that get the disease, the less likely it is to kill anyone, vaccinated or not

There are also a moderately large amount of people that are allergic to the vaccines and cannot get it even if they wanted to. Having people that could get vaccinated not get vaccinated unnecessarily puts those people at a much higher risk of infection

Are the ones allergic to vaccines included in the list of people who shouldn’t be allowed to come to school?

They are the ones that are the primary protectorate of the whole "don't bring unvaccinated kids to school" thing.

Understood but if we don’t let unvaccinated kids into school aren’t they included in that ban?

*insert statement about the precedent the intent of the law and why pedantic interpretations don't fly in the legal system*

How does law factor in? I’m asking about a statement made on social media and being discussed in this thread.If we believe unvaccinated kids shouldn’t be allowed in school does that apply only to those who choose to not vaccinate or to anyone unvaccinated?

law factors in because the discussed rule would have to be a law and the intent of said rule is to allow students who are unable to get vaccines to be able to go to school without having to worry about an increased chance of transmission of the sicknesses they cannot get a vaccine for. Banning them along with with children whose families are nutcases goes against the intent of the rule and as such is a pedantic interpretation of the rule which would be thrown out during deliberations

That is a reasonable answer to my question.

I mean my first comment was a reasonable answer to the question just super simplified from exasperation at having to bring up intent of the law for the 100th time when discussing rules and legal stuff

It was a pretty vague statement to answer a yes or no question. Protecting the unvaccinated kids could be accomplished by not letting them into school. You also made some logic leaps that makes sense only when you state them to others as you finally did. If you provide more clarity perhaps you won’t experience so much exasperation.

The title...aren't you supposed to bring homework to school? Maybe I'm an old fart but you need to turn in homework, right?

It's settled then, we need vaccines to protect kids om peanut allergies.
