VACCINATIONS IN SCHOOL CAN SAVE LIVES – RESEARCH BY DON JURAVIN

HOLY LAND MINISTRY (nonprofit org led by Don Karl Juravin, Florida), found that it is not necessarily the law that can convince the anti-vaxx community to embrace vaccines. Society and the demands of parenthood can be structured to force vaccines on parents that would otherwise ignore the demand. Peer pressure is a tool that the medical community needs to make use of in this situation.

Question: How can communities and society help stop the anti-vaxx movement from causing more medical crises in the United States of America?

Juravin answers that schools might be able to exercise power over parents who refuse to vaccinate their children.

INVESTIGATION RESULTS  

• 50 states require specific vaccines for children in order to be granted admittance into schools.
• 25% of students in charter schools are unvaccinated.
• 45% of people in Michigan live in counties at risk of a measles epidemic because of the lack of vaccines in the state.

But vaccines might not be solved by legislation. They might end up being solved by the schools and the teachers.

The debates over vaccinations Vaccination are often cast as arguments over the integrity of science. But they can just as easily be understood as conversations about power, writes Eula Biss, a senior lecturer at Northwestern University, in her book, On Immunity: An Inoculation. As it stands, all 50 states require specific vaccines for school-aged children, although each grants exemptions for students unable to be vaccinated for medical reasons.
